  • Yep as Moe said... lpv integration between the tds and g3x, shared flight plan variables between the two and drawing of the magenta line on the g3x from the tds 650xi 🙂 Here's a pic for proof hah

Analog panel? Yes please. I may finally buy a Vans.

I did the flight model testing, and I can tell you these guys did a killer job on this thing. It flies very close to the real thing, and they spent a lot of time on small details. Even though I essentially got it for free as a tester, I will still buy it to support them,

Since the RV-14 and RV-10 had working circuit breakers, is it safe to assume the RV-8 does too? I can see them in another cockpit view on Facebook.

I can check later tonight and let you know.

I hope they are still on track for tomorrow - 

 

• Taildragger and tricycle variants refined using 3D scanning

• 7 included custom liveries plus a white template

• 2 and 3-bladed propeller options with different response and separately recorded sounds from real RV-8s!

• Flight model created from recorded flight data, taken from a tester's own RV-8

• Analogue and G3X cockpit option

• GTN compatibility, with hot-swapping supported in the analogue variant (PC only)

• FPS friendly aerobatic smoke effect, by //42

• Paintkit in PSD, Blender and Substance formats and in-sim airframes to preview upon

The RV-8 will initially be available on SWS on August 1st for €14.99 and, as soon as it is cleared, on the MSFS Marketplace ($19.99) for PC & Xbox.

Feels much heavier than the RV-14 which can't be right.

The RV14 is a little too "light" in feel. IRL In the air, the 14 and the 8 feel about the same.

Hi Ryan, is the new G3X integration functional on this airplane?
