Looks very good... anyone going to get it?

I might get it in a few weeks. Either that or the Suprunov Design Yak-40.

I have only looked at the videos and screenshots and was not entirely convinced.

The sounds in the Wilco videos are like a Kingair, while in the videos I found of the real tilt rotor, it sounded more like a helicopter.

The panel layout in the Wilco product also looks a bit different from the panel pics I found of the real thing.

I have been researching it, and it looks like they took a lot of fictional liberties with the FS model. I have also seen numerous reports of errors and bugs with it....so I think I'll opt out of this purchase.

They used to, but after years of research and testing they sorted out the kinks, and we (the US Marines) are now using the Osprey and have not had an incident yet.

I work at KGTU airport Georgetown Texas and their are lots of different helicopters that fly in and out of the airport.
I have seen and heard an Ospry years back in person and it sounds nothing like any helicopter I have ever seen Roll Eyes

I don't think I'm gonna buy that. I like almost all the other stuff they release but this just doesn't look right.
