This %100 mesh, paint-able 1930's model JU-52/3m Airliner has an advanced physics flight engine and performs like a real aircraft. Painstaking efforts were put into the creation of this plane to make it not only realistic, but fun to fly and reliable. This airliner comes complete with the following features:
• Easy to use paint and color system.
• Fully modifiable, some scripts in the plane are full perm. Many options can be changed using menus.
• Remote flying ability via HUD. Fly it from any seat or even standing on the ground.
• Includes 4 liveries that can be easily changed by chat-command (Lufthansa, Woodland Camo, German Officer / Immelmann II and Art Deco)
• Realistic flight physics and stalling.
• Working and usable dashboard instruments, switches and levers. Fly the plane in mouselook entirely or in third person.
• Seats 15 (pilot + 14 passengers).
• Detailed, shadowed interior with script-controlled bed.
• Celestial dome seat in the rear for a unique flying experience.
• Working flaps, elevators, ailerons, rudder, landing gear, doors lights, animated wheels and much more.
• Thoroughly tested for reliability, bugs, and usability.
• Scripted to handle region crossings well, even with passengers aboard.
• Dual-control cockpit controls: Share controls with your copilot if you choose and fly at the same time (not either-or).
• Guest, Group and Owner only pilot modes. Put your JU-52 on a rezzer if you wish for your airport guests or let a friend fly solo.
• "Boarding Mode" option completely locks the cockpit seats so passengers will take a rear seat by default when boarding the aircraft.
• Lock-able co-pilot seat.
• Optional fuel system with realistic fuel consumption.
• Advanced HUD can control plane from any seat or the ground using your mouse only. HUD includes optional instruments tied to the plane, not your avatar.
• HUD Tracks your landing scores (with averages), flight times and total hours flown.
• Intuitive chat-commands. The plane understands a command-set from a variety of manufacturers, not just CheerMaster commands.
• Dynamic braking on ground, air-braking in air.
CheerMaster is proud to present this plane to you and we have spent tedious hours making sure it's a reliable product that handles region crossings well. This plane runs on one 0.5 second timer which helps it to cross regions without "crashing" and makes the plane low-lag compared to other planes running on timers with 20 to 100 times that frequency rate (or more), and many with multiple timers even . Special attention was paid to keeping it a one, low-frequency timer plane so that it does not have issues with region crossings that many other planes can have.
If you hate how your camera messes up on region crossings or from passengers falling out or standing then this plane won't further infuriate you. The CheerMaster JU-52 was made to gracefully handle issues and errors caused by slow passenger connections and bad region crossings. Why ignore errors and situations you know are going to arise? We didn't, we want the plane to handle any adverse situations as gracefully as possible.
This plane banks and stalls similar to planes you may have flown in Grand Theft Auto or other games and was modeled to simulate games with this high-level of physics response. While this is a rather large aircraft you'll find it is fun to perform simple stunts while flying.
This plane has a detailed cockpit with functional instruments, lights, levers and switches that are easily seen in mouselook.You can completely control the plane in mouselook from takeoff to landing and without using the HUD if you wish, though it is hard to see over the dash in any tail-dragger when on the ground including this one.
Customize it! In addition to an easy-to-use paint and color system, this plane is modifiable and the plane can be controlled by script or Navigation HUD if interfaced. Detailed instructions on how to use the plane's program interface are included with the aircraft and you are encouraged to make this plane your own! Most of the scripts in this plane are full-perm (not the main flight engine) and can be tailored to your preferences or used as examples to create your own aircraft.
You will get free updates on this vehicle for life, including the military version with VICE and rear gunner, and a civilian and military version with floats when released.

Congratulation!
This is one really good product, and good start for this brand!
Have lots lots of good feature, what I missed in other creators products!
Control is easy and comfortable almost perfect fun for fly and perfect relax flying around in sl with this aircraft, just need littlebit longer runway for take off than other aircrafts (around 120m - general runways around 200m soo more than enough)... (for AvA dc-3 enough 70m) Its problem for me, but I think not problem for the general pilots. (in my personal viewpoint: this days trend build huge ugly multisim concerte monsters what is called "airport" and "runway" and good point destroy the sl landscape with that disgusting grey builds, soo the longer runway really not problem)
Sim crossing for me not really good and littlebit problematic with this, but some year ago every creators stuff was similar in simcross, soo I just feel the old good days, but beta, Im sure will be much better!
Hud is hud... I don't use huds, but I checked, really intuitive!
Finally: If anybody want one different "flying taste" than mainstream creators product and love the fresh expressions, and like customizing (not just with uv maps) I really suggesting this stuff!
Not perfect, have mistakes (remember, just beta realise), but I think perfection is boring, soo if you enough brave for little risk, for you will be some good time with this airplane!
Congratulations, and thank you!
Very lovely plane
Luckily i was also able to get it while it was still cheap just some days prior to now, where i see its on the original cost again :-)
I've to say its a very nice plane, flies well, though not sure if i had bought it for the original cost. It is definitely worth it though, if you like old-fashioned aircraft like this.
Now i just hope for some more textures to be done by others for it :-)
Get it while it lasts!
Cannot think about anything that has not already being said. This is a top quality aircraft modeling and scripting wise, the working dashboard is excellent, it's stable, reliable, sounds wonderful, well, I am REALLY glad to be able to get this one at this price, because it's worth more than 10X easily. GREAT plane!
Awesome Aircraft!
I enjoy flying vintage aircraft. In fact that's about all I fly. I'm also on a very limited budget for SL so when I saw this one I pretty much had to give it a try. It blew me away and this is just the beta. I've flown several other aircraft from some well known makers. Some of those makers need to take lessons.
First of all, the instrument panel works and can be used to fly the plane if one wanted. The easy seating position adjustment for mouselook flying is very much appreciated as I am somewhat short. I generally use the HUD even in mouselook flight because the size of my monitor makes the dashboard ones just a slight strain to use. The HUD is one of the best designed ones I've seen. I appreciate being able to get it out of the way when not needed.
Flightwise, it is superb. It takes off as a taildragger should with the tail coming up as you gain speed (try lifting off before it does at your own peril). The first time it stalled on me it caught me by surprise, but I knew from what it did that it had stalled and adding power and nosing down a little got it back under control without any issues. Landing it well has taken a little getting used to. You will use flaps, you will keep an eye glued to the airspeed, and you will pay attention to the attitude of the plane. Some aircraft you can get away with a lot. Not this one. come in too high and dive at the runway and you'll pick up too much speed to land. Come in too slow and you'll stall before touching down. You can even adjust the responsiveness to the controls.
The model is decent though a little clunky in areas. There are some nice details. The converted gunner seat gives an incredible view if you aren't the one flying. The texturing enhances the model about as far as it can. The included liveries are well done. It is moddable, but the linking of the model limits what can be done.
The biggest con would be it sets the bar so high for what I'll expect in any other aircraft I consider in the future.
Well worth the buy!
I got this plane recently on sale and I am surprised there is only one from this maker, it is an outstanding craft. A little rocky the first flight but with each i am loving it even more. The functioning Flight Deck is amazing, I cant help but keep flipping the switches. This Tommy Toggler will recommend it to all!
Very polished for a beta.
In short words, excellent. You can't beat the price, and I'm interested to see what sort of improvements are made to the final product. There isn't much that is a loose-end as I can see it. It flies well, it has texture support, the sounds are excellent, and it crosses well.
The only problem that I can see with it is the fact that everyone has one now, and they're filling the skies! It's suffering from "big plane for cheap" syndrome, which is leading to big crash-ups by inexperienced fliers at major airports. But... that isn't the plane's fault. Great aircraft, no buyer's remorse here at this price, and the product delivers performance worth far more.
