Skycrane on final

The Nemeth's will have to deal with all that stuff but, I've been told that they intend to be able to drop and pick stuff up as well as doing water bombing....

I can't make any promises that we will actually do sling loads. I think we'll leave that for mission designers... Any takers?

hmmmm......I'd love to build towers with the skycrane.


You are guys are consistently producing the highest quality FS products, and you've never made something I didn't like. :icon29:


Have you considered doing more russian stuff?
 
There's no clear answer to that question Anneke. There are two points here: the first is that we don't do the code for any of our models. The second is that we JUST (an hour ago) sent the model off to the Nemeth's an hour ago so coding will only start later this week. So even they don't know yet.

I have asked for as much mission capability/systems as possible. It needs to be said upfront that this add-on will be only FSX Acceleration capable. (SP2)... so... sorry if that's not working for ya but.... we want to be able to drop water, pick up stuff, drop pods etc etc...

That's the best answer I can give you at this time. (or, it will be what it is...)

PS: it's not milviS, it's milviZ... (just saying!)
 
a helicopter operation I have seen on a couple of occasions now is the hoisting of large, commercial A/C units from flatbed trucks up onto the rooftops of office buildings....it would be great to try that one time.
 
Skycranes don't even have winches, do they? We keep hearing about winches. I want to be able to slingload MASSIVE items.
 
There is indeed a very high powered winch on the Skycrane for hauling stuff. Here's a good pic showing that off...

The only thing we don't have is the logging "implement" as we couldn't find close ups of it.

Cool vid Dain, makes me wonder is you could usea mission trigger to have a partial tower and then when you connect and drop the load to it, have it be replaced by a full tower? I wonder if the nemeths have the knowledge to implement the FSX shared cockpit deal, would be cool for the jump seat.
 
you would actually, practically speaking, NEED to have two people.. otherwise, if you got into any trouble at all... (like going up and down for example) you would have to change places... not the best solution when flying a BIG MOMMA and carrying an even BIGGER payload... if ya know what I mean. I am not sure if the Nemeth's can do that. But you could always ask them... :mixedsmi:
