#Freedomfox #MSFS2020 #Simulation - Hry
That tent is a dealmaker for me ! I have this fantasy of an around the world trip with a lil tent...
FINALLY someone decided to release a cool plane with camping gear !
Speaking of helmets and headtracking, my first headtracking setup was actually an app on my phone sending data from phone gyros and accelerometers to opentrack.
I had to somehow mount my phone to my head reliably, so I actually ended up screwing a phone mount onto a bike/skate helmet, which I would wear while flightsimming xD
Woohoo new FS vid. Keep up the good work!
That is quite possibly THE BEST looking Kitfox I have ever seen. Holy WOW!!! Thanks for sharing this, and Merry Xmas to you AvAngel!!🤩
You too!
what about flight dynamics and realism for takeoffs, landings and how it feels in flight ? Is this worth the 30 USD? i would assume this is a pretty simple aircraft to develop? just wanting to make sure there is enough bang with buck , wind noise , engine sounds appear not good in this video.
I nearly bought this when this video first came out, but then thought, 'Why do I need another random bush plane?' Yesterday I randomly watched Trent Palmers video on the whole Trevor Jacob thing, really liked him so decided to buy it. I really regret waiting, I can't figure out exactly why but Freedom Fox is the most fun aircraft ever! It flies like a tiny little WW2 fighter that you can land anywhere. And the tent is weirdly fun, just landing somewhere random and remote and chilling with the tent up. Why is that satisfying? No idea, but it really is.
It's those little features I think that flesh out a good aircraft and make it an awesome addon...
I’ll Get this plane for sure! Thank you very much, AVAngel! Nice review! I wish a very happy new year for you and your loved ones!
Top notch review! Absolutely agree on the sounds and documentation. On the AVSIM release thread someone from the team said they were already working on proper sounds, but indeed this feels a bit rushed. I will absolutely get the plane anyway, looooove Trent's channel and so this plane is absolutely iconic for me, and I am glad to see that overall it is very well done :)
I have been waiting for this airplane. Getting it today. Thank you for confirming it’s worth it.
Trent never used to have an autopilot, but he did a big upgrade a while ago that he called the "cub killer" that's when he put the 915 in, and did a bunch of avionics upgrades, including adding AP.
Yeah that’s what this version is I think, not his old fox,
@@AvAngel yeah, certainly looks like it. I mean, it's still the same airframe, so it kinda is his old fox, it's just had a big ole hit of steroids
Love the look of the plane. Hated the first fox that came out as well. Awesome scenery..the river water masking is amazing.
Happy holidays AvAngel.
Looks like I need to set my new year resolutions sooner. Let's start with: try not to go broke over flightsim addons and game sales before the end of January..
Thanks for another first look! I didn't follow this project closely, but nevertheless wasn't expecting it to be out so soon. Looks like I'll be adding another bush plane to my hangar!
bought the F16, the spitfire, the Su57(dnt buy it), the WYMF5, the Freefox full Package, the Kodiak and Fouga magister in 12 days 😂 + better airport mod (Really nice ! Works even with landing challenges !) Vessels mod and 3 seasons weather mods 😂❤
@Maxime LE BORGNE I held strong. Not a single new payware addon since the Husky. 😂 Well, besides the GotFriends GeeBee, Optica, & Discus FES. But I'm not counting those since they were gifted or beta/press copies. 😅
It might pull to the right more on takeoff with a copilot aboard. The weight offset.
Looks like spin recovery practice from those handprints on the dash ;)
Trent Palmer video "Steal my plane" shows how he starts his aircraft due to real issues like battery power. Nice video 👍
Another great video again. Question are there any videos out on how to use the Garman GPS in the plane like setting it up for flight plans, alt, autopilot, etc? Thank You
Just got it this morning. the 240hp is insane. loopings on loopings like the lovin doggo you didnt saw for a week 😂 excuse me im french but im sure you got it boys 😅 Pretty smart review by the way !
Love your videos! What is your favourite bush flying aircraft that you’ve tried so far?
The beaver for sure.
Well, I guess I should both thank you and place the blame on you for my new addiction, Av.
Picked up this package that also came with the Kitfox variants, Bushplane Campout and other scenery.
Then got the Got Friends Wilga, Project Stratosphere Kitfox S7 and will soon be getting the DE.....and this is just within the last week.
Plus, watching some Trent Palmer on the side. 😂
I still love my helicopters, but Bush Flying is a whole new world of aviation I never knew existed.
This was just released for the xbox today and it seems as though they fixed some things because I do get sound bleed when I open the doors and definitely a difference.
damn guess I gotta buy this now
December 24 Simbol of the design team posted on Avsim forum that further niceties are will be added right after Christmas including sounds and some other things.
This creative update notification makes me giggle for some reason... :)
So glad to see the extra liveries in there, the only thing holding me back on this is that Trent's livery is very in-your-face American. Hold released. You are quite right about the real Freedom Fox doesn't have an autopilot, on the right it has a Dynon D6 mini efis with the analogue engine instruments and a transponder, and the 'panel' on the left is a removable mini ipad with a steam airspeed gauge behind it (just in case) which explains why you see so much random stuff on it :) Hard to say on the sound, you don't get a lot of engine noise in his videos, but as you say if it's wrong I'm sure it'll get patched.
This is his new cub killer freedom fox, the updated version is like this apparently
Oh snap. Yes, if I look at the latest video not the walkaround the panel is exactly like this. I didn't realise he'd updated, I must poke around in there further. Thanks for inspiring something to sneak off and watch on christmas day when everyone falls asleep after lunch :-)
Now all we need is Draco to be modeled
Yes! it's coming soon so I'm excited.
For 3:15, if you watch Trent's video ( czcams.com/video/ahDnpIfAg58/video.html ) you'll understand why he loves camping.
Terribly disappointed that the sound doesn’t change when the doors are opened.
Chances are that will patch, it's a bit of a derp.
Hey Trent Palmer just released a video about this if yall want to check it out. Oh by the way the 'desert oasis' scenery is actually his house thats pretty accurate as well. Also he camps pretty often and uses the One wheel as well and straps it to the wing struts just like that. Looks like the devs and Trent did a very good job making this as close to rl as possible. 👏 👏 👏
has this been updated much since review? have they fixed any of the concerns you mentioned?
Multiple updates and yes
@@AvAngel thank you!
Looks really promising this one. Don’t forget to take your helmet off when you get up from the computer!
It looks really good, but I’m hesitant with the developer saying they will improve stuff, seeing how they more or less ignored SkyPark…
Maybe... but this is a little different as an aircraft, and Neofly kinda boomed over skypark.
Have a great xmas xx
Happy holidays!
I don’t under stand how he changed the upgrades on the plane ? Can some one explain?
She, and they're options in the launcher you can select to install.
Can you share info about this scenery? Looks nice for bush planes.

@@AvAngel thank you!
Go to - Options->Camera->Chase Camera->Instrument Heads-Up Display->Off.
yeah i had it off, it keeps turning back on with updates :D
i love you and your chanal firekitten
I'm not Firekitten here :)
@@AvAngel fine avangle
i spelt that wrong my bad
i found it takes a fps hit in citties but for bush trips its better
This is Trent Palmer's kitfox
Yup, they worked with him on it :)
I did expected more features since there was a big fuss and hype with this plane. Guess i'll have to wait till further updates.
It's got a lot of features to be fair.
@@AvAngel i ment features as a document and checklist and perhaps additional sounds to the engine tunes.
This version of the Kitfox is the most expensive and powerful and is equipped with autopilot ( on request I think). That of Trent Palmer have one. I have seen two others equipped with that autopilot and with Garmin. I would have prefered also a more normal version with steam gauges but ... surely simmers prefer this one because without GPS they are unable to make a proper "old style" navigation. On MSFS they must not pay for such high priced device ..... in real life even that engine cost too much for a Kitplane like this. Most buyers opt for more quiet version of the Kitfox.
Personally I'd like the old 'radial' style cowl and a full steam setup... give me a map and a nav radio and I'm happy :D
@@AvAngel yesss, the radial style version would have been cool, even because is well known worldwide. There are many even outside USA. This version have only a small amount of clients, most of them from Nevada, Utah, Colorado. They will not sell such kits outside USA. Just like the XCUB. There is only one in UK, one in Japan ... all the others only USA.
Freedom fox....you mean the Dutch Duke special.
Go ahead and wear a helmet if you want. Safety first, I say.
XD
Where is she flying at (location)?
It's in the video and description, I explain :D
@@AvAngel thanks, don’t think that download will work for me since I am on Xbox.
It won't sadly, sorry!
I too don't want you to explode during a review. :-) But if you do explode it might be a good idea to have your "head tracking helmet" on so you don't splatter brain matter all over your keyboard. :-)
Yours are the reviews I hold in the highest regard. Thumbs up given.
Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays Avie-A
I try not to explode, it's a hobby of mine :D
It looks like a chubby Piper Cub.
yup, but she can sure move!
I love the curved propellers!
What is this airfield!?
Photosbykev's Cheat island.
Apparently Trent Palmer does indeed have an autopilot installed, see here czcams.com/video/iyfenVwqNz8/video.html min 4:35 ff and 20:30 ff
Where is Draco?? Mike are you on board Sir? Let Draco live once again for all of us fans? Please? :)
Draco is actually coming very soon from Gotfriends!
@@AvAngel Really? That is the first plane I said I wanted when MSFS 2020 hit last year! You just made my year. lol Love the Kit Fox too and Trent's channel so I will be buying that as well but Draco is just bad ass to another level. Now if we could only get a Dornier 228 NG study level (ish) I would be set for the next few years. Great channel AvAngel and keep up the great work. I watch all of your videos and look forward to every new one.
Thanks! :D
He does have the autopilot in the real plane.
Yup
Wow great plane but the price! Talk about charging like a wounded bull..
£22 isn't bad tbh... I'd say it's more than worth it with systems, the modeling quality and the handling. Sturdy little plane with two versions, especially a customisable one.
The only tail-draggers I fly are the Milviz Porter & the Husky. Whilst it looks nice, and does what it's supposed to do, nothing in this for me to go out an buy it. I think MSFS is now getting to a stage wheres there's options for a lot of classes, and it has to offer something better/different for me to splash the cash. And - as you say - no wind when you open the door is just bit meh for £23. 👍🏻
See discord and I'll make you happy :D
@@AvAngel You have a discord?
As a pilot you'd be wearing headphones so it wouldn't make any difference opening the door 😉
You can hear a difference for sure
@@AvAngel not much from experience
I know you like Bush Aircraft.
Please ask MSFS if they can fix the non retractable gear on all the amphibians?
Its very embarrasing!
Gear is down, water landing and nothing happens!
Cockpit instruments are ok, but externally, gear remains fixed?
Also there is a verbal warning.."GEAR IS UP FOR A WATER LANDING"
Looks rediculous in Asobo!
Please sort it?
Uh... Landing gear retract just fine on amphibs, they do on all mine?
Also I have literally zero contacts at Microsoft/Asobo sorry.
Yup, rushed.
Graphics 9/10. Flight model 9/10. Sound 5/10. Sounds flat, generic, asobo.
little yeah.
as long as its better than the big tire kitfox, that was was sheisty ripoff and a dog turd.
By, several country mines, many nautical miles, and a few dozen kilometers! This is nothing like that one.
@@AvAngel sweet
