Sorry Av Angel Have to Correct you on the Aircraft not Indy Raiders of the Lost ark was actually Indy Jones and the Temple of Doom :P Fab video as always
I got the chance to sit in the copilot's seat on one of these a few years back. That cockpit view is a great replica. The sheer slowness and almost floatiness of the plane was very memorable- we had cars passing us on the highway below as we chugged our way through a headwind.
I have had the opportunity to fly in EAA's Tri-Motor, my father flew right seat. The sounds are actually very close from inside the cabin. The real one did have more throaty base, but the tone is almost spot onto the real plane. This developer is very approachable. He has already released his first update, and is working hard on further fixes. Same cannot be said for other developers. I have been having fun with this plane so far.
"Same cannot be said for other developers." Sure it can! Lot of devs update their aircraft all the time. In fact it is hard for me to keep up to date on all the changelogs out there on the aircraft I have. THIS guy has no track record, so saying that he is "working hard on further fixes" seems like you are close friends with him and not objective at all.
One of the big pluses for me is the autopilot. I emailed the developer and said he is working on sounds when you open the window. On his website under contact, he welcomes suggestions.
This plane looks amazing. High quality. Sounds great. But frankly, for $25... there are a lot of other options out there that will get a lot more flight time from me.
Movie aircraft? How about the C-82/Phoenix without a weak fuselage? Can you survive it? The Ford Trimotor was a frequently seen in the movies of that era. There was a Ford Trimotor in "Only Angels Have Wings". In that movie, Cary Grant's leather flight jacket and khaki pants were accessorized with a revolver pistol and the classic beat-up fedora. An outfit that would appear once again more than forty years later on Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. What I want to fly is a B-10 and P-26 in VR. In fact I would like to see a lot more biplane fighters and other aircraft from the thirties like, the Grumman F3F. In truth, I am biased on this subject as I have over fifteen hundred hours in the cockpit of Grumman biplanes. Then there is the deHavilland Dragon, Fox Moth and Tiger moth I enjoy flying. If one wants to call drifting lazily over the fields of England flying; "aviating" might be a better term for it. With all those moths, I bet there wasn't any cotton fabric left without holes in deHavilland hangers. Next on the list would be to see those damn wind turbines disappear. Those ugly protuberances, rising from the earth en mass, make for eyesores all over the planet. Talk about breaking the immersion. . .
I really like old "ratty" looking airplanes. This one looks amazing with good detail. The cockpit looks far better than the free one for sure. As far as the yoke removal, I don't see much of a gain of access by removing it. It doesn't look like it blocks very much of anything. Perhaps that's why they didn't bother including the option. One of my favorite ratty plane movies was Fandango. Those stunts were performed by stunt pilot Bill Warren. Those were real stunts with no CGI effects back then. th-cam.com/video/RBvWoT_s-R8/w-d-xo.html Although its a dated movie its still fun to watch. Thanks for posting this nice video 🙂
I skipped the Asobo one. This one I like. I’m not a purist so the option of a Garmin would be great. The option of an autopilot would also be welcome because I love looking around while flying.
beautifukl plane! Still a shame that a lot of devs underestimate the importance of good engine sounds. It so important foor good immersion. Oh well, maybe one day the quarter will drop :) I guess it isn't easy to find a person who can do a good job with the sounds either, never mind sourcing the sounds themselves!
I like this but don't think I'll be buying it for $30 USD. I think I'll just wait until the price comes down during a Marketplace sale. Until then, I'll just continue to fly the other Ford Trimotor which I already own and be content for now.
Agreed. The $30 price tag is going to keep me away. The free Trimotor might not be as good, but it gets the job done for me, and sounds way better. Even if we didn't already have that one, I'd never spend $30 on a Trimotor, but that's just me.
In that current state, I wouldn't even buy it. I've seen better planes for less than £10. Infact, the JPL Cessna 152 is free and that plane really feels alive. If it had better systems depth (breakers, engine performance, GPS, autopilot etc), improved sound quality (windows stuff etc) then it might be worth the £15 - £20 at a push.
When compared to the Asobo version,there is the question of price which makes a big difference to an "old guy" on a state pension and if I'm not mistaken,the Asobo sound pack is better.As to the raiders theme I have the hat and the jacket which is as far as I'm prepared to go,one small detail which looks wrong to me is here we have a Chinese airline sporting an American tail number, shum mishtake?........................................
Do most MSFS players like their old planes to be dirty, beat up, and looking like they are about to fall apart? Cause it seems that is what the plane developers think people want.
Not about to fall apart, but lived in yes. I'd rather a bush plane look worn and lived in, especially an old crate like this. Shiny and clean has its place just like old warhorse does.
@estsidedemon Part of the appeal of flying an old plane is to see what they looked like and how they worked when they were brand new. Obviously, in this game we can't change the time period of the world so we are limited that way but that's just a programming limitation with the game engine.
@@AvAngel Growing up, my dad restored classic cars. And he would spend lots of time and money ensuring that the car looked as close as factory fresh as possible. So, I just assumed that people who wanted to fly classic virtual planes would also want their virtual planes to appear factory fresh as well. But it seems that I'm in the minority here.
@estsidedemon I understand about the textures. My point was that no matter what plane you fly, you are always flying around a world that is set in 2024, with 2024 airports and cities. So you can't actually fly a 1930s plane using a 1930s version of the Earth. I would love for MSFS to have a button where you could load a world set in the 1930s, where you only had access to navigation tools that were present in the 1930s. So radio navigation instead of VORs and GPSs. Just for a new challenge.
@@Hedgehobbit Agree with you about excessive weathering. MSFS is a present-day simulator and it's more authentic to fly a modern, restored version as opposed to one caked in filth. The Lao Che Trimotor livery is sort of a special case - it's a match for the movie version. But overall I'd rather take better care of my tools, so to speak. I mostly fly the Flying Iron Spitfire in Bomber12th's clean restored paints, since WWII isn't going on outside my canopy. Of course, WWII aircraft tended not to get over-weathered since their service life wasn't particularly long - it could be measured in weeks. The taste for heavy weathering is something flight simmers share with the scale modeling community. Agree also it'd be great to have period airports and navaids of the kind that Cal Classics did for FSX. But flying in that environment, you'd want something relatively fresh from the factory, not a beater, right?
@@AvAngel I would say on the contrary but it's my word against your paid one. Wanna see what quality is... take a look at Heatblur's DCS F4 Phantom. 2024 quality not 2003 like in your movie. tldr both Ford trimotors are equal in quality the difference you see are just different takes but on same technical quality level.
We already have a trimotor. I don't understand why some studios keep copying planes from each other, it's not like we ran out of aircraft types produced from 1903 to this day. But no, here, have 8 F-14s, 18 phantoms, 59 A320s...
This is why I showed the other trimotor at the start. It's crap compared to this one. It's not copying, its doing better... a lot b etter. (there's sadly only one phantom) (Airbusses I agree on XD)
Oh there’s plenty of aircraft that have either never been done or not be done for this generation of msfs yet we get nothing but repeats of crap like the A320s
This was being developed before the AH one came out plus this is far better than the AH one on top of that it’s a 5AT unlike the AH 4AT. The 4AT has smaller engines and is smaller over all as well.
Wear and tear feels over the top and overly procedural. Looks like someone took a wire wheel to every edge in the cockpit. Why is the outside so filthy? In its day the Trimotor was a luxury airliner, today a prize museum piece. There is no situation where a trimotor should look like a flying junkyard.

Me loves it when you fly out of Bella Coola! Yes indeed, it is very coola!
Picked this up for 1935 world flights. Haven't done much with it yet but it is definitely better than the other Trimotor.
Docta Jones! ... No moar pawachutes!
The Aeroplane Hell version was free thankfully, but it also looks like it. This is much better for sure.
Honestly the 5at version is even better than asobo, had so much fun with it today
C-123 from Air America movie would be nice too.
ah, you got me with the indy reference before I could put it in!

The real planes don’t have autopilot or breakers
@@AvAngel It's a good job we're not flying real planes then XD
Unless you can jump out and ride an inflatable lifeboat down a mountainside, no sale. 😛

If they make the yoke visibility an option, then I will buy. Otherwise, not !
Pronounced 'Lau Chay' as in 'Nice try, Lao Che!' ... actually ... Lao is more like Loud without the 'd'

Technically, it’s a slightly different model of Tin Goose. Splitting hairs, but it is a separate Trimotor… 😁
The AH Trimotor was free when it first came out and even so, it was overpriced. Everything about it was junk.
This was being developed before the AH one came out plus this is far better than the AH one on top of that it’s a 5AT unlike the AH 4AT. The 4AT has smaller engines and is smaller over all as well.

This is just this one livery, which was made to mimic the movie plane. The other liveries are much cleaner on the outside
Just this livery is dirty like the movie
Very mediocre. Sad.
