Thanks for doing the review! This is Kevin, the artist on this project. Just a quick tip on a hidden feature ;) Adjust the weight of the aircraft in the menu. The more weight, the more passengers/baggage you have. Have fun, and happy flying!
Huge! I had missed this as the Manual was still being created at the time of the video! On the next video about the Zenith I'll be sure to include those incredible features! :) Thank you! Such a beautiful bird ~
I used Brian’s (The Yellow one) plane to propose to my wife! Took her for a flight and just “Happen” to fly formation with a banner towing L-19 Bird dog. On the banner was my proposal. Doors off! She said yes!
Nice review:) if u use the flaps it's normal that the nose goes down. U need to trim against that effect, then u don't need to wait for wind. And if it's accurate simulated u would be able to fly more slowly than without flaps. A plane with full flaps decreases its stall speed. And ur landing distance as well😉
I just picked this up. I was stoked to see yet another of my favorite STOL/bush planes getting some love in the new sim. Traditionally, little attention is paid to these types of aircraft in the addon market. In FSX real ultralights got even less attention. Right now, I have some great reworks for the Xcub from Bush League Legends, and amazing reworks of the Savage cub from Gravel. There’s a Decent Kitfox, an Aerolite 103, the default Just Shock Cub, and now one of my favorites... the Zenith. However this aircraft for me is a dud. Deploying flaps on approach results in a ridiculous forward pitching moment that cannot be countered. Full aft stick and full aft trim still results in stalling or mushing at 80 knots and a decent rate of over 750 FPM. It is unflyable with flaps...
I already knew I wanted this, but seeing the close-ups of the textures puts it on a completely different level from what I've seen before. Also, what is the music you used in this?
I really enjoyed this aircraft in P3D, it will be a great addition to MSFS! But I hope that copilot can be disabled, because it kind of ruin the cockpit quality, the textures seems low res compare to the rest, and the 3d model is quite poor, looks more like a dead body on the right seat than a living person...Plus it's absurd to model only the passenger and not the pilot, if you have the ability to see the people who are in the aircraft while in cockpit view, you should be able to see yourself or your character...
Hello. Before buying it I would like to know if it is possible to disable the co-pilot from inside the cockpit. Unfortunately, it takes away the extraordinary possibility that this aircraft has of having a great view of the landscape from inside the cockpit, especially with the option without the doors. Thanks for reply
$27.00 I'll buy a new game! (or two). Just crazy pricing. MSFS is a cash grab for everyone I guess. I'll go for the new Waco and maybe one more for less money.
@@SimulatedAviation I guess, but comparing A2A aircraft for FSX, some of the stuff for MSFS 2020 is just not up to speed for the price! (IMHO). Now, if A2A comes out with a J-3 Cub done accurately with great sound and modeling, that I'd pay $27.00 for in a heart beat! However, to be honest, I'm not seeing the quality I'd expect in these higher priced aircraft. Again, seems like a cash grab as the many devs are just jumping to be first and aren't taking enough time to get things right. Kitfox , for example, is more like FSX or less in quality. Looks 'okay' but the instruments are horrible. Rather wait, have someone develop a proper model with all the Kitfox vibrations. $30.00 is just fine, if the model is beyond expectations in every possible way! $30.00 is not fine when you can tell many details were skipped just to get the product to market. :( All opinion, but I have to think others might have similar observations. Flight sim as a hobby is CHEAP compared to real flying, but still... Rather spend money on top quality add-ons and avoid half baked ones. Market place offerings are great though. You can see first hand reviews. That will help weed out the over priced devs.
@@Curious_Skeptic I would give you ten thumbs up if it was possible. My thouhgts exactly. And Carenado is the same. They use the "standard" garmin system in FS2020 with all its flaws and inacuracies.

Sounds like that would work nicely with Neofly, and the like.
The no doors option alone, makes this aircraft worth picking up.
100% Absolutely LOVE IT
Absolutely an incredible aircraft!
Yes it is! Definitely our new favorite bush plane! Thanks for your amazing formation skills!
Would be nice to see some of these reviews without the music. Hats off to SWS for a great looking aircraft.
On the next one I assure you I'll let the engine roar! :)
Random Trivia, the plane was designed by Chris Heintz, anagram zenitH. :)
Thanks for the trivia! :)
Part 2 coming soon! Where we take a closer look at the sounds, bush trip mission, and much more! The Zenith is packed full of features!
Great review. Nicely done. Most of us pronounce it "ZEE-nith" as opposed to "Zen-ith"
@@sebastienheintz Haha Now that I know, Part 2 I will be sure to pronounce it correctly :) My apologies! And Thank You!
Will be Part 2 available before or after the release?
Andddd we get a pax?? I’m so ready to fly this in VR!!
Yes! Can't wait!
Where is my wallet....bush flying heaven 😁 great review Tim.
Thanks so much Mark! :) You're going to love it!
Woah! Day one purchase for me! Gonna share this in my Group! Are the creators on FB ?

Interesting. Wish it was a Super Cruzer, but interesting none the less. will watch this.
Enjoyed
Glad you enjoyed!
Is one of my favorite aircraft to fly low and slow in MFS 2020. Can land it anywhere! Great Review. Cheers

Wow!!! Congratulations! I hope I can propose in a similar way in the future EPIC Stuff!!

Wow the music was really only a distraction. I really want to hear the engine in a review.
You got my money.... Will it be sold in the MSFS market place, I've had issues downloading from there, took a day of trying to get the new Jabiru
Initially it will be sold directly through simworksstudios.com/, coming to Orbx in January! Not sure when/if it will be on the marketplace
@@SimulatedAviation Well Im glad I can get it directly form you, the MSFS market place has download issues.

You can disable the co-pilot by lowering the cargo weight.
@@myblujl7503 Good to know!
Is he saying Zenith wrong? Did he also say STALL instead of STOL around 8:06?
Indeed I've been saying Z-Nith Wrong!

Yes. Just lower the cargo weight and the Pax will go away.
@@myblujl7503 Thanks. Nice
Horrible music! Could do without it, otherwise nice airframe from SWS.

All depends on the person, but this has to be one of the most detailed and complete aircraft we've seen yet :) You pay for what you get, most times
