donnybalonny 46 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I was directed to Aeroplane heavens site, http://www.aeroplaneheaven.com/ and saw these 2 upcomming birds: A globe Swift and a DH Dove. Both look very interesting for those of us liking something different than the tubeliners, highwing Cessnas, lowwing Pipers and Beechcraft, and the other industry standards. The Swift is a must for me, bringing back good memories from fs2002/2004 where Bill Lyons creations were some of my favorites. The Swift was FUN. The Dove looks interesting and maybe one day. I like these medium/small twin workhorses. Good for flying short and medium range and with the engines sitting in a plave where they dont glock the forward-down view as on small twins.

mutley 4,487 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks for the link Anders I like the Dove so will be interested to see how good it really is. Looking further into the site confirmed my suspicions that they developed the awful Technam 2006 published by Wilco, the worst payware aircraft I have ever flown! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
donnybalonny 46 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yeah, I remember your Technam 2006 review. "they promissed us heaven and brought us hell" (or something like that.) On the other hand, Aeroplane Heaven (AH) have made the Justflight Chipmunk and their "legends of flight" series. Which have received very reviews on this site. I have the DC-3, which is good, but its under heavy competition from the Manfred Jahn C-47. The DC-6 is pretty good as well when you are in the mood for a heavy prop tube. The Chipmunk is a little gem. I like it a lot and its the small AC in my collections that gets most hours. AP is also develloping the Justflight Fokker Friendship, which IMO looks promissing. So, I take it as good news. A devellopper making "different" AC and not the usual stuff, and which IMHO have made good AC and which is getting better with each release. Another thing: I find it to be important that the smaller and not so well known devellopers are being reviewed. (AH, flysimware, wilco, Virtualcol etc.) and not just carenado and their brother in law. They are often so "politically correct" that i fall asleep or cant read the HSI without thick glasses. So if you are interested in the Dove, review it. I´ll read the review and behave. Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 But, but... where's the heads up guidance system, and the flight management computer, and the inertial reference system? And I didn't see any fly by wire. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 The Dove looks lovely...I want. I bought Flight Replica's dh114 Heron, and am enjoying it a lot. Looking forward to getting it's younger Older and smaller sibling. Link to post Share on other sites

J G 927 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I too like the look of the Dove, When it is released I will be looking at it very closely indeed. Link to post Share on other sites
