    hm the Fokker Friendship doesn't have a free trial like the other aircraft have had.

Flying gliders since 1980

Flightsimming since 1992

AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

Hmmm, did they get the RR Dart sounds right?, Inibuilds also built the YS-11, but RR Dart exterior engine sounds are bad, like a Beechcraft.

 

Apart from the possibility of installing in Xbox and PS5, what will this offer that the Benoit Gaurant version won't?

See if you can tell the difference:

I rewatched the show stream and apparantly this one is made by Inibuilds. 

Appreciated this news update. So, iniBuilds is developing this one…

The JF F-27 in our earlier SIMs was one of my favorites (JF had nicely simulated several basic variants of this classic airliner).

When the (old) saying was, “The only replacement for a DC-3 is another DC-3.”, this one came, as one of the most successful European turboprops of the era, from the house of the Flying Dutchman. I’ve a lot of respect for this one. I’ll look forward to flying it in MSFS. 

I do not (cannot) have the freeware BGaurant version.

Hi:

Yes, that’s good to know.

The iniBuilds name appears at the start of OP’s video too..

Cheers…!

Once again though, spoilt by the default Propeller strobe / stutter that looks terrible, along with the annoying flickery shadows the props produce.
Honestly, I don't know why Asobo and partners cannot see this.  After all the work they do, it makes this 'cutting edge' 2026 simulator look like something from the 90's.

Carenado seem to be able to do props right without this ridiculous strobe effect, so why can't anybody else?

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

😳... and it right there in the middle screen... i need to get myself new glasses 😋

So, both the Famous Flyer and the Local Legend series of aircraft, are sponsored and published by Microsoft/Asobo.

I’m a bit weary of the Famous Flyers, after the B707 debacle, with apparently some serious quality-control issues there…

The Local Legends seem better. Anyway, owning and flying most of the iniBuilds a/c in MSFS, from their tiny propliners to the A350 airliner, I have a fair idea…🙂

This (iniBuilds) F-27 will be a nice add-on to fly in MSFS, similar to their YS-11, which I enjoy.

Let’s see…

Good news if it!s done well.

It happens to me even with my new glasses…

I’ve been (unceremoniously) told that I’m done with glasses, so, other avenues of remedy are now due…🙂

For 2020 users it looks like only a single blank white livery is included based on what I'm seeing in that Marketplace. Not sure what else is changed or degraded for that sim, but it seems to be oriented mostly to the 2024 audience. Inibuilds has failed to follow up on a number of issues with the YS-11, notably a significant geometry / LOD "gap" that appears when the main cabin entry door is open (opposite of the door), so I'm hoping they did a better job with the Fokker, and that 2020 users will get the featured liveries.
