M.I.B. 39 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm mostly into heavy metal, long IFRs, I rarely buy light prop simulations (but that's not to say I don't like lite birds!!). Some o' my spotting pals thought of something totally different for my b-day present - yep, a bugger, payware of course - Carenado C152. I was surprised to see that I actually LIKE it, few lite FS birds have made me felt like I was riding the real deal, this is among them! Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,316 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Happy Birthday Dorel. You have some great friends there. It's a great plane as long as your passengers aren't overweight. This was one of my favorite planes(freeware version) for finding Ant's Aussie Airports, flies great and fits in those small strips. Enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites
M.I.B. 39 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thanks Brett! I'll take care the overweighties are the "engines" of the craft during takeoff roll until they're no heavier than the passenger MTOW and be allowed to fly . As for the spotting pals, yeah we kinda made a habit out of this FS present thingie on B-day among ourselves..but I'm slick - when their B-days come, I'll buy them a plush pig...WHAT?? It IS an FS present, the plush pig will keep them company while simming BTW, I had one of these (nicer tho) when I was a meter tall, lost it Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yeah Happy Birthday Dorel. Nice present too. It makes a change to fly low and slow. Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Apologies for my late birthday wishes Dorel, it's great to hear you enjoyed the experience of flying the 172! Cheers, Joe Link to post Share on other sites
M.I.B. 39 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 No worries Mut, thank you so much everyone! When I need an FS bugger, I usually search for a good freeware, n I can live with it. But now I sure forgot how utterly different it feels like to fly a high end payware replica of a light bird! The last payware GA I bought was Carenado's C210 Centurion - flew it for a few days and then it started collecting dust..a superb simulation but it wasn't really my taste, I was just navigating through that list on their website in a hurry, and I came across the C210 and its retractable gear and POOF, clicked the "burn u'r cash" button, stupid move. And since there was never a real love between me and that C210 I canalized all my FS funds in acquiring heavies, thinking that it's worthless to burn any more money on payware buggers, now my pals proved my I just have to choose carefully, and so I will from now on! I still have the C210, I'd like to swap it for a C337 Skymaster, dunno how legal that is . Now just let the money flow 'cuz now I know what I really like, till then, this C152's gonna entertain me big time...if heavies allow of course! Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,316 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 It's moniker really fits. Judging from my sim rotor flying, I would be afraid to take it for a spin. Link to post Share on other sites
