Incredible Ford Trimotor 5AT Coming Soon

Not affiliated with the dev, but this looks stunning, and significantly better than the Aeroplane Heaven version. The developer just activated their website within the past 24 hours. 

Coming presumably in the next month or two at the most for MSFS.

If it was available 6-12 months after the release of MSFS, why not, but A2A and Black Square just spoiled me.

It has chickens and watermelons for cargo (says their website). A Beverly Hillbillies plane?

I think it refers to the plane from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It was a cargo plane that carried chicken, didn't have enough parachutes and had a rubber dinghy:

  • Chickens.

  • No more parachutes.

  • Emergency Raft.

Well trained chickens make for self loading cargo !

I got the Sim version for free as I downloaded it within the first week of release, and while it may not be perfect (Then again, I don't know - How could I tell? Or anyone else for that matter), the MS version is certainly good enough for the type of plane it is.

While I never complain about a new aircraft being released, and developers have the ultimate right to do what they want of course, I just wish there was less duplication. 

The Stinson model A Tri-motor might have been more interesting and unique for a similar model from that era I think, but then again, there are absolutely loads to choose from that will probably never be made.

I've asked for more specifics regarding systems, sounds, flight dynamics, and other advanced features on the official forums. I know that the author was implementing a wwise sound package, but in terms of overall effort I *think* this is their first creation for MSFS. 

I would also like to note that AH's version is a 4AT, while this is a 5AT. 

Guessing that aircraft of this era are decades away from what the vast majority of simmers prefer, but for fans of true "vintage" aircraft, I have high hopes. 

Hi Stk,

Thanks for the info. It does look good with a lot of detail. Gotta remember the oldtimers.........

Good to once again see that MSFS jumpstarted a developer vocation. I hope he could make some partnership with knowledgeable guys on the engine and FDE sides. The artistry looks certainly top notch.

I went to refresh my memory about the bird and learned that it was also a bush plane ! Good to know…

Wing 42 was the top dog of vintage aircraft but sadly developer has been MIA for some time. I wish some other developers pick Wing 42 tab. Do not want to see another Carenado of vintage department beaty on outside hollow on inside 😞

I quite like the current one by AH, but I'm still interested. I'll wait for reviews.

 

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

The Aeroplane Heaven version released less than a year ago, so I would not be surprised if this fella had already started development on their one, especially as it seems to be a one man band. I can imagine it might be a tough call to scrap everything you've been working on, especially if you've done a lot of preparatory work too. And even more so if it's a plane they have a fondness for.

From the developer:

“About the aircraft…

I wouldn’t compare it to A2A or Black Square’s aircraft. The systems I have implemented are nowhere near as complex as theirs. To be honest, the actual aircraft doesn’t even have flaps.
All the instruments, work as expected in an aircraft like this but I have no under the hood temperatures damaging cylinders or pressure losses or similar features.

For a someone who looks for a hardcore simulation experience I might not have reached his expectations. If in the other hand he was looking for an Errol Flynn like Silver Screen experience…I hopefully might be closer…

I did read the comments about duplicated aircraft.

When the 4AT was released I had already spent a lot of time in the 5AT and, this being a personal project and a different version, I wasn’t going to stop making it. I also remember Taog releasing a video of another Ford Trimotor before that too.

It is inevitable that teams and individuals might start the same project based on personal preferences when they don’t know about each other. All you can do is try to do your best.”
