Dawn flight testing new plane


Jack Sawyer

Recommended Posts

Bought this little toy the other day.  The Corvallis.  Have a couple of issues with it but maybe it's me.

 

Anyway, wanted to test it on a flight from Lake Tahoe to Blue Canyon Nyack.  KTLV - KBLU, took off just after dawn.

 

Orbx Global, Vector, N/A LC, Trees, KTLV, KBLU, AS16 on with default P3D clouds, and Adam's latest and greatest PTA preset 20_07.

No nose wheel steering, so it takes some getting used to.

Stunning shots Jack, a very good choice of points A and B to showcase the Orbx/FTX scenery. Cheers, Les

Thanks Les!  I'm making a Orbx to Orbx airport flight, wanna land at them all.

Beautiful series of shots Jack.

I have made that trip several times, a most enjoyable flight.

Hope you enjoy the Corvalis.

Thanks Martyn.  Don't know if this plane has pilot heat and sometimes my engine cuts out.  Might be throttle issues, don't know.  They said it was supposed to be for P3D.

Oh, this plane seems to fit to these airport sizes very well...!

It does Gerold, it's a cool little plane.  I like it.

Great shots,  Jack !   This AC reminds me a lot of the SR22 GTSX Turbo,  but   'without'   the framerate penalty.

Thanks MZee.  It does, it look almost exactly like it.  Frames were pretty good too.

235 kts with wheel pants - impressive.

I thought so too OnD!  Not bad for a little, nimble plane like this.

Nice new toy you have Jack, that's the old Columbia I had from Eaglesoft for FS9. Super shots! :)

Thanks Adam, I got this from Alabeo.

Jack,

 

Hope you are enjoying your new plane.  My parents used to live in Reno.  I love the Lake Tahoe area.  Thanks for the memories by looking at your wonderful pics.

Hi PDX. I loved Reno.  For five years I'd go there and fly in the hot air balloon races.  The biggest little town in the west.

Jack, brilliant action. I simply love the lighting on the mountains in that first VC shot...very good man!

Thanks Robert!  I like the way they light the cockpit too, look fluorescent almost.
