September 13, 20223 yr It's definitely the Sydney Opera House. If you can walk away it's a good landing
September 13, 20223 yr The Kitfox is good but needs some work. I'm glad I bought it but will keep it in my hanger until some of the bugs are fixed. This is from flightsim.to - Known issues: Sound issues Fuel flow issue RPM display issues Windows too tinted Wheel pants variant to be added Pilot and copilot model missing More weathering on textures Passenger door animation 750 integration Airmaster Propeller controls to be made functional Autopilot related issues Model issues near wing struts connection FIXED Flap animation missing FIXED Pilot Weight issue FIXED You can expect all of the above issues/feedback to be fixed or implemented within September 2022. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base

September 13, 20223 yr Wow that RV8 took a while. It was first announced almost at the release of the sim. Wonder how in depth it is? I bought it will write my impressions here in a bit. Hard to see with the avatar in the cockpit... not sure how to fix that. Fairly basic plane no special parts to it. Sounds are ok... has a basic autopilot but the LCD digits are offset same with the DME - seems like a bug. There's no TDS GTN 650Xi support (but I heard TDS is working on getting in touch with the dev) A few impressions: Way too underpowered. I'm doing 150 ktas full throttle at 8000 ft ISA. It's a fixed pitch prop too. Even if they modeled the weakest engine it should be about 180 ktas. LCD issues on the AP screen - very basic 2 axis AP holds heading and alt. There's no USA registered liveries. Does have some Van's gauges which are nice. So far I'd not recommend it - especially if I can't get rid of this avatar in my face. I kinda get annoyed that devs don't do the most powerful engine setup.... It's an RV! They're meant to go fast and be aerobatic! Like I said even if they did the 160hp it's far too slow... see rw perf chart at the bottom here rv8face by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr And a gauge/exterior closeup too see the details rv8ext by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr rv8int by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr rv8perf by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr Edited September 13, 20223 yr by ryanbatc | 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 |
September 14, 20223 yr I was going to ask what the flight dynamics are like but after seeing that cockpit pic and reading about your power issues I've lost interest a bit. However - does it stall? Any aerobatic capability? A friend of mine at the airfield I fly from part-owns one of these. He loves his real-world version and I was considering taking a share in the aircraft but I'm not really into aero's - they make me feel nauseous :) Chillblast Core i5 14600KF Liquid Cooled RTX 4070 SUPER 32GB RAM.

October 12, 20223 yr The RV8 Dev knows there are issues. I think they just released it too early. They have promised a fix for the performance.
