Beautiful plane, the detail is amazing. The wheels, the wings, the interior, the engines, very nice. Does anyone know who is the developer?

Here is a nice review:

 

[Alvega 2,127]

Gonna have to do the old Pan American flight from Key West to Havana with this.

Edit: The propellers animation is really good, but I don't like the engine sound. I can barely hear the engines. Hope someone makes a mod for it or the dev updates it, it's lacking.

I also recommend reading the manual, there is a knob to change the panels if you want. There are 3 different panels.

That's what I found out too. Strange that these things slip through during final testing.

Launched the sim,  downloaded the Tri-Motor, and  loaded a flight in the DG-808S glider.  Then I noticed the Ford Tri-Motor available as a tow plane.   I lol'd,  and hit fly.   It towed me airborne in half a football field into a 2000 fpm initial climb,  then eventually settled into a 1000 fpm climb.

Guess I'll try the Sperry Gyro-Pilot on my trip from Key West to Havana. Never used one, looks fun.

Did you guys get the engine running without Ctrl-E?

1. Fuel valve open
2. Bat on
3. Ign master on
4. Magneto left both
5. Prime left about 3 times
6. Left starter switch on
7. Press starter

I get some smoke, but no turning prop.
