Just to be a spelling Nazi, I have noticed a common word used amongst flight simmers that pushes my OCD button. Defiant vs Definite. The latter indicates certainty, the former indicates blatant, unrepentant, aggressive, violent rebellion.
 
regardless dragonfly or not, your releases have been top notch thus far so whenever you guys release it will be warmly welcomed

Im just glad its not another spitfire, hurricane, mustang, cessna or something thats already been flogged to death

Strictly speaking, it is actually a Cessna, just of a different breed. Now that I think of it, it is kind of ironic that the benign one is called the Skyhawk, while the wild one is called the Tweet!:biggrin-new:

Alex, this one is going to be a sure success, and a much needed addition to the FS world. Looking forward to it.
 
The "Flying Dog Whistle". I used to service USAF T-37's that came into our FBO and if there's a couple of things I never forgot, one was the awful screech from the intakes and the other was the mandatory Fireguard posting during the engine startups. The only jet engine I ever stood in front of that was equally as loud at idle was the RR Viper engines on the old Hawker 125 Jets. Even with ear plugs, I know I still suffered hearing loss from them based on my hearing checkups after that time.

Hopefully this model will be in or around Study Sim level. Nowadays with DCS and P3Dv4, I don't use anything less. If so, it's a sure buy for me!

Personally I find this underwhelming, but that's just my opinion.

You're opinion noted, so why even bother to post? You find the topic or the discussion underwhelming? Just sort of a bizarre addition for a lot of excited Tweet/Dragonfly enthusiast
 
I spent my final two years at Perrin AFB here in Sherman, Tx in the 60's and during that time worked T-37's that had a satellite maintenance unit from Sheppard AFB on our site and then a year spent TDY to Nam where I worked on the A-37 Dragonfly. I am definitely looking forward to the release of the T-37 for sure and if a Dragonfly rises from the remnants of that product. . .all the better.
 
When I was at Carswell AFB in the early to mid-80s, while preflighting a B-52D as a student gunner I saw my first Tweet and learned that you needed to have your headset on when one taxied past. Unique sound. When I got into flight simulation with FS2004, FSX, and then P3D; I had always wanted one since the Microsim T-37 came out. I actually got a copy (with license transfer of course) and it kinda worked in P3D, so I'm looking forward to this release.

We were required to wear ear plugs and a headset, they were parked a good distance from our shop and so we drove up to their location. . .usually to sign off a Red-X or some other discrepancy before engine start. Even sitting inside the truck with the doors closed we had to have that ear protection on. A nasty sound for sure.

In UPT we called them 'dog whistles."

Yep, that was my thought even before I heard that nickname (Flying Dog Whistle). As I mentioned above, I hated standing fireguard in front of them during engine start on our FBO ramp.
