Well, yes . . . Actually.  I have.  Your eagle looks better than mine though.  I've also got a flock of geese in Vee formation.  I have a Killer Whale for cruising the waters too.  Cool that your Eagle stands on the ground like that.  I've got to get it.  Thanks.

Edit:  Got it.  Thanks again.  Now to see what it looks like in P3D.

From near Israel's Farm (WA56), flying to Concrete (3W5).








Cool!  8)

     It seems that I have to "throw it in the air like a dove" (slew mode) to take off.  The throttle won't cause me to move forward.  But once airborne, I cruise around at nearly 50 knots.  I can "flap the wings" by moving my throttle lever up and down.  Not sure if the throttle works, but full throttle lets me fly and zero throttle brings me down.  Tough to stick a landing, I found.  Much practice needed.  :P  The constant eagle cry is a just a little annoying after a few minutes.   :o  But I think that is just when the gear is down.   :-\

Macel,
looking at your screen shots, #2 and 3 have some serious problems scenery wise.  Those open squares are certainly not correct.

To get it going, you have to start your engine first (Contr. + E). Looks a bit weird with the smoke coming out... And then by giving throttle you're getting on the move. "/" for the wings to spread out and G for getting the legs and feet retracted.
Landing requires indeed very subtle movements and a real STOL landing after you stretched the legs out again. But you are a bush pilot, aren't you? I am not proud of my landings yet, but I'm coming close...

The scenery thing seems to be a 1 time incident. Everything looks now normal again.

Hi Marcel,
     Yes, I did start the engine.  I did get it to move forward a couple of times, but not always (maybe a P3D issue, or too much headwind).  I got the control instructions from the readme file, and can move the head, wings, and legs pretty good.  It's a beautiful model, and I like it alot.  Had a chuckle when the smoke puffed out.  Thanks for posting it.   8)

Ok, I give up!  What is a bigarg? ???  I've google'd it, attempted a translation, and coming up empty.  Is that a buzzard, like your avatar?  Color me confused.  Ok, well you did say it is a bird, of some kind. (funny and flying)

Perhaps "Pygargue" and not "Bigard"  ::)
