Just got round to installing my latest purchase - the new PiperSport LSA from Alabeo.

If you've bought anything from these guys before you know what to expect... Top notch 3D modelling and textures, didn't notice anything immediately wrong with the flight model (but wow, it took off quick!). Also features RXP GNS530 integration in FSX. As usual for Alabeo, very competetively priced. First impressions are a a pretty nice and fun little aeroplane for FSX/P3D.

Cheers cheers

Both sims are running with FS Global 2010, FTX Global Base, FTX Global Vector, and SceneryTech Landclass standing in until FTX OpenLC is released. Sky/water/cloud textures are REX4 Texture Direct, weather is ActiveSky Next.

The first seven shots (P3D2) are in the UK (Kent), and the second seven shots (FSX) are out of Half Moon Bay in the San Francisco area. The FSX shots also have Shade and SweetFX running as well to enhance the lighting above FSX's pretty drab default.

I've not got round to installing the Orbx FTX regions yet, but when I do the areas in these screenshots will be considerably more accurate.

Great shots! 1,2 + 3 are stunning!

Looks like a fun little plane. I dont have it yet, but it may be my next purchase.

Cheers guys. At just 22.95 of your American Dollars it's very nicely priced. Even more so given the very favourable Sterling exchange rate at the moment! I couldn't say no....

Probably my favourite Alabeo yet. Ideal for cruising around and checking out all the great scenery Orbx are pumping out right now.


Happy Easter!
