My post over at Baytowers Forum"Got the plane last evening. Just got the basics set up and made a few short hops. Like with all new additions I headed right over here to the forum to check out issues with bugs and any problems that might have popped up on release. Well what a disappointment!! It appears there is nothing wrong with it. No Ooops!! Nothing to tweek or fix!! You are messing up our hobby!!LOL Really guys just one hell of a job and what a great addition to the hanger!! Thanks for all the hard work and professionlism and you are a credit to the hobby."

:diablo:OK, that's it. I'm on the way to buy, and it is all your fault Jose if I become destitute and homeless without my meds at my age!

My friend, this is at the level of the L-39. No joke! I use it just as much, if not more. YOU WILL BE DELIGHTED.

What model is the engine?160 180 or 200hp?

This thing is way more fun than those street drugs!!!LOL :(

Sweet I was hoping for MORE POWER!!! But the 180 should work... I'm getting closer... lol!

Goll dang it! Thanks to you guys I'm freezing my butt off over the frozen tundra of North Dakota....Just some feedback... 1) No lotus style landing lights2) Blue hue for VC lighting is interesting, but since its a kit plane I guess it works for me3) Slippery little thing... much like Lancair/NGX, tough to slow down4) Rain effect is actually static - it does look realistic, but the moving droplets like in Ant's planes or Lotus' L39 would be cool5) Still need to read up on the RXP integration, default GPS isn't bad and looks like RXP version from aesthetic POV6) External model is beautiful, very graceful curves7) Interior is pretty good, lacks some life imho esp when compared to say Carenado models.a. Gauges are readable and 3D niceb. Clickspots are well placed etc8) Sounds are well done9) Still wish there was a 430W integration but I'll screw around with the 430 in the 530 spot for nowOverall a bit on the pricey side for what you get. I would have preferred $32.95 or something...I guess the price is right if you factor in the excellent fde :)

Suggest you try a flight out of Lihue, Kauai and fly around the island..Like a vacation trip! :(

Help! So many good planes. I already have Ant's Sierra, then he has his new one, the Eaglet, then I got the Carenado JetProp, then there's the new and free FDE update for the C208. What to do now? :( I want to have and fly them all, but I can't.And now all the guys praise the RV7, which renders the problem even worse. The screenshots look very good by the way.

I know, CoolP...it's maddening, isn't it? But I bought this one and have to say that it's up there with the RealAir Duke (both of 'em) and the accusimmed A2A Cub as one of my favorite GA planes now. The RealityXP integration is terrific, and the rest...well, it's very good. I have the Aerosft Diamond DA20-100 also, which is a very comprehensive and novel add-on, but I could never really warm up to it. This RV7 is one that I'll fly a lot more, because of its modelling, its speed, its range, and the visibility from the cockpit.

Ha Ha , I was in the same boat you were just last night. I bought it, and so will you.Bob

I can't see my GPS! Messing around over Jefferson.

It's not even the 29th yet and we are supporting the 3PD's. I rest my case.Bob

... then there's the new and free FDE update for the C208.

Thanks for mentioning that, it would have taken me ages to find out otherwise :((http://forum.avsim.n...363640-new-fde/)

Solution to this problem: only buy the GREAT planes and skip the good ones... The RV7 is a GREAT plane so get it. (Some people simply buy to many planes... :()

...and when you've spent some time with her, you realize little things like the panel isfully animated in the outside view, opening the canopy reveals the inner workings ofthe gauge clusters, and most importantly - everything works! Nothing for yours trulyto fiddle with and improve upon - and that is a good thing!
