Aerobask ViperJet is Released!

[Jimmy RFR 406]

As the title says: it's out, newly released at the dot org. 

 

I've been checking the org at least four or five times a day for this; I guessed it was imminent since I saw the Aerobask website change a few days ago, and there was a google gallery of images for it uploaded by Nicolas Taureau at the org a few days ago as well.  Yes... I may have been looking forward to this one a wee bit...

 

I know what I'm doing tonight!!

 

Looks gorgeous even just sitting still.  Great looking assortment of instrumentation as well.  Plus it goes plenty fast... Should be a nice combination of fun to fly and comfortable to cruise in.

Blah!  But I just purchased the DDENN Challenger not a week ago!  Plane looks sweet for sure.

 

I actually don't see the link do you have one?

Jimmy, I see nothing on the Org forums nor the Org Store for this one?

 

The Aerobask site just says "coming soon".

(That's not a reliable indicator in the X-Plane world unfortunately; the IXEG 733 has been "coming soon" for the last 25 years lol)

[Jimmy RFR 406]

Hmm.... it was up earlier.  Was priced at $21.95 if I recall.

 

I'm a little sad, since I just sat down at my PC, wallet at the ready.  Was posting at work previously.

I'm going to work so maybe it will be up when I get off in the marnin'

[Jimmy RFR 406]

Now I'm going to spend my evening hitting refresh on my browser...

 

Shoulda purchased while at work, but I usually wait until I'm home to do any e-commerce type stuff.

 

PS: Just so no-one thinks I'm hallucinating:

 

(and fyi, that page now says "product not available" or somesuch..)

 

[ryanbatc 12,814]

Still not out yet :(

[Jimmy RFR 406]

Still not out yet

 

I know!  On one hand, if it's not released yet, it means it wasn't ready quite yet; I don't mind waiting if it results in a better product.  However, on the other had, the 'almost' release had me all excited!

[Jimmy RFR 406]

Since it's now been out for a few hours, and has stayed out this time (it made a very brief appearence yesterday morning as well), I shouldn't be too premature to say it's been released!

 

Hesitantly, in case it disappears again, I'm going to say that I'll be flying it tonight...

[ryanbatc 12,814]

Out this morning

A little heavy on the fps on my rig though - nimble and fun however

 

 

[Jimmy RFR 406]

Mmmmm.... downloading as I type.  Redeemed points for it!

I couldn't resist........................So, i ordered the Viperjet today. Nice bird with good avionics and performance. Like a personal fighter. Flies nicely. The price was good as well at $21.95.

[ryanbatc 12,814]

Agreed was a great value - would be a 35 dollar addon in fsx

[scotchegg 4,170]

I like the quirky planes Aerobask do but after getting their Lancair I can't help finding their textures a bit cartoony and plasticky. That's what's putting me off this one too, although a civvie jet would be great fun.

[ryanbatc 12,814]

They do kinda - probably because there's no metal type shine for XP. Well the DDEN challenger has something but it's a bit overdone.

 

I find most XP addons to be plasticky looking. Some aircraft like LES Saab look superb though
