• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Next in line for FSX Native conversion well in progress.

We have wheels, floats, amphibs, and skis in both passenger and cargo configurations.

Here are some shots of the wheel and floats versions WIP.

LOL Pete.

Yup, these are great hand-flyers, torque-y engines, no bad habits, even the water friendly versions.

Love how after take off initial climb-out, you can just pull the throttle back a bit, coarsen the prop pitch and you can feel the torque lurching you ahead. :)

Great sounds and liveries by the Man himself, Nigel, and some great paints by Matt Wynn.
 
Great Milton. I'm a big fan of your Avia series.:encouragement:

Yes, as I recall, it was because of you that this series was done due to a pic you posted of the Avia 51 that really impressed me.

The whole Avia series will be converted in due time.
 
Down to the last model to convert, the amphib cargo version.
Lots of models involved in the four packages so a bit time consuming.

Ah, thanks ... conversion is completed. Now time to go over all the details to see what needs to be corrected. Things are looking good.

Unfortunately, I have no bump/spec maps to enhance appearances but I have included neutralized bumps/specs and the materials support and capability to add them.
 
I have completed testing and now am packaging the Avia 56 series to upload, by day's end hopefully.

Deleted, after a long day putting up X-mas decorations with SWMBO I can't seem to test anything correctly.
