I was wondering what Ant was working on just yesterday and this answers that! Looks like fun, I had several of his FSX aircraft and they were wonderful. He is also very supportive and answers any questions very quickly.
Oh my god girl you’re killing me with these reveals. Just one more of my favorite airplanes after another! I emailed them months ago to ask them if they were going to make this for MSFS, and didn’t get a reply. I am so stoked about this. I’ve been trying to get different developers to make a quicksilver MX for well over a decade, and this aircraft was the closest I could get to an ultralight with a wire braced high-dihedral wing. I loved it for FSX, and I will probably fly it almost daily for the new simulator!!!
@@jamesordwayultralightpilot I’ve been asking modelers for over a decade. It’s not likely, unfortunately. Closest thing I could find besides the Aerolite 103 is the Austflight Drifter.
I am disappointed that we don't have a payware Tiger in MSFS2020 - nor currently a DC3/C47 but it is good to see that the jet jockeys, although many enthusiasts and developers seem to gravitate to them, don't have a monopoly. Real flying, it has been said, is getting down in the weeds, or words to that effect. I appreciate all forms of aviation but low and slow and "seat of your pants" is really where the most fun is.
Nice review.love the idea of touring in this Deffo looks like the best ultralight in the sim. Excellent This will be in my hanger by the end of the day.
Very many thanks for the heads up on this one! I downloaded the free trial version earlier and enjoyed a superb 'low & slow' flight around the Channel Islands. Tomorrow I shall be buying the full version to replace the Aerolite 103 which sadly doesn't fly any more after recent sim updates and the developers of which have gone AWOL! Thanks again.
Great review! Had quite a few of Ant's FSX planes, as well as much of his freeware scenery back in the day! This looks really great! Hope he does the Trojan and the Technam...
Nice review. Deffo looks like the best ultralight in the sim. If you want to completely lose the reflections, turning your cockpit glass settings down should do it.
Looks fun for VR! I definitely I enjoy your reviews. Also weird question. I just recently got into iRacing and I'm pretty sure I heard you commentating for some skip barber race a few years back when I was looking at old videos. Was that you or am I crazy?
You should experience significant P-factor torque on take off until you get enough speed for good rudder authority. We culled them flying lawn chairs. You would have more boat around you in a canoe than you do airplane in the typical old school type ultralight. Nice video! Sincerely, Adam 100+ hrs. Quicksilver MX2A 100+ hrs. KOLB original Firestar
I wish addon devs would just use the default pilots, instead of assuming my pilot. Most custom pilot models look weird, we have ingame pilot and copilot, let us use them please.
Anthony has always been one of my favourite developer in the past. Happy to see that he finally decided to make a MSFS version of his aircrafts. I would have preferred a new Tecnam Sierra, but ... this is also interessant. Such aircrafts are gorgeous for MSFS VFR flights. A shame that this is an only australian LSA aircraft, never seen it in another country. From the video I don't understand if the quality of textures are at MSFS standards ( pilots don't seems particularly well made) but however is a "welcome" for this brave and serious developer.
Would you say this was less tricky to take off in than the Top Rudder Solo 103? It's easy for me to get in trouble and stall out right after takeoff in the Top Rudder, and that can be part of the fun sometimes but I think I do have room in my hangar for another ultralight that's slightly more forgiving.
flight crew, plastic or stoned? got into microlights in 2020 already have two in my hanger. might be temptation if it makes it over to the xbox side. i am also hoping that azurpoly will twist your arm and offer you a copy of there upcoming Fouga CM170 Magister. i know your not a "jet girl" but it does look interesting
@@AvAngel to many youtubers claim too be experts on all of aviation. in my view your honest to the point reviews are just what is needed. we dont need to know the history of the aircraft, what every dial means or a music soundtrack when it gets into the air. A quick looks see, circuit with the odd roll and handling approach. see if its worth the cash and if it is let us find all the fun stuff at our leisure.
@@AvAngel I have a question, why don’t yah do VR? I see yah on here with head tracking etc.. but once u VR a flight it’s hard to go back to flatscreen. I’ve been simming for yrs in VR.
No chance... I own VR, I tried using it a few times, biggest reason is the performance suck up, second is outside cockpit stuff... Accessing my ipad for navigation or information, drinking tea... looking at something else... interfering with my mic setup or checking recording status etc. Too much to do OUTSIDE the plane to use vr. Headtracking is a nice compromise honestly, i don't 'need' the full on immersion to be happy myself, and i have to compromise for recording.
@@AvAngel there is ways u can do stuff in VR. Nav info etc VR flight sim Guy has used an add on for loads of stuff when in VR. Am sure the add on also let’s u view ur pc desktop etc in VR. Haven’t tried it yet, not been on MSFS2020 or a pc from summer last yr. But will be on again when I grab a 3090TI If I can.. What headset u own?, btw ur videos are great without VR.. Well done for them plus ur funny expressions of dodgy pilots :D
Great video and got the Ultralight too. I do miss lights on it and no ambient sound with internal view what should be like the external view with a total cockpit. Love it above my favorite spot in the sim ua-cam.com/video/wXyBj5a3WBM/v-deo.html
Wowwww it’s 2022 you can’t assume someone’s gender by there genitals LOL! Come on now I love your videos but be careful I don’t want you to be canceled for those assumptions. 😂😂
There is something I find so adorable about this aircraft, even compared to other microlights. The pink livery it comes with is too cute
Dude, I’m obsessed with Lockwood airplanes. My dream plane is the new 3 seater Aircam on floats. With 2 rotax 914s! Mwah! (Chef’s kiss)
I’d fly away to the Maldives and never come back

he's a great guy, hopefully this means tigermoth!
We really need a Quicksilver MX Sport too ;-)
Thanks for the video. This is the one I've been waiting for. And thanks to Ant's Airplanes for adding it to FS2020.
"ambiguous passenger" LOL! If ever there was a simulator that makes a case for owning a good ultralight, MSFS is it.
this release was a pleasant surprise. Buying later today
I love this. Instant buy. I love the idea of touring in this, hopping from airfield to airfield for fuel.
Love it! Thanks for the heads up!
Drifters are a delight to fly in real life too! Ground steering seems to be simplified in the sim though. Thanks for sharing this video!

Now all we want is his tiger moth aircraft that was great as well 👍
I'd agree! I LOVED that tiger!
Word is, it's next in line!

Always liked Ants planes on p3d. Not spectacular but also not trash. Priced accordingly, sometimes under what they're worth.
Excellent review as usual. This will be in my hanger by the end of the day. I had an RC one which was fun.
I so love your videos and commentary, you said "chesticals" lol! Haven't heard that in a minute.
Nice review.love the idea of touring in this Deffo looks like the best ultralight in the sim. Excellent This will be in my hanger by the end of the day.
Enjoyable flight. Great one for sight seeing around the sim.
This is exactly what I’m lol for for my discovery flights.
The cockpit view look like you're flying an old sport bike without the handlebars!

Yikes, thanks for the warning on the Aerolite.
Yeah I can get my Aerolite to fly once in a while but recently it has just been dead on the runway
One of my favourites in FSX
Great review! Had quite a few of Ant's FSX planes, as well as much of his freeware scenery back in the day! This looks really great! Hope he does the Trojan and the Technam...
me too!
That looks awesome, perfect for VR. My other favorite VR one is the Bell 47.
Nice review. Deffo looks like the best ultralight in the sim.

Also weird question. I just recently got into iRacing and I'm pretty sure I heard you commentating for some skip barber race a few years back when I was looking at old videos. Was that you or am I crazy?
It was me :) I work for Podium Esports currently doing their enduro racing :)
@@AvAngel I read that as "Podium Escorts" and just spat out my tea!
I do love a microlight. Current Aero light 103 is a favourite. Are you a professional pilot AVAngel? You certainly know your stuff!
Not a professional, just a happy amateur :D
This looks fun! Don't know if it's just the video but textures seem too look quite low res? Thanks for the great review as always!
A tiny bit, but you aren't looking at the aircraft that much tbh :D what little there is of it.
If you head over to his website, you can get the demo version and check it out for yourself!
You should experience significant P-factor torque on take off until you get enough speed for good rudder authority.
We culled them flying lawn chairs. You would have more boat around you in a canoe than you do airplane in the typical old school type ultralight.
Nice video!

I'm a 30 hour Quicksilver MX Sport pilot myself. I love my flying lawn chair and wouldn't trade it for the world.
Pilots are a little Thunderbird's puppets.
I learned today what a "slip - o - roonie" was...I think :P
I wish addon devs would just use the default pilots, instead of assuming my pilot. Most custom pilot models look weird, we have ingame pilot and copilot, let us use them please.
Ah yes, I get a bit coloquial at times :D
in p3d they done with very nice custom gps, that was so good, as wasn't overkill, this one i guess better to disabled
Gonna buy it

His Sierra or his Tiger Moth!

Oh yeah, nice and easy with its low angle of takeoff.
Have you considered doing a night flight adventure video?
I would, but I know from extensive experience that youtube video compression, plus night in video games, its just blackness.
@@AvAngel Flying under full moon in MSFS is truly magestic. But you're right that YT's compression algorithm would probably kill the magic.
@AvAngel, Its 2022, I think the passenger is non-binary :) Thanks for the review.

I can always fly them now and then :) I do my best, some hit me up but not most, I usually buy most stuff myself to review. :)
@@AvAngel well then , i hope the magister catches your eye. it does mine,so hoping it will make it over to the dark side(xbox) if reviews are good
I might pick it up this week, i saw it just dropped... will see, not a huge jet expert honestly, i struggle to review them.
