  1. I have to admit that I didn't notice that the forum had been closed and reopened. I used to come here every day a few yars ago, and would fly multiplayer on occasion. I was looking forward to Emma X, as it was promised to be "coming soon", as previously mentioned by someone, and then it never got here. That torqued me off a bit, and then I discovered Blender 3D, a free CGI program that dragged me away from Simming for quite a while. I only recently started flying again, and decided to check out the forum. I see that Emma X is no closer to reality than it was a few years ago, which is, really, unbelieveable. So, there isn't much reason to come here any more, I guess.

    And that's a shame.

  2. I just downloaded and flew the fix to the shaking and trim that is posted in the Aerosoft forum...

    FIXED!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Flies like a dream, IMHO. There is also a replacement texture for those who didn't like the green tinted windows.

    Now that's what I call service! Try to find that at that *other* company.

  3. Hi Rich and Carlos!

    Hope to get back to a little on-line flying one of these days...can't say when. .. :lol:

    Carlos, did you fix your computer problem?

    Rich, glad you like the Emeraude. I plan on making the seat a little more cushy pretty soon! Meanwhile, would you possibly have some close up pix of your cockpit placards? They would be a lot easier than having to re-make them myself, plus the fact that I can't read the smaller ones in the shots I have. Thanx. E-mail adress is:

    Thanx!! :mrgreen:

  4. Hi Johan,

    The Zodiac is powered normally by a Rotax 912 100HP, giving a cruise in the 120kt range. It was designed specifically to meet the new Sport Pilot/Light Sport Aircraft rule which will be effective on Sep 1. You can check out the rule at: http://www.sportpilot.org/index.html

    You can check out the Zodiac at: http://www.zenithair.com

    It will still be a year or two before I am in a really good position to buy the kit, but that will give me plenty of time to do all the research I need to do on all the FAA requirements during the build, inspections, etc. Also, to finally get my pilot's license! 8)

    Happy flying!

    Russ

  5. Hello Lancair,

    Looks like it came out pretty good! Hope you are still enjoying it!

    The things I like about the Zodiac are:

    1) All metal, modular construction with NO driven rivets. All blinds.

    2) Claimed build time of about 500 hours

    3) The damn thing just looks good!! 8)

    A little cheaper than a Lancair too, I think...

    Russ

  6. Hi Rich,

    Yeah, it would be a lot cheaper, but I've had the dream of building my own airplane for as long as I can remember, but never thought I would ever get to do it. Now a lot of things are falling into place that make it look like I may actually be able to do it in a year or two. Wish me luck! :lol:

    I'll be gettting back to the FS Emeraude after the initial excitement dies down...

    Later...

  8. Hi guys,

    Sorry, I've been a little under the weather lately. That coupled with my excitement about the Sport Pilot rule and I haven't been doing much Sim stuff of late.

    I've been researching aircraft kits and have pretty much decided on the Zenith Zodiac CH601XL. Check it out at:

    http://www.zenithair.com

    Seems like quite a ship! They have a FS model of it that you can download, and I have been flying that whenever I have a few minutes of sim time. I should be back working on the Emeraude in a few weeks.

    Thanks for the interest.

    Russ

    PS Kinda reminds you of an Emeraude, doesn't it? All metal construction, though...
