Hi to all.

This company LHC has this small aircraft promotion: http://www.lionheartcreations.com/Lionheart_FlightSimulations.html

 

My question is if this company makes good planes or if there is other better options?

 

Thanks for the help.

They are good developers. Well recommended!

I have their Epic LT.  It's a beautifully sculpted aircraft with a fps friendly VC.  It's also a deal since it works in FS9 and FSX.  It's one of my favorite aircraft and the fastest single you can get.

Hi to all.

This company LHC has this small aircraft promotion: http://www.lionheartcreations.com/Lionheart_FlightSimulations.html

I had the Epic LT already and the Quest Kodiak. Both are very fine planes, not in terms of system depth, though. The cockpits are similar, both feature a Garmin-style glasscockpit. The Kodiak is said to be one of the finest amphibians available.

 

Today I went for a bundle of Epic Victory plus Super Pacer: Victory is a VLJ but features the same Garmin cockpit. Super Pacer is an old  bush flyer's aircraft and comes with a few custom-made landing spots around Anchorage. Can't tell you much of those two, yet.

 

I also own the Avelina, but it's a piece of playing around with a GA airplane, mixing some BMW car into it plus a good deal of StarTrek: Not everybody's taste; you have to love it BEFORE you buy it.

 

For GA you should consider Carenado as an option (not so many glasscockpits); for the VLJ the Feelthere Phenom 100 is a good offer, too (more expensive, but more systems, also).

 

As far as the LHC Epic LT and their Kodiak are concerned, you won't be wrong, anyway.

I have the Pacer and it's a very good airplane.  Perhaps the best at modeling taildragger ground handling of all the many taildraggers I have.  I have a soft spot for it, though, because of it's resemblance to a Chief. It has a nicely aged VC and oozes classic airplane. 

I have the Pasped Skylark as well, and it's a totally fun airplane to fly.  Definitely a keeper in my overcrowded hangars. 

 

While the Kodiak is older, and so has less system depth, it has a lot of nice models and is a great bush plane.

 

Those are the only ones I have, but yes, I think Bill makes very good aircraft.  I like them better than Carenado, whose aircraft often look nice, but are a bit bland in flight modeling. 

Thanks for the advice to all.  I bought the Epic LT and the Kodiak.

Just a quick comment on the Epic Victory and the Piper Pacer (since JF Pick&Mix is continuing for a few more hours):

 

I can't really get the hang out of the E.V.: It feels to be very overpowered and response to flight controls is sluggish. I'm gonna stick to my Phenom 100 (feelthere, not included in that P&M offer and at a steeper price).

 

The Piper Pacer is very stable and responsive. A reliable plane that's fun and easy to fly. I never ever greased a taildragger (other models are included, too) onto the runway so easily on my very first flight.

 

So I end up with three recommendations (just my 2 cents, of course):

 

- bush-flying old-style: Piper Pacer

- bush-flying modern style: Quest Kodiak

- high-perf turbprop: Epic LT (don't mix up those two Epics!)

I have their Quest Kodiak, but I hardly ever use it. I rather like the C208, which is pretty similar, but with analogue gauges, which I prefer. The only situation I use the Kodiak for is when I need an amphibious plane and the Goose is too large.

But basically the reason I don't use it is the glass cockpit, which is a question of personal preference; the modelling itself is really great, it is up there with A2A and RealAir IMHO.

I love the Kodiak despite being Glass but the Epic LT? It's my worst payware purchase, uninstalled now. It's also been mentioned in other threads as a bad purchase. This is the first time I have heard it being praised. Though I guess for the price maybe its ok - less than half of RealAir products. To each his own I guess. That said Kodiak is great, my favorite plane in Orbx Pacific Fjords.
