Lionheart Creations - Bücker Bü-131 Jungmann - First Look Review! - MSFS 2020

[@thomscott1247]

An excellent typical in depth Review as usual. Carl was German and started Svenska Aero in Sweden before moving back to Germany. The lovely Beate Koestlin was his Test Pilot. At first Carl was viewed with suspicion by Mr Hitler and this Aircraft was almost a None Runner as a Trainer for the Luftwaffe until ii's Engine's power was improved. There were also delay's and a Pilot of a Steiglitz Aircraft which was also being concidered as a Trainer by the Luftwaffe lost control and 'Landed' on Bucker's Production Hanger. An Accident, possible Sabotage or maybe just Steiglitz's idea of Quality Control ! When Lion Heart gave us the News that their Talented Team were making a Jungmeister we were hoping that this would be the 133 version. This BU 131 is most certainly a well rendered Aircraft and so like the Tiger Moth in many way's We're concidering this 131 after your Review and when Lion Heart's Tiger Moth comes along it will also have a special place in BCP's Hanger. Regards from Thom and BCP. ps You're German accent was perfect ! BCP said you must be a Fan of Don't Trust the Rabbit. kzbin.info/door/1-MpIG20o6kzsu1I5SLXpQ

You should try the Nieuport 17 from Big Radials, it’s currently my favorite biplane in the game, much more fun than the stearman, the stearman is a little bland for me, ground handling/takeoff and landing is too easy for my liking. Try the Nieuport tho i think you might like it!

[@BuntyDave]

Yeah the Nieuport 17 is great fun.

[@volkerjansen3901]

I saw several Jungmanns a few (hm, rather many) years ago at the Hahnweide fly-in in Germany and absolutely loved them! Nice to see it so beautifully modelled in MSFS. Very tempted to get it, although I already have more planes than I can fly ;) Thank you for the review!

[@MegaPeedee]

Mate! Can one ever have too many aeroplanes? It is nice to be spoilt for choice, as it is said. I have been simming for decades and I used to purchase everything almost, but now I am more choosey. I want authentic material and at the moment I am shying away from anything that doesn't shape up to the real thing and chief among all for me at the moment is sound. If the sounds are below par my money stays in my pocket. Sound is so important for immersion and where I can sometimes ignore small glitches in graphics I can't when it comes to sound. I hope developers understand how important sound is to us for immersion. And as the sound in this aircraft is from a Cessna 172 I won't be buying it. A developer's laziness won't get my money out of my pocket.

[@volkerjansen3901]

@@MegaPeedee I mostly agree with what you say regarding the sounds. As far as I know, Lionheart is a single person, and with the modern MSFS standards it seems it is really, really hard to cover all the topics from 3D modelling to gauges to flight modelling to sounds without gathering a team of experts. Lionheart seems to have put a lot of effort and passion into this plane, and he is honest about his missing sound skills. For me personally, that is okay, and I am planning to buy the plane once it is available at JustFlight.

[@mediamonitor980]

I have a radio controlled BU-131 in this colour scheme with a Swiss tail number. My favourite RC plane! Love that someone decided to make a sim version!

[@AvAngel]

cool!

[@philgreen815]

I love this aircraft, one of my favourites, especially in VR, thanks for review.

[@glennmullis1477]

Well done! I absolutely enjoyed everything about this video review on this beautiful airplane. I can't wait to purchase my own copy and take her up for a flight. Thanks for creating a great video!

[@AvAngel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@belgeode]

Looking forward to seeing how this compares to the Aerofly FS2 version. Thank you for the review!! Cheers!

[@yappydawg8985]

Thanks for this review. I have been wishing for a Tiger Moth (or Gypsy Moth) but I think the Jungman will scratch the simple open cockpit biplane itch quite nicely.

[@marwinsteiner5817]

Wonderful aircraft. A local GA airport has one, so every now and then you can see it doing acrobatics and whatnot. Cool airplane!

[@Steve-ui1ej]

Great landing, enjoy your reviews and like the history you give about the aircraft.

[@AvAngel]

Thanks!

[@deepredson]

Thanks for this. What a great flight and a great review.. as usual. Bestest Barty

Ich Danke Dir für das Video ! Ich hoffe allerdings mehr darauf das eine Bücker Jungmeister mit Sternmotor im MSFS 2022 heraus kommt , die mich um einiges mehr Faszinieren würde ! ;-)

Awesome video, I've been thinking for a long time now I'll buy the part. you persuaded me thank you 😍👍👍

[@brownechr]

Nice review, thank you - I saw it on the store earlier and it was calling to me.

[@salvadorcastaneda9370]

Thank you for this fantastic video and review. The level and quality in the details and textures of this Bücker "Jungman" by Lionhearth is incredible, but unfortunately it has two errors in the modeling of the plane. First it has an excessively long nose for the original Hirth 504 engine from the 1930s and the second has a tail and rudder that are a bit big and high compared to the real plane, a pity. For these two details I believe that the designer has chosen for the rendering the Bücker C-104 (Z-131) model built in Czechoslovakia equipped with the Walter Minor 4 engine and not the original German Bü 131 A/B built in Germany, Switzerland, Spain or in the same Czechoslovakia (Aero C-4) equipped with the Hirth 504 engine.

[@AvAngel]

If you read their webpage I linked it does talk about the plane it was modelled on and inspiration for various components, This might explain that

[@mikecoffee100]

another Great video and finally am flying FS 2020 just wish the vor sounds would work

[@Lee78072]

Looks stunning. Only little "Rivet Counting" would be that there should be a Swiss Trainer Variant with the Correct Markings from when they where in Active Service. Gess it is a Job for the Repainters...

[@ramygjerde6574]

Great video! What sensitivity curves do you use if any?

[@AvAngel]

Standard

[@joemarkowski4465]

Did you adjust the volume for the video? You're in an open cockpit and yet I barely hear the engine.

[@AvAngel]

I always turn it down a touch, but it is quieter yes,

[@DragonBlood]

what airport is this? so beautiful

[@AvAngel]

Zel Am See in Austria, Orbx's addon version

[@DragonBlood]

@@AvAngel thank you!

[@AV8R_1]

The only complaint I have about this aircraft, is that there is a fish eye lens effect when in cockpit view that doesn’t seem to exist in other aircraft. It can be a bit much when you’re playing on a huge monitor.

[@AvAngel]

Does seem a little long but I think it’s an optical illusion?

[@AV8R_1]

@@AvAngel I noticed it the most when I pan from side to side, 180 degrees wing to wing. You can kind of see the distortion. I haven’t noticed that with other aircraft. It’s not a dealbreaker on this one, but it is noticeable.

[@greglaw4451]

Enjoyed your review, as a result I bought the plane. Then struck a problem I haven't had before. The plane doesn't respond to the throttle or mixture. It just sits there ticking over. I wonder if I have missed something. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to it.

[@AvAngel]

might be a glitch on your end, do others work? try reinstalling it.

[@greglaw4451]

@@AvAngel All my other planes work. I think it is a problem at my end. I was just wondering if there is a switch I have missed. Even the on screen mouse moves the controls, but nothing happens. It's rather odd. Might have to delete it and reinstall.

[@ludwik982]

Thanks for your review. Despite thé sound shortcoming im very happy to chose this biplan. I was looking for one with great outsideview, i find it very well suited with track IR, the choice of liveries is near perfect... And Just like you said, you Fly it by looking outside, not by instruments... Must be great in VR probably !

[@Breezew1nd]

According to Lionheart, the sound set is from a Cessna 172. I hope they'll manage to find a better option for it in the future.

[@AvAngel]

I hope so, but for now it doesn't actually bother me... its a 4 banger too... and not a hugely powerful one, other than wind sounds and being 100% accurate, its not glaring, does that make sense?

[@Breezew1nd]

@@AvAngel Yeah, probably it won't bother everyone, and it was just my personal take on the topic. It still sounds to my ears like a closed-cockpit plane. A good review nevertheless.

[@AvAngel]

There's room for patches, and its easier to fix that than a derpy model or awful textures... worst comes to worst there's soundpacks like the little Ryan that would fit perfectly with wind and similar powerplant.

[@Breezew1nd]

@@AvAngel If it was easier to fix, I'm curious, then why so many third party add-ons in MSFS have problems with the audio portion of development, and not that many of them seem to actually improve much in that regard after the launch? Do you mean the A1R Design Bureau's Ryan for MSFS? I don't actually know much about it, and am curious if the sounds could be aliased for the Jungmann? I really want to buy this plane for myself, but I've ended up with a plane without proper audio for several times already.

[@rolanddutton4723]

@@Breezew1nd it's not too difficult to swap the sound packs, if you've bought the Ryan. There's guides on the Web. Basically you need to copy over a couple of files from the sound directory and edit a json file. It's honestly not as bad as it sounds. The Caudron would work too as it also has an inverted 4 cylinder motor.

[@michaelguard9647]

My hearing is not so good, but did I miss the “Clear Prop”?

[@AvAngel]

yeah probably.

[@johnclarke2553]

Great review. I think the front cockpit, with its reduced instrumentation was the instructor's, as it is in the Tiger Moth.

[@AvAngel]

Its apparently for the student, and later the instructor as they progress.

[@daabbett1600]

with msfs looking so good in VFR, i think the sim hasn`t got the attention on the sounds it deserves with the right devs. i have the Neiuport 17 by big radials and it too creaks as load in the controls are applied. you can hear the cables and control surfaces move. and the engine sounds on finals as it put puts its way down is just like being at shuttleworth on airshow day. some of the jets too , hearing the actuators and control surfaces. not been a biplane fan much but do enjoy the 17 although i did find the wright flyer interesting in fs 2004. one of the moths would be a great addition. bet your experience in the tiger was fun?

[@AvAngel]

Breathtaking honestly, really unique and you just feel part of aviation history.

Another great review, and another $30. USD out of my wallet. The more of these older aircraft coming out is fantastic, I’m not much into jets, or glass, I prefer the late 30’s aircraft, and have been waiting for someone to build an C-47/DC-3, that would be the cats meow for me! Cheers, cya next video!

Aeroplane Heaven will release a dc3 pretty soon. Unfortunately there last releases aren't good enough for my taste.

[@fulanitoflyer]

Is that the Indiana Jones 3 plane? "I'm sorry, they got us"..

[@AvAngel]

Ah... yes! I think so! Indeed it is :D That was heavily modified to have the pilot in the front and fake rear turret... ww1 style ,but yes a Jungmann

[@ccharlot]

God I waste so much money on planes for this game

[@MegaPeedee]

I have given a thumbs down on this one because toy didn't mention that the engine sound is from a Cessna 172. I could tell it was off from when you started the engine and I think that is the first negative you should have mentioned. My recommendation to potential buyers is "Don't". We must force developers to give us authentic material, after all it is our money they want - we wouldn't, I hope, knowingly buy any other inferior product so why should we with sim products.

[@AvAngel]

I actually didn't notice it honestly... I found out later on the forums... Thanks for the thumbs down though? Not sure how punishing me punishes the developers?

[@MegaPeedee]

@@AvAngel You are quite, right. I apologise. I will give you a thumbs up and hope that compensates. I am a fan and appreciate your reviews. I have 'fallen on my sword'.
