Been wanting one of these for donkeys years

[Ian Warren]

It dose look a goodie, now released Mike may concentrate on the more well know Devon .

[Tupolev114]

Decided to get this and not the PMDG 777-300ER

[Tupolev114]

The release has a paint of ZK-EKO from Air North but no NZNAC

Gives you something to work on Ethan , knowing Mikes work, it very easy to work on .

[Tupolev114]

Yea going to give this one a go, have started on the red air north ZK-BBM to test the paint kit and it seems to be very easy so far

Could you tell us about the soundset and the FDE? How do you find them?

[Tupolev114]

Took the fixed gear version on a flight from NZKT to NZKK, the plane flys as i would expect, feels like it is to fast being that is fixed gear, and for me at least the props do not work correctly and the mixture has little to no effect the sounds are fantastic but flaps and some others a taken form default as far as my ears can tell, model wise 10/10 texture wise 10/10. is it worth 35NZD maybe not i would say 25 to 30 but it depends on if you want it bad enough like i did to pay the price

[Splitpin]

Will it work with windows XP ? cant find any system specs. If so I'll grab it

[Tupolev114]

I have windows 7 so i couldn't say exactly but i would say so, there is nothing fancy around the installer etc maybe pass a email to them to find out for sure

Cheers , I will.

[Ian Warren]

I could have tried it , but the Heron ... had it been the Devon on a XP machine , like Mikes work but waiting for the DH104.

[Splitpin]

Just paid for it anyway .... downloding now (257 Mb) will be good to have , Im upgrading soon anyway.

[Splitpin]

It works Not to bad , will screen up well. Prop texture could be a tad more solid , maybe a bit more grime in the cockpit and perhaps some weathering .... but all in all (from my point of view) pretty good.
Over priced , but a welcome addition to my hanger . Not sure about the fde .

Screens on the way.

Nice choice !!!
I guess you've seen this thread?, has a couple of pics: http://rnzaf.proboards.com/thread/4308

[Ian Warren]

Dean , I do like that link you dug up, only once I have seen the Heron and that was Tauranga seven or eight years back .. I did not know Vincent Aviation operated the type, the photos there are a good description of the fuselage and serous shows how small they are.

[Adrian Brausch]

why is there a phantom wing visible from the port side VC ,...its visible in their screenshots ??!!!...someone wasnt paying attention at any stage of the build,..feels rushed...its a shame...overpriced IMO also especially with very visible errors such as extra parts floating outside the VC.
