December 21, 20205 yr Hey, do you think we should look at "folding wing tips"? I kinda look out of place here. 🙃 😁 When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .

It works well, sits rock steady on altitude & heading. See AP set up tip in listing below: https://flightsim.to/file/3723/savage-carbon-stol-realism-mod I imagine the same AP functionality will go into this one as there is a demand for it & the designer, (GotGravel), is responsive to reasonable requests.

December 21, 20205 yr The GotGravel Artic Paint Savage Carbon is my goto low and slow plane. I use the AP functions most every day. When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .

I can fly cross country at 130 - 150 kts. 🙃🤪 @raymar Ray- on good authority the AP will be similar to the one in the GGCC... this one is more like a 60's Muscle Car, whilst the Carbon Cub is more like an 80's Lotus Turbo Esprit... making more with less. In the good ole' USA we say, "There's no substitute for cubic inches!" 🙂 C Edited December 22, 20205 yr by cavaricooper Best- Carl Avari-Cooper
December 22, 20205 yr Thanks C, that is good news on the AP. I am kinda lazy in my old age and tend to prefer looking around the countryside and I am flying along. I wonder if this new Muscle Car version could possible have a floats version one day. If not, maybe we can get some of that helium in those big tires and make them float a bit. Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
December 22, 20205 yr These tires will float, but the rest is really waiting for Asobo. There are so many basic things that are still not implemented in the AIR file... hopefully the updates will continue and these two birds will eventually become everything they can be. They are already very good, and will keep getting better as @GotGravel gets the tools he needs. Looking forward to some more testing tomorrow... BIG BLOCK style 🙂 Carl Best- Carl Avari-Cooper
December 22, 20205 yr The Savage Grravel is getting ready, just added a little detail to the cowling. Chrome Mustang logo and some engine specs.
December 22, 20205 yr Just started a new forum topic for Grravel over at MSFS: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/coming-soon-savage-grravel-monster-truck-in-the-skies/338123
December 23, 20205 yr Grravel has been submitted for manual approval over at Flightsim.to. You may try your luck and see if she's ready for download 🙂 https://flightsim.to/file/5061/savage-grravel-monster-truck-in-the-skies
