there was an update to the Flysimware model and it has a good looking (non dwarf) pilot now as well as a few other fixes.FS Northwest-are they still going? has a freware FSX native model 47, in standard utility, float,and US Army Medievac. And the pilot is not a dwarf, and it easy to repaint. I thought FS Northwest was closing down, but I do have the models and some repaints done- RCN HTL-1(natch!) and 2 AAC machines. If FS Northwest is closed,we should make an effort to host the model here. Its quite nice- I thought it looked better than the payware model.

The Flysimware model lacks a good flight model and custom sound pack, which it should have considering that it is payware. The visual model is also inaccurate. Or at least does not appropriately represent a civilian model 47. Coming from a helicopter freak, it was a let down. Sadly, the FSNorthwest model is even more inaccurate, but comes at a great price - free.

I was digging through files looking for contact information for FS NW to ask permission to U/L to the SOH library-its a model worth preserving. The FSX Spartan and Howard are already hosted here, I cannot imagine that there should be a problem with that. Over all, its a pretty sweet model-heck; even the oil cooler fan is animated. Anyway, found some screen grabs.

Yes, the FSNorthwest model was free. I think I have a copy of it somewhere, but in my searching online, I was unable to find a download. If you still cannot find a download, let me know and I will see if I can find it on my hard drive and send it to you.
