Fast IFR/Sightseeing Prop

[ZachLW 37]

Sight seeing? A2A CUB with Accusim! High wing. Low and slow. Open the side door and you've got an excellent view (Suggest TrackIR to get a feeling of the real thing). I recorded a recreational flight yesterday with my new GoPro. Perhaps I'll share it to show the great view from the real bird.

Doesn't exactly fall into the category of IFR/fast prop though :(

Damn. I did it again Ryan. :( Isn't that an oxymoron though? Edited January 19, 2012 by ZachLW

Well, if you don't need the speed, you can't beat these for view:1) Aerosoft Katana DA-20 ... great plane...once I fixed the windshield 'opaque during rain' issue in FSX sp22) IRIS Katana DA-40 , great plane3) Aerosoft Katana 4x ...looks nice but I don't own this oneand if you reaaaallly don't need speed, you can't beat Ant's Drifter :(

I have the Katana 4X. Since you apparently have a fetish for Diamond Aircraft (yuck), I highly recommend you purchase the 4X! It's wonderful!

Bay Tower's RV-7! You will get a taildragger and trycicle and also the choice between a sliding canopy and one that you tip up: the latter gives an awesome view on the scenery. it has everything you need, really, including a cool configurator for setting up various items (some of them I've never seen before in another addon). Speed is great, handling too. All in all one of the best if not THE best GA around. I've been flying nothing else since the day I bought it. And o yes, support is incredible: the dev is on the forum constantly, so it seems. Highly recommended!The plane is still in beta and you have to register to the forum to get acces to the official Flight1 wrapper. But don't let 'beta' fool you: the dev just keeps improving on things and calls it a beta, while other devs might have released this version as the final version a long time ago already. :(

The RV7 is a beauty. This is one fantastic creation. THANK YOU!
