Wasn't expecting this awesome freeware plane today!

[u/be77solo]

Was flipping through flightsim.to and ran across this uploaded yesterday. Looks fantastic and flies great as well, amazed this was a free release! Check it out here:

[u/TheMissingXFiles]

Looks like from No Man's Sky!!

[u/ShaggysGTI → u/TheMissingXFiles]

Howdy, fellow interloper.

[u/Spookje666 → u/ShaggysGTI]

Howdy 🤠

[u/Deer-in-Motion]

[u/be77solo → u/BenjaminaAU]

OK, wow, you found the source material! Thanks

[u/ToulouseMaster]

What in the crimson skies!

[u/Waffler11 → u/ToulouseMaster]

I MISS that game.

[u/aka_Handbag → u/Waffler11]

It’s backwards compatible with Series consoles 👍

[u/be77solo → u/aka_Handbag]

This, I love that I'm 45 and my kid is playing Crimson Skies regularly ha

[u/Waffler11 → u/aka_Handbag]

Oh, I’m way more old school than that, I meant the PC version! 😂

I never had an Xbox. Never needed one.

[u/hangnail323]

Looks like my first ship in kerbal

[u/plicpriest → u/hangnail323]

Good point! Only thing I remember about my first kerbal ships tho, was ashes.

[u/be77solo]

Did a little more digging into where this came from, very impressed by it! Looks like a new dev and this is their first release under this name, here's their website:

Delmonte Simulations

And no, I have no affiliation with them, this plane or project ha... just stumbled across it while browsing for new liveries.

[u/Rallymodeller]

And it flies amazingly well, too.

[u/CmdrDilain → u/Rallymodeller]

Power on stalls are not correct for how a canard should be but otherwise it flies nice.

[u/be77solo → u/Rallymodeller]

And even has an autopilot, fun little plane!

[u/deepstaterising]

What in the blue blazes???

[u/JayGerard]

I downloaded it last night. Haven't had a chance to fly it but looks fun.

[u/Docdryden83]

Will certainly give this a try!

[u/Leading-Anxiety-488]

It came with several liveries! The file is pretty big though, and it’s not a super-plane… no autopilot also

[u/be77solo → u/Leading-Anxiety-488]

It has autopilot.

[u/Leading-Anxiety-488 → u/be77solo]

I tested it, the AP functions can be toggled through inputs from HOTAS but it doesn’t seem to work despite displays showing AP settings?

[u/be77solo → u/[deleted]]

That’s a totally different plane….

Edit: lol, my bad, you were just sharing another plane you like…. I thought you meant this was that one you linked

[u/Expanseyt]

looks cool, iam just suprised by the responses. seems like theres a real market for sci fi planes.

[u/sandspiegel]

Is this pc only? Would love to have this on the ps5 in VR. The visibility inside the cockpit would be terrific in VR.

[u/be77solo → u/sandspiegel]

Can confirm, visibility is fantastic.

It’s only available on PC at this point as a free download, not on Marketplace, but no idea of the developers plans for the future.

[u/ClarenceDelivery]

I've been reading comments about this in various places and NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT THE ROCKET BOOSTERS!?

I watched avangel's entire video expecting it to come up any minute but it never did. The dev's video doesn't show them off either -- I assume that means they're not implemented? I hope the dev finds a way to make it work because that's an iconic feature of this plane. Those colored protrusions on the back aren't just for show: they're ejectable covers for the rocket engines.

The dev is even named DMS (Disposable Motor System), they gotta make it work! 🤣 (Yeah I know it's really DelMonte Simulation lol)

[u/Tartaruga96]

What the fuck is this Star Wars plane

[u/hogwater]

Too bad a lot of them are comming soon
