The first flight's in the logbook! Departed HQM with a full boat and enough fuel to go wherever (I'm only equipped with a sixty minute rump, i.e. not real far). 200 knots indicated, 2,500 feet per minute uphill, and hit 4,000 feet on crosswind. Sprinted through a really wide pattern at 250 knots, let down easily and rolled her right onto the fixed distance markers with nary a chirp.

She flies great. She looks great. She sounds great.

She is great! Thanks again, Team! :applause:



Curious question: was the 350 pressurized?

On behalf of the team, thank you very much. :)

Yes, it was pressurized.

I agree with that comment P, he was also a great producer of super paints doing many for us on several different projects.

His paints for the Howard 500 featured in the upcoming release are some of my favs.

He is missed.
 
Working to package up the Howard 500 now for beta testing. Should be out in a few days if all goes well.

This package will have the originally mapped models, plus the newer tail mapped models, and a few other updates all FSX native and tested in P3D v4.

Thanks Expat :) Great shot!

Did you find that Wing Ice Detection Light Switch on the Right Knee Console in the De-Ice Section. :)
 
I really like those panoramic windows. Great work everyone!

Thanks everyone. Happy that you can enjoy the 350, and hopefully the Howard 500 very shortly.

I do have a question for you all.

I have 21 liveries in the Howard 500 package with five models. These represent the original two liveries for the passenger and cargo versions, and around 16 liveries in total for the old model versions.
This includes around 11 from the late Damian Radice that are becoming hard to find, and now tweaked for the FSX native version.

There are also 4-5 paints from Ted Wolfgang (TuFun) that use the remapped newer versions of the Howard 500. These are the only paint version examples that use the newer remapped tail versions.

There is also a beautiful TWA livery from Willy that can be used with either the old or new passenger versions.

The package size is not extraordinarily large (167M download) but some have suggested maybe too many liveries for a release.

I did remove 10 other liveries from other artists and now down to the original authors, plus Damian Radice, Willy, and TuFun.

I will likely remove two liveries that I cannot identify the authors bringing the total liveries to 19 reducing total size by 10MB.

Do you have any suggestions or preferences in this regard?

167Mb it's not so big file size these days. You can create a another package that contains most of the liveries, but you only include 2 original repaints in main package if you want to make main package file size smaller?
 
I'm partial to one big download. It makes for less "clicking" around. But I understand that's a problem for many with slower Internet connections, so perhaps put an assortment of liveries in the main package, then group the remainder together in a separate package?

This sounds fair :)

I'm for whatever makes your life easier with regard to packaging and uploading. Barring no difference there, I'm fine with what everyone else wants. Six of one, half dozen of the other as far as I'm concerned.
 
Packaging is already done; just wondering whether to remove any or not. :)

My thinking is, it's a lot easier to remove what you do not want than to add what you do want. :) LOL

Appreciate all your thoughts on the matter.
 
Uncle Milton

I would leave the pack big
And yes an unknown artist-and yes there are rules

But I guess to talk for 90% of (tiny ) producers and community- Its am HONOUR to be on an MS&Team Plane

Just my 2 cents

Roland

PS:That 350 is a really looking fas ( in face is fast and works esentially well in P3D V4.4
