Flysimware Lancair Legacy

Featured Replies

I didn't see any topic here yet for it, so figured I'd start one!

Looks like FSW's Lancair Legacy is coming along pretty dang nicely.  I've been patiently hoping someone would finally make one ever since the RealAir days back in FSX...

Turbocharged variant, naturally aspirated variant, and my favorite, the Starhawk variant which recreates Valin Thorn's Lindy-winning Legacy.  Apparently Andrew Findlay's crazy-modified race Legacy that he flies at Reno is to come as an additional variant as well

I think @ryanbatc and I will be glued to the computer for a loooong time when it releases 😁

In the red corner, FSW, in the blue corner A2A 🥊🥊

Was always a bit afraid to climb into a Lancair IRL, but she sure is a looker. This will be a real treat!

A looker indeed!  Always a treat to see (and hear!) them every summer in the AirVenture Cup Race.  Oh how some of those modified ones make the most unholiest of sounds as they scream past 😄

Looking forward to it! Great work from the FSW team!

'A' stood for altimeter. It told how high a man flew. 'B' stood for boost. It told the power in the engines. 'C' stood for compass. It told which direction a man was proceeding. It was delightfully simple.

I think this one is gonna take the cake for me personally.  I'm a sucker for having variants, so I'll be like a kid in a candy shop, lol. The Starhawk one will be nice for when I want to be a child of the magenta 😂

What are those red things sticking out of the wing?

This is the one I'll be going for. (At least first. Being a sucker I'll probably end up buying them both!).

Don't get me wrong, I love A2A. But this one has the specs that appeal to me more and I think FSW are slightly winning on texture quality (I'm thinking FSW C24R, which is the most photographic-looking, stunning VC I've seen in GA, versus the A2A Aerostar's textures, which are nice but not quite up there).

Yep.  Fitted to a number of high performance singles (Legacies, Cessna Corvalis, some Vans aircraft, etc).

It's a plane you wear hehe.  I've sat in a few and it was truly like I was trying on a new pair of pants haha.

They are so beautiful and sleek.

FSW is doing multiple variants including turbocharged ones with analog and glass panels.  

So it's honestly a dream come true that A2A and FSW are doing this aircraft...it's my ALL TIME fav.  I beta tested the Realair and Aerobask (XP) versions back in the day.

I cannot wait to paint both of these!!

That's music to my ears! A2A seem to be allergic to turbocharged GA planes.
