The Beaver flight model is really close to beta now, to be ripped apart by experts, virtual bush pilots and real world Beaver pilots. I hope it won't be too bad and I am sure it's not. Things are looking very good so far. The flight model for the Beaver is very tricky, and if you just go and use the flight manual and the numbers in it, you haven't done your homework. Sometimes things are a little different in the real aircraft and I am sure there will be comments from virtual pilots like "Yes, but the manual says it should be ..." Yes, the manual does, but not the living and breathing Beaver and she is my reference and so are comments and inputs from pilots flying her. The modernized Beaver 3D models are in a frozen state and so are the textures. A real Beaver sound recording session took place and animations and manipulators are on its way too. However, I won't talk about a release yet. I don't rush anything and this baby will be around for a long time, also after the release. My goal is not to develop aircraft after aircraft. My goal is to create the ultimate experience for the user for a certain aircraft and there are so many things besides releasing the aircraft itself. A release will be announced by me and then you know that it is around the corner.
