On Hold Eolus L-575 Ultralight Trike 1.10

^Map in the image is Baja Hills by Aboroath.

The ultimate ultralight aircraft has arrived (still in beta though ). Manufactured by (fictional) Eolus, the L-575 provides the best flying experience for those who like feeling the air hitting their faces (wear a helmet though ) .
This aircraft is able to take-off and land in very short distances in practically any surface. You don't need long asphalted runways any more. You found a straight piece of road? You'll take off just fine with the L-575. A tiny strip of grass? No problem for the L-575.

It features modern digital screen technology for it's most important instruments, providing clear and accurate altimeter and airspeed readings.

Two versions are offered, the Prime, and the Sport version, go ahead and find which one suits you best.



Controls
T & G: Hold to increase/decrease throttle.
Arrow keys: Pitch and yaw control when airborne, as well as taxiing control on the ground.
P key/ Space Key: Wheel brakes.

Please note that the thread is labelled as "WIP", the jbeam and thus the damage behaviour might need some tweaking, you might find glitchy stuff. That said, I am sharing the mod because I want to hear your feedback!

Congrats on your promotion!

 

Oh yeah, I've got to get me a copy of this!

Damn, now I want an autogyro.

 

remove the paraglider wing and you've got yourself a 3 wheeler more dangerous than the Pigeon.

 

This man seriously deserve a dev badge...

 

I don't need wings.

 

Finally, a new airplane. THANK YOU!!!

 

Just....great.
Thanks!

--edit--
Wow, this has to be in my top few mods ever. The modelling is superb, it crashes fantastically well and the flight characteristics are exactly as I'd expect.
Crucially as well, it's the perfect aircraft for Beamng sized maps in terms of scale and speed.
Thanks so much!

 

This is from Flight Simulator X, I'm gonna try it!

 

It is a great mod,, i like it alot. I have a big bug that makes this not as fun as it could. After aprox. 2 min or less the wing falls off the plane, I don´t know if i take the ´sport´in the name to serious or not, but I just flew in low flight took some thight curves, and than out of nowhere the plane is crashing, not once but everytime.

Thanks for this mod Joel

 

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't ever experience this problem until after I released the vehicle.
I actually find this bug fun , you know, random unexpected crashing is always fun, isn't it?

I've seen this problem reported by many people, I guess I'll try to fix it .

 

Sure, sometimes bugs makes a mod or a game so much better, but sadly my plane crashed every try, very repetitive. Also I think feedback is the thing in our comunity, we help out and create awesome mods and an awesome game.
