The Aerospool Dynamic by Lionheart


Avionics Dynon, Garmin SL-30 nav/comm transceiver and the nav system is an EKP-IV.

FS9 and FSX. A  modern light aircraft, a tow airplane, with latest composite material technology. Despite a max cruise speed of 138 mph, this WT-9 Dynamic gives a lot of pleasure, especially over high definition textures sceneries, where you can enjoy the simple joy of a short restful flight../.

The WT-9 can be taken easily in hand. You start your flight engine on and ready to take-off if you'r a rookie. As usual with William Ortis developments, a window can pop-up and gives you many options to open/close canopy, engine, wings etc.



Installation process ;

The downloaded file has 185 mb. Personally, i didn't find my aircraft the first time. After 10 min, i understood that it was necessary to set the proper path Program Files (x86) otherless, the aircraft is installed in the old program files. I also needed 10 more mn to discover that the manual was only available during the flight... Not really pertinent choices here.

After several flights over Vashon field, WA and Liverpool UK, i really liked it. Except a problem with the rudder frozing after a few minutes (no, eventually it was my fault, toggling the wrong button), there are no bad surprises and everything is responding properly. The sounds are great (especially the landing gear). About the canopy, i suspect William Ortis didn't get the proper bump and specular effects so he didn't change anything. As a result, it's just a bit too dark blue. These specular effects on the Epic Victory were not really effective...
 The aircraft is installed with approximately 25 different liveries and for the the first time, you can choose a blondette pilot. I still need to explore the aircraft (and the blondette ?) According to William Ortis - in his last communications - the aircraft's engine has been extensively simulated from screws and bolts to the carburetors...


Vashon airfield, Washington (OrBx Freeware). Last checks before take-off...

The Aeropool WT-9 has an other interest. This aircraft looks like the Lancair and has the same fast reflexs. It's a nice toy to learn flying. It can take-off from a 640 feet runway length.

What about the price ? 21 euros / 24 dollars is the average price for a general aviation aircraft. But here, you just have a single version (FS9 or FSX). Note that two others light aircrafts are to be released in a few hours ; Aerosoft Katana and Dimona. It's interesting to wait and compare... The freelancers who developed the Katana and the Dimona have insisted on a lot of details too. What we are watching here is a whole new generation of aircraft simulation : not only wings, rudders and flaps. We are talking about engine components, hydraulic, pneumatic functionnalities...

I also wrote another post on the Aerospool. You can find it by looking for "Let the battle of light aircrafts begin".
There is some medias about Aerospool, a slovakian manufacturer who is also designing gliders.
