what would you like to see?

A Lockheed Cheyenne Attack Helicopter. The airfile and aircraft.cfg may be a little tough though. The helicopter could take off and land as a helicopter would, but also fly like an airplane with a top speed of just under 200 MPH. It could fly sideways at 68 MPH, and was an aeronautical marvel. In reality, cost overruns and production delays eventually clobbered the project. Still...

Got you covered on the Cheyenne. Working out animations and VC on that referencing 4 GB of Lockheed files and test footage I gathered. Uses original sounds from existing footage. aircraft.cfg is not that hard to do. Right now it behaves well when I test it out.

Looking for a summer release date after beta testing.
 
WOW... :icon_eek:! I'm looking forward to following the developmental progress of this model, as well as your finished product.

I'll second on that Mojave! Never seen one of those for FS9, or any other sim for that matter.

EDIT: The last time you were here, as I recall we were discussing the Cheyenne, which it looks like you've gotten well along with. Looking forward to that one. The other things I was thinking of were the Stealth Blackhawk used in the Pakistan raid, and the stillborn Comanche.
 
I would also like to see a Mojave, Cheyenne, RAH-66 Commanche, or maybe even a Westland 30 for FS9. Those would be great!!! Getting excited!! :jump:
 
Lockheed also developed a nifty little helicopter that would've given both the Hughes 500 and Bell Jetranger a good run for their money had it been further developed: the XH-51

Massive +1 for the Mojave, got to be one of my favourite helos of all time! So ugly it is beautiful!
 
Thanks for the suggestions. Looks the Mohave is taking the lead here. Luckily I can head to Mother Rucker to see the one they have. Closer than Pima though I'd love to see that museum out there.

The XH-51A 240mph. Even today the AH-56 would smoke the Apache even today.

Oooooooh!!! :icon_eek: :icon_eek: I wanna fly what's in your picture as well!!! That looks stunning!! Is that in FS9? And if so, when can I fly her? Simply brilliant!! :salute: Please release her soon!!! :icon_lol:


I would like to volunteer to be a beta tester. It would be an privledge to fly these and give my input.

How about one of these with an MMS and Hellfires? Makes one wonder what might have been.
 
A Boulton Paul Balliol......Oh no we've just built that, ummm well I have a few ideas but they will probably turn out to be our future projects!!! :)

Cheers,

Always fancied a Pilatus P2 though. Out of all my years simming found this to be lacking from the virtual hangars.
 
I don't know if I should cast a vote, since I'm not currently active in the hobby, but I long wished for an H-37 Mohave (I forget what the Marines called it.) I saw the 3-view and couldn't resist commenting. If there was one, I would probably get to fly it in the future, as I don't expect tp remain out of the hobby permanently.

We already have an excellent Republic Seabee with a gazillion paints for it, so a new one would be pointless.

That UAV and its ilk are far too modern for my taste, but I know there are folks who like that sort of thing.
 
I'd also love to see someone tackle the PZL 104MA Wilga 2000. I know that there are freeware and payware round-motored Wilga 35's out there, but I think the Wilga 2000 is definitely a good looking and good flying bird with its improved aerodynamics and flat, 300-horse IO-540 Lycoming...
