GA or AG ... the ALC188

[Ian Warren]

It not like me to .. to B , B , Buy a GA or AG , but hell - thought at $25.50NZ .. lets just have a look , this makes this in all my years of Flight Sim - the third .




I am very impressed with the elevator trim tab that actually works , physically moves

[chopper_nut]

Somehow you need to be able to simulate the whole operation ie: the trucks for fuel, loaders for the super etc. Its about time a there were more ag aeroplanes available.

[Ian Warren]

With this type , be ideal as a glider tow as well ... that would be superb MP module

Good on ya Ian. We'll get you in an Airtruk yet !! Moving Trim tab! My Cresco has one of those too
The VC looks amazing as does the external detailing. Wheres me Credit card!

Nick - I have almost finished a line up of loaders and also Fert bins for use in a scenery library. They will be static, but eventually I'd like to be able to get the plane payload to restore to 100% when parked under (or near) a loader or even better the loader to drive to the plane and reset payload to 100% !!

[Kahu]

hmmm Whats up with this Ian

[Ian Warren]

I no Gav .. just wonder if it was the bang on the head ... No way .. cheap and figured lets see what all these GA planes are all about .. takes ya friggen hours to get down the bloody country tho

[Kahu]

OK then, remember GA = Ground Attack, like the Iris A-10 or even the Aerosoft Bronco. I think this AC you have shown is used as a drone for testing weapons

I knew it ... took me 5 ta plus a little to get from Welly to Auckland on me 1100 .. no wonder i'm so anti GA .. even in a direct line and route i beat the 188 on two wheels

You are flying over the worng places Ian!...cityscape and at altitude?...you should be down in the weeds on the farm. Does it have fert option as well as a spray option?

[chopper_nut]

Good on ya Deano, thats what Ive wanted for a long time. Be neat to make the loaders come and 'fill up' your machine.

Not sure .. these GA/AG airplanes are so bloody complicated , has a lever in the cockpit .. but after mentioning my .. Umm .. well .. thought it may a ejection seat lever handle

[Ian Warren]
