antonvs Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Just saw this announcement in Plane&Pilot. This would make a great plane for simming low and slow. The ICON A5 Has Entered The Building http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/products/whats-new/the-icon-a5-has-entered-the-building.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Learn%20more%20%C2%BB&utm_campaign=PP_eNL_July1#.Vam5wKSqqkp Anyone up to the challenge?

Yeh, but it's also quite ground breaking, read the article on the first post and you will see what I mean.

Bruce Hamilton Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I see there was no expense spared on the virtual cockpit, biggest thing there is the default GPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvain Delepierre Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hi there, I found this excellent freeware yesterday http://www.classicwings.net/#!aircraft--i-/jnt9f It is certified FSX and P3D. However, it does not load in my FSX. Error: unable to load the model. It flies like a charm in P3D V3. The VC is really very nice and the sound is good too. Reminds me the one I flew a few years back in MS Flight (R.I.P.). Really worth a try for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my new favorite also. Too bad, there is no compass, a little bit tricky when you are on approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad, there is no compass, a little bit tricky when you are on approach. Thanks Sylvian, I generally just do VFR using the GPS with it but it feels really nice. Hopefully an update to this might solve that or now they're acutally in production and delivering to customers a Dev may make a nice project of it. Its a Bargin at the price in realware or freeware.

rogera Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 For The Classic Wings version, I've found that if you use the A5_interior_old.MDL in the model folder renamed A5_interior.MDL and backup the P3D version it displays in FsX/Acceleration.

rogera Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hi Sylvain, Some of the click spots don't work in FsX but everything is catered for by key strokes, except the CHT gauge which always shows max temperature after a few minutes. Oh and the additional vc light looks better and not so bright if you comment out the manual addition under [Lights}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and the additional vc light looks better and not so bright if you comment out the manual addition under [Lights}. Thanks, I will try that. [EDIT] much better indeed I adjusted the eyepoint. Default lateral was putting me outside the cockpit when I looked right with my track IR. Changed lateral value from -1.4 to -1.0 I also added a right seat cockpit view [CameraDefinition.001]Title = "Right Seat"Guid = {B3F59DDD-014B-45A0-B936-E1D88F24E2A6}Origin = Virtual CockpitMomentumEffect = YesSnapPbhAdjust = SwivelSnapPbhReturn = FalsePanPbhAdjust = SwivelPanPbhReturn = FalseTrack = NoneShowAxis = YESAllowZoom = TRUEInitialZoom = 0.5SmoothZoomTime = 2.0ZoomPanScalar = 1.0ShowWeather = YesXyzAdjust = TRUEShowLensFlare=FALSECategory = CockpitPitchPanRate=20HeadingPanRate=60InitialXyz=0.62, 0.06, 0.0InitialPbh=8, 0, 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meerkat Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'm almost sure the freeware from classicwings contains the 3D model from MS flight - it is really smooth an the HD textures are as crisp as can be. This is in strong contrast to the poor flight model. Maybe, someone has managed to get the model out of FLIGHT, but not the config, and was forced to improvise. The water rudder is missing, there are flaps defined in the config (like the real thing has) while the aircraft 3D model has none, and it flies a bit like an airbus (much too stable). I'm looking into the older freeware from Andreas Koerner (2011) - maybe the config of that plane can be mated with the new 3D model... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvain Delepierre Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'm almost sure the freeware from classicwings contains the 3D model from MS flight Hi Markus, That was my first thought too. I aslo noticed the water rudder and the flaps. Would be nice if you could tweak the config file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinoyAir Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Too bad, there is no compass, a little bit tricky when you are on approach. Hi Sylvain, You can find a compas on the GPS display, and switch between the GPS or compass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already found that. It would be nice to have it in the VC display too. That north oriented map is really not easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That north oriented map is really not easy to use. I mean on the GPS in the VC. Basically, Once you have the engine started press ok on the GPS in the VC, then pressing MAP the bottom function (on the GPS) will display a compass, Pressing TOPO DISP will then display the GPS, mine is not North Orientated it's Aircraft Orientated. The installer for mine is v1.0.0. Sorry for the double post.. looking for ther delete function.. it eludes me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dowloaded mine here http://www.classicwings.net/#!aircraft--i-/jnt9f There is no installer, I just copied the files in the airplanes folder. Where did you get you copy?

PinoyAir Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Here you go, with a little bit of tinkering in the panel.cfg will give this result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvain Delepierre Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I tried the same solution : Pros: you can program the GPS in the VC. Cons: - the display is not so nice and the map is too small IMO. - you loose the shadowed terrain which is so nice. I applied another tweak to have the map aircraft oriented. I program the GPS in the popup window before take-off and I am happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFlyer Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Anyone know of a version with flaps or has modded to add flaps? I really like this little guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
