April Fools Day gift

Not convinced!  Show me a picture of it in your Sim and I'll reconsider it.

It is a MSFS addon. Showing it up would spoil the fun. You have to discover it by yourself. It can only work in MSFS and it is the best fun addon in a long time. Bring it back to where it belongs !

Sorry to say, we have lost one from airplanes to boats.  What?

 

 

The GotFriend gift is absolutely brilliant!  It has better flight dynamics than a lot of the default aircraft, but I am not surprised, as it is a GotFriends aircraft.

Slow trim adjustment, which I like, and performance at Sedona (about 5000ft) was fine.  You can actually get this into a spin if you pull back on the stick too hard.  

@charliearon  I can vouch for this being a proper flyable plane.  I think it needs to go back into the MSFS forum so people can be informed about it and give it a try.  I's a nice little fun freebie!  It is well gone 12 noon here now anyway.  :biggrin:

Didn't notice what forum it's in??  I put it back in over 2 hrs. ago! 😀  The reason I moved it was that several members reported it as having nothing to do with MSFS 2020.

Did they follow that up a bit later with 'Gotcha!!😁'?

I wonder if it's still too early to post a picture of it. It must still be April Fools' day somewhere in the world.

Ah!  OK - thanks!  Maybe I didn't refresh the page, but I can see you have put it back now. 

Strange how some members said that.  I can sincerely say say it is a very flyable MSFS plane, but of course it has a comical aspect to it.  I had tears in my eyes while genuinely enjoying it!  :biggrin:

Whether AvAngel will review it remains to be seen, but this is one where she won't need a manual!

Ya coulda just sent the pic to my PM and no one would have seen it but me.   Sorry, but we have to be very careful about what someone may consider a joke that may offend someone else.

Has it gone noon in Western USA and Canada?  We could probably show it then.  I still think it needs a YouTube review.  :biggrin:

It's really well done I think. Well modelled and a bit of a challenge. I prefer it to the little Skipper they did recently. Hopefully AvAngel is working on a showcase right now.

Of course - yes!  OK then, as it is now passed noon for most.  I need to make a new photo repository, so I can't post a screen shot, but this link will give you a taster!  :laugh:

For people who don't want to spoil it for themselves - don't look!  The picture doesn't do it justice really.

Obviously you can go for the pilot of your choice, and it has a few fun features.  Don't run out of quarters is all I will say, especially on approach!  :biggrin:

I find the endless 'Will my PC run MSFS' posts kind of offensive yet they linger for ages and are rarely moved to the correct forum, but there you go.
