My thoughts exactly "An Asobo aircraft with an opening door!"
AS SOON as she said that I scrolled down and looked for this COMMENT from you hahaha
I made a first impressions and I didn't even try touching the doors as I didn't think they would open
@@simtherapy9533 it changes the sound in the cabin from your right headphone, such a welcomed touch, and if you have special sounds on even better!
@@theVRpilot I'll have to try that out 🤠👍
It just tells me ive crashed when I open the door while flying it, do any of you know why?
I love that you have the same reaction to an opening door as I do. And I'm always pleased when the engine note changes when you open it. Thanks for the review. I'm going to try the Husky in VR later. Really looking forward to it.
I was looking forward to your mini review, and you didn’t disappoint. Glad to see that they put a little extra effort into this, and it genuinely looks like a nice aircraft. Keep up the good work!
Excellent review! I'm adding this to my bush fleet immediately. Thanks!
I just fell in love all over again. The avionics suite is huge! Solid review. Thanks,
Thanks for watching!
Well that caught me off guard. And an Asobo aircraft that OPENS DOORS???? I think I should go buy a lottery ticket. LoL awesome video as always!
Another great review, you sold it to me , thank you 👍
Just purchased this for my Series X based on your recommendation, really enjoying your informative and helpful channel. Best wishes to you and i’m looking forward to watching all your past and future content! 😌👏🏻
Thank you!
Woah, I bought this earlier and did a quick test flight before work and I didn't even try the door. I just... assumed it didn't work. I'm impressed!
Nice review, thank you! Just waiting for the store to finish my download ;)
What a surprise, thanks again for an excellent review. I got the impression you enjoyed that :-)
I really really did! it's actually suprisingly good... and the price is great!
Nice to see some fancy liveries from Asobo. SUBSCRIBED, thanks to your great content!
Thank you!
I have a special affection for this model aircraft. Thanks for the video.
Great review ☺️. Love all your videos from that part of BC. Being from there I love your adventures from that area!!
.
Thanks Steve, its a personal favourite place to fly, been sim flying on the BC coast for 10 years now? feels like a second home, dream of visiting it one day.
Love the plane and the avionics bang on great video
Great review, great plane, thank you 👍
Nice review once again Rach, looks like Asobo have finally taken note of you and applied opening doors. this does look really nice, i think i will be adding this one.
I also agree with you about glass cockpits, this is acceptable and functionable. i just won't buy a GA aircraft or any if i can help it with full glass. prefer old school flying, however this one is a nice balance.
after a year since release MSFS has really taken its stride now and looks like it should be.
we are starting to get some good add on aircraft now. you will have to do some more bush flying with Jeff in this airplane :P
Miss my A1 Husly from STMA on X-Plane, so nice to see it in MSFS. :)
Found your channel and bindged all your content, very clear and well presented reviews. I actually bought a few aircrafts based on your recommendations. Keep going, you deserve way more subscribers.
Thank you so much!
@@AvAngel Try flying radio navigation around the Azores Islands in the Atlantic they are quite beautiful and still have both NDB's & VOR's. You may want to feature the Islands in your next video or review on CZcams. You can use Skyvector.com to find the radio beacon frequencies
0:45 love your reaction lol
Ohh my asobo husky aircraft
Interesting that is a true epic of a bush plane doing some flying skill to surpass of your limits just like a other bush plane in a top speed delivery some spare parts up to food supplies
Of it
Good job rachel
This one is definitely right up your alley. ;)
Hey AvAngel, would it be possible for you to go over your favorite bush airports? We know you love BC and Alaska, but do you have any recommendations for other continents like Africa, South America SE Asia etc...? Thanks love the reviews!
New Zealand is basically a bushplane playground.
@@jamesordwayultralightpilot agreed, it is. It's also an area many people already frequent, so I didn't include it in the regions I asked. I'm interested in the places that people don't go too much.
Thanks
@@chanman4rings Bugalaga Indonesia....challenging mountain dirt strips galore
deffo going to buy this
I was going to skip buying this one, but your review changed my mind. I think I'll enjoy flying around South America in this.
It’s a must have to me, great for sight seeing and exploring with really perfect avionics
Just completed an hour plus flight with @belgeode in this aircraft. Wow. Love it.
Molto Bello questo Aeroplano me piace tanto , penso che melo compro per il mio Compleanno al 17. Novembre 👍💖🥰😍 Fantastico , Grazie per il tuo Video AvAngel ;-)
I really love this, but I think I’ll have some more practice with the Cub before I purchase this
The Piper Cub is the Bf-109 of civil flight simulation. Umpteen iterations of the same type.
A blast to fly it in VR!
Another great video. Thank you. On the digital engine monitor, what is the 1,2,3,4 blue and green bars indicating? Thanks in advance.
That's a Dynon EMS unit i belive (may be wrong) those will be related to the individual cylinder temperatures... Green I believe is Exhaust Gas Temp, and Blue is Cylinder Head temp per cylinder, there are two circular readouts above that for totals with the EGT and CHT markings. (The Lycoming 0-360 it has is a 4 cylinder engine)
Also if you pop-out (undock) the center glass panel, it rotates 90 degrees to the left (counter clockwise).
It does? Holy crap lol I never knew!
Great stuff as always - and and Asobo AC worth buying? Whatever next...
ikr? :D
really nice, cheap too, 12 quid.. Asobo with an opening door. i think i must have died and gone to heaven :-)
I lost it when I saw that… Was not expecting it!
200HP?? Oooooh...... that explains why it was climbing so much quicker than I expected lol
Woa, that is a epic model. And flying around Bella Coola is starting to wear on me though. Its gorgeous and I may have to explore the same region. I live down south and have never seen 95% of my own province. I have the Angel Resort, so do I have to stay in the 5th wheel RV trailor?? Great job per usual there Aa.
No the barn lol
@@AvAngel Well then, I may have to find another epic piece of BC scenery for myself...sobbing as I leave...
Its amazing how much aircraft have improved. I would dare not use this plane t in case I get dirt on that gorgeous wooden floor. As I said I use MSFS 95, but then I got every single add-on possible even including photo realistic scenery (yes , it did exist way back then) and some glorious aircraft with dedicated panels. Unfortunately it never made use of 3D Graphics but that is part of its charm. Still impressive sound and visuals. Not quite in your league, though. I thought Bella Coola was your name. Good evening.
orbx's Bella Coola comes with an orbx variation of Stewart, that's why it looks so familiar in style. ;)
No, Stewart is the default hand crafted one, it was this way before I had Bella coola
Not a fan of glass cockpits - but this is fabulous. Great review - definitely getting this... !
It’s the right combination IMO, practical glass not total panels
@@AvAngel Thanks to your great review - Got it, flew it, love it
Shocked to see an Asobo plane with an opening door. Wouldn't it be nice if they went back and added that to all the planes? Such a minor thing yet it makes such a big difference
All the airliners doors open with the various ground service stuff, just not the GA stuff :(
It was indeed built in the 80's and IS STILL built today. They deliver about 25-35 aircraft per year.
They're a fantastic little ship!
Is it just me that thinks this should have been a free addon from Asobo? it just feels as if Asobo took the cub, upgraded the avionics, did small visual changes, added the opening door as bonus (which should have been standard on all aircraft like its predecessors FS2004 and FSX), and slapped the name on it...I don't know, I have been flightsimming for YEARS so maybe I am just having too high expectations or its just me being picky, but thank you for reviewing this AvAngel.
Bella Coola is a beautiful place. The people and the scenery is absolutely stunning.
My uncle owned the bakery in hagensborg in the early 80’s. I used to go visit and work there.
If used to the the greyhound there.
I still remember the greyhound on the Hill switchbacks. Scared the s h i t out of me lol.
If you’ve been there you will know what I mean.
I sadly haven't but one day I'd love to!
Pop a fuse on that thing! LOL 🤣
It was stupid to limit the liveries to the standard version, knowing Asobo's track record it could have been a mistake. But by now I thought surely some would have released an edited xml file (mod) that puts the liveries across all versions.
Lee runs to his pooter ! Starts up FS2020 and gets this baby 👍🙏🏻✈️👨✈️ Nice review AvAngel 😊
Great video as always. You are costing me money. Must be the sexy voice! Sorry BelGeode.
Lol thanks? 😅
You're gonna want that airspeed dependant gear warning system in the real plane. Might just save you. Good job always trying to do your seaplane turns to the left to take advantage of the turning tendencies!
Its a nice feature to have, but after a while checking the gear status is a natural habbit, the annunciator just irritates me :D Gear is the FIRST thing I always check approaching land or water in an amphib.
It's a feature not a bug. Just click the amber light to turn it off. Absolutely prototypical for that series of floats. It's a proprietary float system.
bloody never stays off :D irritating for those of us that are used to checking manually as part of our flows... going to land or water I always check my wheel status.
@@AvAngel I bet. But I'm sure is saved some a**es too. I do so enjoy your videos. Looking forward to getting this plane. So you ever fly in Air Hauler or Neofly or anything like that?
I used to use airhauler back in fsx... then FSE for the multiplayer aspect of that... neofly I do want to try tbh.
I want to say this sounds like an instant purchase... but the lack of liveries on the other models has me holding off for the moment, silly as that may sound.
Hey now, did I see right at 17:45 ? WTF? The floats have wakes now? That was the thing I most missed from water landings and they just sneak it in like that? :P (Now I only need to buy a new computer so I can run the sim on better-than-potato quality)
I would've never noticed this if I don't watch your videos AvAngel :D Thanks!
It came to the sim in update 5 as a much advertised thing with ski snow and dirt effects. (so a week ago) this is the first aircraft to release post update 5 with it straight away.
The opening door alone made me get this but also, to have a beautiful, clean looking bush craft with a door is, what can go wrong. Like honestly I don't get the "it's too like the cub" because to me it handles quite different. The cockpit is smaller and I think cleaner. Very different style too. If fly outside all the time yeah stick with the free one but I'd not touch the cub now honestly as the cockpit in the Huskey has me in love
Yeah its nothing like the cub, I feel its much nicer tbh.
Depends what you're out for. Savage cub is underrated as far as flying outside your plane and overall performance. Longer VFR flights will probably be better in the husky. Apparently it's the best float plane we have so far, so it's definitely worth it. I just wish it would be easier to get slowed down and stopped for off runway landings...a style that is not yet emphasized so much when it comes to these "Bush"planes
That's also landing technique... I like to get my tail wheel down first and stall the wing down onto the ground pulling up flaps as I do, you stop really fast.
@@AvAngel add full brakes as the mains touch for full stopping force. I learned that from Trent Palmer lol
ah... that sounds like a recipie for a backflip :D
My only issue with he Husky is their bush wheels. Th XCub has it too. They’re too narrow for the height. They look weird.
How do you add passengers and pilot models?
I'm having trouble tipping this plane over on landing with brakes applied. I'm pulling back on the elevator to keep her glued down. But, she tips over alot right before coming to a complete stop. Anyone having trouble with this? Thanks.
Common with tail draggers, reduce braking as you slow and come off them before you stop then ease on. 😀
idk if this will do it, but if you have aircraft damage turned on which is needed for neofly and you open the Carenado Seminole window it will cause it to crash, youll hear your neofly lady call your maybe in, and the MSFS menu will come up saying you crashed. Very odd as i know in my Real life piper cherokee i can certainly open the window and ive yet to crash or have the plane fall to bits.
Yeah common bs with crashes on in sim stupid unrealistic stuff causes a ‘crash’ as it’s outside stock behaviour technically. It’s why I never fly with them on and be honest about mistakes
It’s like a bush version of the decathlon...
Are you using a foilage mesh mod?
nope, just ultra settings.
I have flown a real Husky and they are quite tame as far as P-Factor and tail swing is concerned. So let's see if Microsoft flight sim can get this right as their taildraggers are still a bit of a farce for now. They climb very good and get off in very short order. The owner was setting it down in only a 700 foot runway. An excellent utility aircraft though I have no use for one my Tri-pacer suits me just fine. The low deck angle you noticed is to keep the airplane a bit more stable on the ground at speed. Higher deck angle airplanes like the cub want to bounce and leap off the ground with speed. So airplanes like this one and the citibria are very easy to land and ground handle. I have flow both. None of which were mine.
Not much pfactor tbh, gentle on takeoff, climb is good and ground handling good, it’s behaviour on approach is very predictable, so I’d say it’s fair but unlike you I have no experience of the real one, further flying puts it firmly in the very good category.
@@AvAngel i assure you most of the wagging the one I flew did was all the result of yours truly as at that time I had very little taildragger time at the time. So if that should tell youabout how gentle they really are. And I have witnessed the owner doing hammerhead stalls in it they are very strong airplanes. The one I flew had mostly steam gages. My Tri-pacer is all steam gages. I of course live in the US. Do you live in England? Its probably more expensive to fly there. I have an English pilot friend that live here in the US he says the airports charge you for every landing you make in the UK.
Yeah landing fees are real over here :D Its expensive to fly in the uk... more so than the US... plus gas prices are nuts.
Being named after Husky I expect this one has more tantrum than what you've described
@@zdj1013 not really, its name is in reference to its robust nature and carring capabilities. One of the best Qualities of the very best type equipment military or civil is in its ease of use. Machines that are quirky & difficult are dangerous and counterproductive.
Excellent review.
Asobo's Aviat Husky has a problem: When I use the left wheel brake, the plane brakes the right wheel and tries to turn right, and when I use the right brake, the plane brakes the left wheel and tries to turn to the left. Hope this is corrected soon.
There's a bunch of this mismatch on this plane. The nav light switch is backwards as well.
These are not issues I've experienced, you reinstalledi it?
@@AvAngel its correct. I already uninstalled it and reinstalled it and the exact same thing happens. The left pedal brakes the right wheel and the right brake pedal brakes the left wheel.
You can get airport info, but you need to manually enter the ICAO code
Pity it doesn’t work like my garmin but hey
i was enjoying the Husky quite a bit a few months ago until the wheel brakes got bugged after an update and now I can't land or takeoff with it. I still like the float version but the wheeled version is unplayable for me now.
Reinstall it, that baby is my
Favourite plane in the sim
@@AvAngel I was thinking I had tried everything but come to think of it, that is the one thing I haven't tried. Thanks!
Good idea but nope. Still bugged.
Just wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to get credit for Time flown? I go through the shutdown process but never get the pop-up screen? Same with the power solo is it because they are dlc aircraft?
I’m pretty sure it logs the time regardless in your profile
Yeah you're just confusing the ending screen for the activities. They only come up when you finish an activity. Free flights don't tell you they just keep track of your stats and hours.
I'm noticing it needs more runway than the other cubs in the game, check out the real on and it's normal for the husky
Yes, I was sorely disappointed. Wasn't able to nail a slow speed touchdown with rollout of less than 250' or so. And it was a rough arrival. I still have the most fun landing off runway in the Savage Cub. Even the X Cub is hard to get slowed down. But I think it's just me.
It’s a bit longer landing due to lower deck angle, not quite as psychotic as the extreme cub variants, but still very capable, can’t really compare it to Cubs directly
@@AvAngel that's definitely true. Everyone compares it to the cub bc of the color. Two completely different animals.
so what are the settings it seems jumpy during flight cant fly it without it going like a yo yo
Settings? That depends on your computer honestly, aircraft is fine for me
@@AvAngel I did figure out something thank you for the reply
It reminds me of Harrison Ford
Yup I think he does own a husky
sooo Msn planes don't have doors that open :O woow FSX did but ohhhhh the scenery is deffo better in 2020
what? we cannot customize the registry? glad you went the extra mile and showed us that seaplane turn..... I'm sold. Hope the Cessna modders and the grumman widgeon chaps get on their seaplanes
Uh yes you can customise the registry, N403SX is my one
@@AvAngel Having issues in Africa at 6000 feet runway. Wanted to see them critters. Bijan's trees are spicing up the environment, but I cannot get above it. How much trim do I need? Should I adjust mixture? Uh, cheers?
uh... that's impressive? 6000ft?
If you're at high altitude yes adjust the trim, climb issues are typically too much prop RPM not enough throttle... (the overspeed warning, pull the prop back to 2500ish and you can firewall it, tons of climb... I found this lifts off and lands in around 800ft.
I love the Aviat Husky, but I cant open the door while flying like you did in the video without it telling me I crashed by overstressing the aircraft.. I dont understand why *sigh*
Might need to turn off over stress and crashes, they’re been derp since fsx and it uses the same logic… be a grown up… if you crash you know. Crashes and stress off allows doors and bush off airport landing… doors like this very much are opened in flight
Thanks for the reply! I will switch the option for that off. It doesnt seem to be actually effective for its intent anyway.
Yeah flying with the door open in some parts will be good fun.
Love your videos btw! Some of the best flight sim content on the tube. Cheers
I’m super impressed that’s a great little plane. It’s not one I’m familiar with but wow Osobo have done a great job with it. I was really impressed with the wheeled version but what blew me away was the float version, best float plane in MSFS? Looks like it. Just disappointing about the liveries.
Great review as always Rachael, love you - 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈Katherine🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Thank you very much!
@@AvAngel yvw darling
Why oh why did they have to put a glass cockpit on this beauty...
To be honest as a glass hater myself this is actually decent… enough information, but enough actual gauges
@@AvAngel It looks like so... It's just that I find the original steam gauge instrument panel one of the sexiest ever made, and THE reason why I'd purchase a well made husky model.
Being a convert to the ways of Garmin Pilot and its reduction of pilot workload in GA flying, I'm ok with the larger GPS/info panel, and honestly the engine readout is fantastic for a one stop engine shop... the digital Artificial Horizon is... managable, the rest being steam i quite like it... though I'd have liked a HSI too... without having to have the synth vision (that I hate)
I bought it last night,another good thing on the avionics front is you don't get a bitching Betty/Boris telling you "don't sink,don't sink."That is the one that irritates the hell out of me..............................................
She's replaced by "Engine Overspeed" good observation, the Husky doesn't seem to impress me in the Sierra Nevada region as far as climb and slow flight. I'm gonna try her out at sea level tonight. Overall, not very happy. But I'm sure some people love her.
Can't believe it is a year later and there's still no *flyby view* in MSFS?
Great review and aircraft, but it is too similar to the default Savage Cub, Shock Ultra and XCub to my liking, so I'm in two minds about getting this.
It’s a far nicer plane in terms of avionics and performance and honestly I’m a little eh about the cubs, plus opening doors, better engine, nicer build tbh
@@AvAngel Good points and the price is actually very good. I love how Asobo makes better aircraft at lower prices than most 3rd party developers.
what airport is this?
I said in the video 😂
@@AvAngel for non-english speakers it is sometimes easier to read it then to hear it in the video Rachel.
It's CYBC (Bella Coola)
did anyone else pay 12 for this, about 15 dollars probably (guessing) I just tried to buy it for 12, wouldn't let me, but would for £24 (£25 probably) which seems more like it for an aircraft of this standard with that many types, and skins. wouldnt be the first time the market has messed up.. Not complaining, just asking.. i saw the spitfire on there for "£6 (ERROR)" it said, a few weeks ago lol
It's showing as the price i mentioned to others, I'd contact steam/microsoft if you had an issue?
No game sound = no sub! Otherwise good review.
Plenty of game sound? Do you want to hear engine blasting over the review?
my liveries aren't showing up!
The liveries are currently only on the regular wheeled variant the others for some reason only have one
@@AvAngel yeah except for mine! No liveries at all anywhere!
The thumbnail isnt an aviat husky
Yes it is… it’s literally the aircraft in the review lol
Is this a freeware ?!
No but quite cheap
@@AvAngel I'm subbing to your channel but could you bail me out of a stupid bind? I'm unable to purchase anything from the Marketplace cos I'm constantly told my email disagrees with the email used during purchase of the Sim. I have no idea what they're bleating about. I've sent a ticket but haven't seen a response to date. Any ideas please??
Do you have the steam version or microsoft store? you may need to change the email there?
@@AvAngel Got it through my brother who purchased the box version. I downloaded 20 or so gigabytes and then I believe 80 or so online. The figures are a bit of ballpark numbers, but no it wasn't from Steam or Marketplace.
Husky better better but paying Asobo ?? surely You Jest LOL I know Asobo planes always need some mod from outsiders but paying for Asobo they should just stick to the free stuff and let us fix them as it should be
This is pretty epic, if it gets mods it will be a necessity
Wait people review planes? (I'm new to microsoft flight simulator)
Try to lol
@@AvAngel Are Bush planes for cruising?
If you want to sure, typically slower than dedicated general aviation types though
@@AvAngel cool
more inportant.VR WORLD SCALE ASJUSTMENT.
Might do!
Am I the only one that thinks you are that one GTA RP player
No, Because I am! Lol
Now if only they could fix the graphics downgrade, and ludicrous bloom and overexposed colours.
Can't believe they charge for this, greedy bastards.
What? Hard work? 4 variants and 10 liveries? Damn straight they can charge like any other developer
@@AvAngel premium deluxe edition owner, all I got was some light aircraft and the worst 787, and they have the audacity to charge...that's just my opinion lol
Me too... honestly I love the aircraft I got... the classic 172, the 152, the cubs, they just gave us a pile of float and ski planes... this is like any other DLC aircraft, just made by their in house team, they give us major world updates every couple of months... for this price? its totally a bargain. Development isn't free.
As a real world taildragger pilot, I've been disappointed with the dumbed-down MSFS flight models - they're far too forgiving of sloppy handling. You state in the video that you liked the Husky's flight model because it is "well-behaved" (but you also say, correctly, that taildraggers "can get very spicy very fast!") So how "spicy" is the Asobo Husky? I'm not looking for nastiness, just realism, so that I can keep my tail wheel skills current.
Mistreat it and it bites… its got a lower deck angle than a cub so it’s a touch more gentle, the insane broken p factor of the sim is less pronounced, a number of higher power tail draggers have a tendency to immediately go nuts at 40knots tail up or down, this one will start to swing with torque but a jab or two keeps her behaving, winds are… interesting but as expected more difficult for a tail stagger. Never flown a real husky but it’s behaving as they are reported to for rhe 200hp variant engine.
