Those are, sadly, not quite correct. The wings, the body shape... How do I know this? Cause I made that model for them and they asked me specifically to make it wrong.

The one on my site is, however, correct.

(just saying is all)..

Are we ever going to see that in FSX?!:kilroy:
 
I suppose we could do that pretty easily though how would you want us to do the control system? There's no pit so...

We do have all of them btw... Reaper, Reaper II, Predator, Predator II and the X-25.

No cockpit makes it even easier. Just a simple 2D panel. Though if you are asking for more trouble, perhaps something like Abacus' Predator control cabin that can also be shared amongst your whole UAV fleet:

I'll be happy with just a native FSX 3D model. No fancy VC. A hud gauge (default F-18 would do fine), gps and a few more default gauges should take care of the panel. If you guys are really in the mood for it, I'd be glad to help with textures and FDE.

Does that include the new General Atomics Predator C - or the Avenger as it seems to be called:

Top speed of 400 knots, internal weapons bay, carrier capable with 20 hour endurance looks to be a big improvement over the current Predators. Isn't it starting to feel like Skynet in the Terminator films coming to life lol

Not yet but thanks for pointing it out.


We're honestly not looking at this seriously, though if someone offers to assist us in the FDE and backend programming for these, we might consider it.

Perhaps, for the VC you could design the underside of the UAV and place the viewpoint in the same position as the camera on the real thing, allowing you to pan around.
