First of all huge thanks to Parallel 42 for giving me the opportunity to try out this magnificent aeroplane. They have an uncanny knack of pulling off the incredible with their products, the little details that delight, and they've done it again!
On this flight we walk through the main features of the FreedomFox as it appears in sim and go for a flight into the bush to see what it can do.
Parallel 42, famous for their immersion products, the incomparable Chaseplane and the incredibly imaginative and inventive Skypark have without a doubt pulled off another masterpiece here.
Along with GotGravel, who created the flight model, and Trent Palmer himself, who tested the model in the sim, they have created something spectacular and perfect for exploring this beautiful MSFS2020 world.
FreedomFox is available in Orbx Central initially and will be coming to Marketplace and Xbox when possible. orbxdirect.com...

Awesome review!
Awesome aeroplane sir! Thanks so much!
A wonderful video for a very fun looking aircraft! 70 kts is a bit below my ideal flight speed. Perfect for real life but a bit slow for me in the sim. Thanks for making such a lovely video about the Fox!
Thanks! She’ll do more than 70kts by the way, and can land anywhere you want to set her down lol
Nice review, recently got into MSFS and I had to buy it!
Many thanks! Hope you enjoy it!
Very nice video. I love your way to show the plane to us. You fly it really well. I was so anxious to see the release of that plane on FS2020! Finally it is there! Hope Parallel 42 will soon organize STOL contest, Drag STOL races and river bars landings, with water skying... !
Hey thanks so much!
Really enjoyable video and such a great intro to the Parallel 42 Freedomfox/kitfox. Such a cool aircraft and great its arrived in MSFS2020 in such fun, style, form and accuracy. I'm definitely going shopping for a new aircraft for the Hangar ;)
Many thanks! It is certainly bags of fun, perfect for bush flying in the Lake District and the Highlands! 👍🏻
Thanks for a great video my favourite tiype of aircraft and may I wish you and yours a very Happy Chritmas
Thanks so much Gary, hope you and family have a wonderful Christmas sir 🎄
Thank you for the video I absolutely adore these aircraft. Next to the beloved Zenith this is a great ship to fly.
Thank you for watching! Yes it’s a beauty isn’t it. Great fun!
Ok you've convinced me! Great video.
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it! 🦊
This aircraft makes me wonder if there should virtual STOL contests? Could be interesting as well as entertaining.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if Parallel 42 don't bring something into the Skypark to cover that.
The Bush League Legends group has had some as well as the Bushrats group. Wouldn't surprise me if the Bushdivers group have done some as well. An actual version of the High Sierra Stol drags or Arkanstol brought in by Asobo like the Reno air races would be pretty awesome.
Good one mate! Thanks for the vid.
Hey many thanks! 🍻
Excelkent rewiew, thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍
Many thanks!!!!
"Flaparge" is the official technical term hehe. Great video mate, lovely looking aircraft, just a shame it's not steam gauges but has to be authentic to the real world aircraft. Good stuff mate, have a great day.
Got to be all official like with the verbiage right? lol Many thanks and have a goodun mate!
Got off the ground really quick. Thought it was a helicopter for a second!
Having seen Trent do that kind of take off in the real thing it's a real kick that you can do it in the sim!
I love this plane 😍
It’s a beauty for sure!
fantastic rob. you must have ad a late night editing to get this out.
Thank you mate, was well worth it for this beautiful aircraft. You must have had a blast all the hours you’ve put into it!
how do you trim the aircraft in real life in this plane? is it on the stick or?
I seem to remember in this particular one it is controlled by the hat switch on top of the stick.
29:40 try the map replacement mod with the apple maps server, it’s even better!!
Left your fuel pump on make sure to turn it off once stable after start
Yes well spotted
How did you turn on the avonics cause I cant seem to turn them on.
You should be able to turn them on using the avionics switch on the lower left of the panel. If this isn’t working might be worth you checking in on their Discord as could be a tech issue.
Quick one, does the he aircraft have persistent states and maintenance? Like does it stay the same way as when you leave it? Thanks.
Not at this time.
Nice, so it could possibly be added in the future? Not sure if it's even a possibility at this time.
@@brunoguerra6085 really don’t know. I do know that, as they did with Skypark, that are the kind of developer that is always looking to add and improve so who knows 👍🏻
@@Dreamsofwings Thanks for the quick reply/feedback. Much appreciated.
my pleasure, thanks for watching :)
Is that a notebook by your left foot ? That looked like a clickspot when you were starting up ?
Yes at the moment it comes up with a notebook on the passenger seat that has a list of credits. I imagine very soon it will provide other cool things!
hello again, I've just bought this from the MS Store and cannot for the life of me figure out how to open the Mod Manager... any ideas?
Hello there! Hope all is good with you. Thanks for getting me into Pilot2ATC!
You should have a FreedomFox Mod Manager on your desktop. The icon is one of the bush tyres.
@@Dreamsofwings I had a break, recently bought a Reverb G2 VR headset and a new GPU and am blown away by how much fun I'm having in the Fox and the Hellcat.. I don't think I can go back to 2d again, help! Thanks for your advice, I don't have that icon, must be an MS Store issue. I'll check with P42, thank you. Hope you are well..
Where can i get the scenery pack where you took off from ?
Loved the review !
Hey many thanks!, this is the Reno Stead Airport that comes with the Reno Races pack.
Is it possible to get it or buy it to use in MSFS 2020 ?
yes this is for MSFS2020 but if you are using the Xbox version it isn't ready just yet but WILL be coming to Xbox
Does Fox 2 not have synthetic vision?
Not flown Fox 2 yet but it has same avionics as FreedomFox as far as I am aware.
@@Dreamsofwings Thanks, the reason I was asking is because mine does not have synthetic vision for some reason. I went to the parallel 42 Discord channel and asked around, and everybody says it should. Mine for some reason doesn’t. Although the freedom fox does. Weird.
That is strange..if you haven’t already try verifying files in Orbx Central. Failing that maybe raise a ticket on their website. I’m not sure why it would be working in one and not the other
@@AV8R_1 mine doesn't too :(
How do I get that mod manager?
It comes with the aircraft so you should see it as an icon on your desktop or look for it in the installation folder.
@@Dreamsofwings There is no desk icon and I've searched the official file. Nada.
@@StrGzr101 ok mine is in c:/Program Files\Parallel 42\FreedomFox\p42-mod-manager If you haven’t got that might be worth you going over the to the //42 Discord
@@Dreamsofwings Searching now. I'll let you know.
@@Dreamsofwings I searched the whole drive. It's not there. Maybe they just don't offer it anymore. Anyway, thanks for trying to help.
What ? A bush plane with an autopilot ? You can't do that !!! (looks around to make sure nobody is watching, starts giggling and rubbing hands together and muttering 'come to papa' ...)
Lol I know exactly what mean. Does make this perfect for short bush hops but also longer trips with a bit of hands off stick time too if you wanted to. Trent knows his stuff lol
Zenith CH701 with Tru Trak auto pilot 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/-s-AhESQ_5o/v-deo.html
Looks great. Ironic, as they also released SkyPark, which is one of the most overrated apps in the SIM.
I think it depends on what you are into. I think for some the Skypark is probably quite useful and gives them a real purpose to fly plus future developments. It wouldn't surprise me if we see some FreedomFox events coming into it.
@@Dreamsofwings It not a 'bad' add-on, intrinsically. It's just had next to no updates (at least meaningful ones) and isn't cheap for what it is. It just looks pretty. NeoFly absolutely destroys it in almost every way.
@@Stwutter1973 I like Skypark and NF .. slightly different user experiences .. but when NF release their new UI early in 2022 //42’s Skypark needs to be very nervous! 😉
@@S0L0D0G I agree that the UI is where NF lags a bit - but that's it IMO - it just offers so much more depth. You can also use it free, and it still gives you more than SkyPark - and the add-ons/updates are frequent. The dev. is a great guy too.
