This is a really neat little aircraft for FSX thats fun and easy to fly & install, great attention to detail etc, so much to mention about it I'm just going to let you folks judge it for your self. We now have it available for free download on Simviation as a featured download in the "Hot & New Picks" list on the main page of the site. I think you'll all love flying this fun and fast little prototype that can land on land or water!

Cool little plane....great job Cool Cool Smiley
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thanks Chuck, the credits really deserve to go to the designer Simon Smeiman, I just happened to get lucky and be the 1st to introduce it to everybody here at Simviation! He did say feel free to do repaints so I do plan to do some repaints of it. Cool

Chuck drop the flaps and go full throttle and she will very smoothly take off on her own! Very smooth to fly, fast and strong, I've had her up to 300 knots and she didnt miss a beat!!! Cool

STOL = short take off/landing
VTOL = vertical take off/landing

Well she's already a fairly good stol aircraft patchz, but I'll pass that request on the vtol to the designer and see what he says, personally I've have yet to see any vtol aircraft in FSX work correctly, I have the Isis Harrier and that thing wont take off straight up, I have a payware 22B Osprey and it don't take off straight up either even though in real life both these aircraft can raise straight up ..... Huh

Wilco Publishing has got it mostly figured out.......I have their Tilt Rotor, it does fairly well. It kind of picks up off of the ground funny.......but the transition is pretty smooth. I don't have their new Harrier, but I hear it's awesome Cool Cool

Their new Harrier is very well detailed for freeware inside and out I will say that much, but she's a hand full to control in flight, soon as you start to rotate the nozzles all hell breaks out lol! Tongue
