The Glasair product line started in 1979 when Tom Hamilton first built the two seat Glasair TD.

The Glasair III is the latest addition to this family of aircraft and has the highest performance. With a solo climb rate of around 3000 ft/min and a top speed at sea level of around 300 mph/260 knots, this aircraft is a kit builders dream.

Thanks to Australian Simulation, you do not need to spend years building this airplane in your basement - instead you can order it on-line and fly it the same day, in either FS9 or FSX. Installation and Documentation The package comes as a 50 MB download (40 for FSX), and can be found. The auto-installer worked well on my FS9 system and installed three different paint schemes to choose from.

I did not test this airplane in FSX, but since it ships for both FS versions, the choice is up to you! Once installed, the airplane starts up in the 2D cockpit with the radio stack enlarged for better readability. As you can see, the cockpit is nicely laid out and is well equipped with a Sandel electronic HSI and two single height GPS / radio units.

Cockpit with Radio stack 2d cockpit HSI with map The documentation is one of the best features of this package - comprehensive and professionally put together. It includes a Flying Guide, a Pilots Operating Handbook, Checklists, and a Users Guide for the provided Aircraft Control Panel. If you want to get up and flying quickly, the Flying Guide will step you through all the procedures required to start up and fly this airplane, using a GPS controlled flight from Innisfail (Queensland, Australia) to Chillagoe (also in QLD). This is an excellent way of getting to know both the aircraft and the advanced instrumentation. Interior and Exterior Views The virtual cockpit is nicely finished and matches the 2D cockpit in every detail.

In addition, the VC provides handy access to the engine instruments, which are positioned to the right, beyond the radio stack and not readily visible in the 2D cockpit (although they can be popped up when needed). Iar For 8051 Keygen Generator. Virtual cockpit VC right All the gauges are custom made by Australian Simulation and by and large they are very good.

I especially liked the smooth instruments in the VC, something only a few add-on aircraft provide. The addition of the Sandel Electronic HSI is also welcome, but unfortunately not as well implemented as the other gauges. This is a very complex instrument and in an effort to include as much functionality as possible, the legibility has suffered. Even in it’s enlarged form, it is hard to discern all the information, and as the aircraft turns, the map and symbols float around making it even more of a challenge. Luckily, there is an excellent Sandel HSI available from Reality-XP ( www.reality-xp.com) and I found that adding the RXP Sandel, totally transforms this aircraft. In keeping with the “kit-built” theme of this airplane, I also tried replacing the GPS units (which are based on the Microsoft default GPS) with the RXP equivalents and ended up with a fabulous cockpit which I used for most of my testing.

Cockpit with RXP gauges RXP HSI VC with RXP gauges The exterior model is nicely detailed and gives a good representation of what a composite structure airplane looks like, with slightly curved shapes instead of the riveted aluminum skin that we know well from most general aviation aircraft. On the runway The interior of the cockpit is also well done, and it is a pleasure to pan around and look at the details. The design of the Glasair is quite modern, with a short stick for the flight controls and with all the switches nicely laid out and close at hand. What the engine controls lack in proximity, they make up for by being legible, even from a distance. Interior detail Flying The Glasair III This is where the real excitement begins, because this airplane comes with a lot of power in a very light airframe and the performance is nothing short of spectacular. Never having flown the real thing, I cannot say how close to reality the flight model is, but I can say that it handles very well and is a blast to fly.

With the great IFR instrumentation, this is an aircraft to take on cross-country flights and hone your navigational skills. The documentation is both complete and well written so you can get into this aircraft as deep as you like. The provided Aircraft Control Panel allows you to configure your airplane with a load editor, to choose texture sets and details like a clean or dirty windshield. It also provides for adjustments to the virtual head latency effect, which will move your head position in the virtual cockpit in response to g-forces, a nice feature! In Flight Sounds and Effects The sounds are well done and the pilot and co-pilot animation is worth a close-up look.

The pilot not only moves his head in flight, but also relieves his flying position by moving his right hand to scratch various parts of his anatomy. I tried to catch him putting his hand on his co-pilot’s knee, but that never happened while I was watching. All in all, a nicely finished package.

Pilot animation Summary This is a nice change from the many look-alike aircraft out there. A true high performance touring aircraft, which is fun to fly with the satisfaction of knowing that you could build one yourself, if you had the patience and the money. The cockpit instrumentation that is provided is complete and ambitious, especially the fully coded EHSI. If you are serious about this aircraft, I would highly recommend to go all the way and upgrade with Reality XP gauges, it makes a real difference.

Glasair III in flight. Australian Simulation Glasair III repaint Flash-Speed Version 1.0 December 2007 FS-X Version ONLY! (Although it could be converted to FS9 with knowledge of Photoshop.) This skin set is for the Australian Simulation Glasair III (www.aussim.com.au/glasair). It is a fictional paint scheme of a Glasair III.

The main theme idea was fostered from looking at other Glasair paint jobs to create my own. Baixar Filme Batman O Cavaleiro Das Trevas Ressurge Bluray 720p more. This paint was created using Australian Simulation's Glasair III paint kit with Photoshop.

INSTALLATION: 1.) Unzip to your Glasair III Airplanes folder, typically: C: Program Files Microsoft Games Microsoft Flight Simulator X SimObjects Airplanes Australian Simulation Glasair III (You will find a new folder called 'texture.N5P33D' go into that folder and make sure you are looking at.dds files and not another folder.) 2.) Run the Aircraft Control Panel and using the add texture wizard enter the following information: Title= Glasair III N5P33D Texture= N5P33D Variation= Flash-Speed Description= Glasair III N5P33D VisDam= As you wish. Attention FSX Acceleration users: I have modified the ASG_GLASS.dds file so that you may see outside the airplane when in VC. The only modification was the alpha channel was moved to a dark gray. You may need to recopy this file into the folder after adding the aircraft via the Aircraft Control Panel. IMPORTANT: You must use the Aircraft Control Panel software to add this texture, otherwise required texture files will not be loaded for this skin set.
