Native FSX PZL-104 Wilga in the making?

The subject came up in the Champ topic. Thought I would continue here.

Is someone doing a FSX native Wilga? I hope so. I would like to offer my painting services. And maybe opportunity to be on the beta team. I really like that little plane.

I forgot about the Wilga as it's been awhile since trying to migrate to FSX.
....Back in my FS2004 time I did a few repaints on this one. Rather enjoyed it.

I installed the Wilga in FSX. Doesn't look bad. (memories) There are problems with the VC glass being black and the prop is translucent in the clouds. Have there been fixes done to correct this?

I tossed a few of my paints in there to test them out. Not bad.

Hi YoYo, and thank you.
....I'm having trouble reading anything there as I don't know the dialect. Currently trying to translate to English. I would love to help out if you can use my abilities.
Czech maybe?

Edit:
I have registered. First email received and waiting on acceptance
 
I will write to develloper, model will be perhaps free but I dont know his status now.
I asked him before and will put here his reply. Thx.
 
This is exciting. Freeware or payware. I must have it

My registration was successful. Just waiting for the acceptance email. This will be interesting. I hope someone understands my language there.
 
Sigh, again I'm too late. That would have been my first own developed native FSX plane. Collected about 500 photos from the Wilga, contacted 10 different Wilga operators, got 2 different manuals and 3 detailed pilot reports....hope it turns out nice, especially the flight model. It's not too easy to fly, especially land..the real one. Nevertheless I enjoyed flying the real one very much, although that was a looong time ago

Someone is never too late. I had no idea someone was making this one for FSX. Now I find out you were going to model this one also. Am I ever out of the loop around here.
...Personally, I wouldn't let this slow your direction. You have all the research, the resources. And you've got that far. Why let this get in your way? Every modeler does things differently. What one sees in their eyes, the other can better the rendition.

Personally, I'd love to see you move forward with the project.

Exactly. Don't give up, from 3d model to flyable FSX aircraft is very long way. Who knows, maybe you'll be faster :)

I noticed that empeck. Thank you. Hopefully we can spark more enthusiasm :salute:
 
Thanx guys for you encouraging posts and pms :)
My Wilga will for sure not be available sooner than this 'original' Polish one, but whenever she will be ready, it will be very high quality freeware.

Best regards

Bernt

Bernt,this is fantastic...i love wilgas and like someone said...id like to have several versions...im looking forward to yours...you said you are a pilot and you flew the wilga at one time?...if i read that correctly...ive read in the past that they have a short flight duration?..like small fuel tanks so they dont fly far?...is that true?

Bernt.....go ahead man, we all love that unique plane, I flew it in FS9 all the time around the Alps and the Andes.....sure will be great for a Mission or Adventure Flight!!!!:jump:
 
I flew it a lot because we had 2 at our local airfield, but that was more than 20 years ago.
In the meantime I'm flying only the Boeing 767-300ER anymore due to the JAR-OPS regulation which makes GA flying in Austria unbelievable expensive.
And it's true, the radial engine is incredible thursty (that engine wasn't even planned for the Wilga) but it's vertical performance is incredible....up and down....but she's very slow.
Even at take off power you can't go faster than 102kts and that's a plane weighing just 1900lbs with a 260hp engine!
