I don't know how many here have seen this, but I am sure that alot of us have seen the movie AVATAR. Well, since the movie came out, a lot of us have been waiting patiently for someone to build the helo's from the movie. Well, the wait might have to be not that much longer.

The Nemeth brothers are doing just that. Building the SA-2 Samson. Take a look.
(so far it really only has a VC, and no paint...)

This is a very bad choice for them if they want to turn the company around and start releasing the most realistic helicopter add-ons! The Huey was a wreck, and now they are creating a fictional helicopter. What are they thinking?!

Just a heads up that I've covered this topic in the payware subforum here.

Also, I agree with Brandon. Wink

That there' a potential market. I'm 90% sure that I will buy it when it's released.

I don't know anything about the Nemeth brothers or their best choice to improve business, but I would probably buy it as well.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

depending on the external model / texturing, and if they could/would build it for FS9 as well, not only X, then I WILL buy it! There are a few other craft that I would love to have, but unfortunately, no one seems to be willing to build them.

One in particular is the Cornelia Marie from Deadliest Catch. (or really any boat from that show) http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/deadliestcatch/boats/

IIRC, a couple of months ago, someone posted snaps of his WIP of a "Samson on steroids". I believe he called it the "Atlas". Looked pretty good, and I hope it's progressing.

Is anyone taking on the Mountain Banshees or the Leonopteryx, with or without "makto"? Tongue

You might be referencing what I have dubbed the "Goliath" (Samson --> Goliath?) that I was redoing from a mesh I discovered on Sci-Fi Meshes several months ago. This design has gone into remission, for several reasons. Mainly, the loss of my external HD which held so much of my 3D work, as well as the development of MS Flight. Once MSF is past the beta phase, I'll start the project up again, since I have no idea what the final model format will be.

Yes, that's the one! Shame about the external HD.
