June 14, 20215 yr https://fselite.net/news/terrainy-studios-previews-rv-8-for-msfs/ Anyone know anything about these guys? Ironically, I just left a deposit on a real RV-8 this past Friday. Looking forward to flying the MSFS version on rainy days!

June 14, 20214 yr Agreed looks nice... avionics look very basic though. Typically RV owners add really nice stuff to their cockpits. Engine monitors, GTX 345 transponder, GTNs, / glass PFD/MFD such as Gamrin G5. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
June 16, 20214 yr Author I agree they went way off in left field with the avionics. No idea what they were thinking there...

June 16, 20214 yr Logical choice for an add-on. It's hard to find a GA field that doesn't have several. I shared a hangar with one for many years, and my best flying buddy also flew one. Intel [email protected] GHZ. 32 GB RTX 4070 Ti OC

June 17, 20214 yr Still it looks like nice textures and modeling. I think I read there is an RV-8 pilot on the team. So likely I'll be buying this thing. Although not ideal, there are always the default autopilot key bindings. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
June 17, 20214 yr So much obsession with autopilots ! There is always slew mode if you are really adverse to hand flying for any length of time 😄

I can sit in the Musketeer irl and be almost hands off, even with some light turbulence. Anyway the point is, these RV's are not like your rental Skyhawks...the vast majority would have autopilots. Even the ancient JF Turbo Arrow I just bought has a basic AP. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
