FSX/P3D Edgley Optica

I've always wanted to know what is like to fly in this plane! My only criticism is trying to access the GPS, the usual keyboard combination doesn't work. But you can't knock the workmanship or the price!

I can't get it to start, please help me.

After a few seconds I start the plane, the simulator crashes.

Everything works on the Edgley Optica except I can't find where to switch from NAV to GPS (toggle). Default N doesn't work.

Very nice addon! Almost as well put together as a payware addon. The command keys could use some work. the top 1-9 & 0 keys do absolutely nothing even though they should bring up things like GPS, radio stack, throttle panel, etc.

Interior VC GPS is a nice touch but impossible to see when zoomed out to pilot eyesight level & has trouble zooming back in after zooming out. Other than that one issue I love this addon.

A unique & pretty easy & fun to fly aircraft. Install went smoothly with no issues, unlike other freeware add-ons that don't seem to be filed properly which makes for a very troublesome install.

Anyone having trouble installing just remember; install it in FSX/simobjects/aircraft & not to the main FSX game file or it won't install to the aircraft selection menu. Some add-on developers don't seem to set up the files properly so that it does this.

I actually had to go in & fix all the files of an addon to get it to work one time because the files within the addon were all zip compressed.

Does anybody else have an issue with the aircraft pitching up severely on take-off? Even trimming the elevators full nose down has failed to resolve the issue.

I've flown this plane from the beginning, and l love it. But... Have just upgraded to P3v4.5 and disaster... It won't work. In fact, it crashes the flight sim. So, could somebody update it, please?

This is a fun and unusual aircraft, but I found it hard to fly. Extremely difficult to trim out for level flight, and easy to stall. It stalls at about 80 kts even with full flaps. It's not a plane I'd want to fly in real life.

can you create a program fsx work like p3d without stopping or crashing... can you create a add on original DC-3 from FSX for Prepar3D v4 also P-51 for P3D regards

why is this listed in the 20 best freeware *HELICOPTERS*, its CLEARLY NOT a helicopter

I wanted to build a R.C. version of this unusual aircraft when it was first released, but never got around to it! I am now , 80 years old, so I can at least now 'fly' the sim version thanks.

it is not installing. why?

Remember seeing these flying around Hampshire UK. Love this aircraft, such a joy to fly, fantastic job, thankyou.

Fun plane to fly. It gives you the effect of flying a helicopter, but is a whole lot easier to control than a chopper.

It's a bit of fun.

I found the first cockpit view showed only the GPS unit whilst the second view of the cockpit added light and fuel pump switches. Other than that I couldn't coerce any others to appear.

Sorry, it does have a compass hanging off the windscreen strut - which turned out to be handy on my first (and only, so far) flight. A long flight might not be on my agenda for the foreseeable future unless I can find an altimeter somewhere in the glove box.

Any old how, as I said at the beginning, it's a bit of fun.

I've always dreamed about flying this one in a flight sim, to thank you very much! It's awesome! :D

Thank you for all of the time you put into this. The 3d modelling is very nice.

This is a very nice aircraft, but sadly enough that the autopilot, and heading panel is very small.You have to challenge to adjust the altitude, or heading. Also at night this panel is totally dark, and you can not do anything. I wished that they were thinking about making the panel bigger, and also illuminated at night.
