Hi Bill,

Being just the humble poly pushers I am unsure of the exact dates but it will be this year I believe. FS9 is also to be supported.:engel016:

Awesome... I can hardly wait. Something to wait for. :d


I am glad you guys are doing a FS9 model as well.

:ernae:

Very cool, looking forward to it! I'll now have to re-consider my no purchasing from Wilco mentality, LOL

Me too... Remember the one back in FS98? lol.... Finally we will get one with a cool VC and extra variants...

That military variant looks very well done. I like the automatics attached to the inner cabin wall. :d

I requested one of these a while back at Hovercontrol, would rather see it done by Nemeth but to tell the truth, this one looks darn good and will certainly be in my hangar. :applause::applause::applause:
 
Wow, that is cool, I see the patient has the same straps my ex used to put around me at bed time, LOL :d
 
Thanks for the kind words, it really has been a trial to get everything to work properly but now it does and believe me it is a blast to fly. Landing on moving ships, oil rigs and buildings requires a disciplined approach but the sense of achievement is huge. Being turboprops they spool so transitional flight takes a fair bit of planning to get the landing spot on!

Also, being able just to go literally anywhere in FS world is a joy.
