Sale now on. Put credit card here.

Twas about to post .. and this is were you get your Skyhawk from ... I mite look at the Tornado ..

by **Charl** » Fri May 10, 2013 6:58 pm

Finally some prices that are back down out of the stratosphere.
Maybe I'll get a couple that couldn't previously be justified: 40 bucks for an Apache Longbow never really appealed.
Love the C-17, now 1/4 what I paid for it up front & waited a year to get...

Further saving of about 15% at Sim Market ATM

Good stuff. Got a heap of these titles, think I might grab the Tornado, and maybe the Seasprite does anyone know how it compares to the freebie Seasprite (which I seem to recall has a nice exterior). Oh and all nzff-ers must buy the Yak and Harvard for some mass multiplayer action

First purchase in a while A-4 Skyhawk

by **Charl** » Sat May 11, 2013 9:42 am

Deeknow the freeware Seasprite is the better bet - (then) Alphasim model has a deformed tail!

I ended up with a $40 Apache after all.
While there I thought a Dauphin would be nice, somehow in the 2,177 aircraft folders I have, never got round to this one.
So I bought that and the Apache.
When I installed it, it asked if I wanted to repair the existing Dauphin!
Ah.
I have the Alphasim Dauphin y'see, so a search on Virtavia didn't show up.
Caveat Emptor.
For the record: the Apache is absolutely not a $40 model, either.

Slightly deformed but it is a better in cockpit with Adrians "ABs" Cockpit Texture replacement

Thanks Charl. Ended up buying it and yeah I agree some of the modelling is not as good as the freebie, but in some areas it is more detailed. The panel of course is WAY better and worth it for the discounted price alone. Think its fair to say the textures for the NZ Navy on the payware look a little more detailed as well.

I may look at merging the panel with the freebie. Also the sound pack is a little odd.

Hey, I see Deane has the Virtavia stuff on sale at PC Aviator now too, does anyone have the B-24 from Virtavia? Looks pretty reasonable...

Thinking about the A-4 Skyhawk, but also may hold out for the Sibwings An-2....thoughts?

by **Ian Warren** » Tue May 14, 2013 12:51 pm

I think the A4 is worth this costing on sale , the new style VC dose it favours , it is the best Virtavia Jet yet .

The A-4 is hard to pass up at the current price IMHO!

knowing your tastes Sean, i feel if your saving for the AN-2 i think you would be a lot happier to get your long awaited AN-2 on time, rather than waiting longer due to the fact that you got something like this A4 just for the sake of it

while i love the A4, this model did nothing for me like the hind, f111 and ch47 and other recent purchases from them, they still have that old alphasim feel and look to them IMHO, while the VCs have gotten better the FDEs and exteriors are still well behind the 8 ball after all this time FSX has been around

again with your passion for red planes, the AN-2 will have a longer life span with you and you will be over the moon on the day of its release

I think I've come to the same conclusion! The only drawback to the An-2 is that I can probably get to any destination faster by walking! Anyway...obviously looking forward to it...

That was a demo the owners did with the AN2 at Wanaka ... you could off got out and walked, amazing watching aircraft that size stop like Tiger Moth would in a good stiff breeze .
