An initial grope into the world of Allison 501Ds has rendered this :xgrin: (Thank goodness for Viscounts :lol: ) but as a power plant it has to be applauded :welldone:

Won't pretend I knocked it up overnight , as I toyed with it a while ago.

The best model/sounds/fde to go with it is something more of a challenge :doh:

cheers

Its not too bad Garry... its flyable, and its a good effort from a development time I haven't come across before, so anyone new who produces something which I think is a quality bit of kit (certainly when you look at that abacus 787) should be applauded.

I'm not expert on the electra, but I suspect this one might be a bit spritely, and the ground handeling is a bit on the quick side, but all that said on my short flight from Prestwick to Liverpool i thought it rather good. I'm not a massive fan of the panel, but as I said, I really like this. :thumbsup:

Also worth mentioning frame rate, flying over the lakes I was getting 120 FPS, with the full Horizon GenX. Now thats rather good :xgrin:
