A1R Chilton DW1 Mini Review

[ryanbatc 12,854]

I forgot I did this flight a while back and took a bunch of shots.

This is a lovely little stick and rudder plane from A1R - they also made the Ryan STA (for MSFS) along with a few others for previous sims.

The metal and textures are some of the very best.  The sound is decent.

Please enjoy this flight from Windhover's freeware 4B8 to Orbx New Haven, CT KHVN

The price is reasonable and I really enjoy flying this when I'm not screaming along in the Black Square Baron...

Into the pattern (we've called ahead with an ETA just in case our simple radio is inop)

I just love this angle and the lighting...

It's not slow by any means...  you're doing Cessna speeds in this little 1930's racer

The cockpit is exquisite - flying in VR feels like being 'there'

Fantastic Ryan....but TBH...I came to the forums to see if you purchased/flew The New KingAir 350 for XP12?

I have - haven't really flown it though...  the issue with two sims is that I already am time limited hehe...  MSFS being my first love haha

Wonderful series of shots of this plane, and enjoyable commentary bits to boot...Ryan...

Though, a few (here) might not agree with below....🙂.... I know this a/c is not slow, and looks pretty too, but surely cannot take you on a 15-hr non-stop hop across the oceans...🙂...

Anyway, it looks like a great catch for enjoying VFR flights in MSFS....thanks for sharing your experience...!!

A top class set Ryan and a neat looking plane.

Be careful not to upset the cattle truck drivers though!
