Baytower RV-7? Hmmmph.....

Featured Replies

Yep, I have put more hours in this plane than any other that I have now and ones that are in the moth ball fleet.

I'm very happily stuck in it, and I'm not getting out!

Brilliant a/c!

So, I guess the next logical question would be what will Baytower do next? They are certainly off to a good start.

.. BTW anyone know how I can increase the reflection on the inside of the tilting cockpit, 'cos at the moment it looks like there is no glass at all!

 

I love my RV-7 and have been putting a fair few hours in her of late...

 

That said, this reflection issue also bugs me too - in the flip-canopy model, unless I crank my virtual neck as far left or right as it can go without turning a full 180, there just seems to be no indicator that there is any glass between me and the wild blue yonder.

 

Occasional I may see a slight hint of a reflection, but it is way too clean, too clear and more than a little distracting!

 

Oddly, the problem isn't as pronounced with the sliding canopy model - I guess as a result of having the canopy framework in view, your eyes accept the rest of the glass must be there too.

 

I don't have this issue with any other plane and I have tried both the DX9 and DX10 models (I use DX9 in FSX) and the result is the same.

 

Are myself and Rockliffe the only ones with this issue?

Cheers!

How about a SP1 to add additional pilot figures, a clock in the panel, choice of panel light colors, fix a few text issues with pull knobs, and just for kicks come out with a float and amphibian version. Just suggestions.

Float and amphibian version, now that would be cool!
