Wow! Now that's interesting. :applause:

[robby88]

Cool :applause: AH, JF or both?

[harleyman]

Awsome...I had one like that in FS9 and it was fantastic to fly....:applause::applause:

:jump::jump::jump:I've always got room in the hanger for VTOL or STOL Ac's. Love the army one with bombs.

[bazzar]

actually, a little different for this one, go here for the full picture:

[deimos256]

wow where do i send my credit card info to??

[harleyman]

No doubt...It even has a hottie in there.....:applause::d

[CG_1976]

Do I see a USCG in those pics?

[bazzar]

wow where do i send my credit card info to??

She's (the "hottie" as well:d) Exclusively Wilco. Exceptional idea for an add-on and take it from me, a blast to fly. Rob's done a fantastic job of getting the transitional flight absolutely seamless and Jerry's FD work (which was not easy, believe me) make this thing a joy to fly. There's work to go but I believe release is this Winter (Northern Hemisphere).

Yes, I believe that the Coast Guard are interested, along with others, so we included a prospective scheme with working winch etc. for rescue missions.

[deimos256]

how hard is the glass cockpit on frames?

[bazzar]

Depends on the computer mate. The "full-house" version runs 30+ on a modern Quad core with say 3 gigs of ram, over an airport. The "light" version will get better but really, she's built for today's computers.

As a guide we run an old 2.4 gig with 2 gigs of ram and a G8000 series as one of our test rigs and the worst I've seen was around 15 over New York.

Is that a Bell 609?...:jump:

well i got a dual core with 2 gigs and an 8 series

*edit* i just know the glass cockpit default planes don't like my system, however i haven't tried them since i put my 8 series card in

[CG_1976]

As i see a USCG paint im adding this to my buy at release list.:applause: How about also a HMCA paint. UK coasties are a rare site in FS skies.

[Lionheart]

Bazz,

This is AWESOME!!!

:ernae: :applause: :medals: :applause: :ernae:


I have waited forever for one of these. I have always been a fan of this beauty.

When does it go on sale???

Hi Bill,

Being just the humble poly pushers I am unsure of the exact dates but it will be this year I believe. FS9 is also to be supported.:engel016:

[CodyValkyrie]

Certainly not expected from Wilco, but an aircraft that will nonetheless enter my hanger. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed.


Only thing I would put in a request for is a easy to use paint kit. I could see lots of possibilities for paint jobs for this bird.

[MudMarine]

Cool!! A baby V-22!:d

Awesome... I can hardly wait. Something to wait for. :d


I am glad you guys are doing a FS9 model as well.

[MCDesigns]

Very cool, looking forward to it! I'll now have to re-consider my no purchasing from Wilco mentality, LOL

[Killbilly]

Holy Crap! :jawdrop: I've been begging for a good 609 forever. What a nice surprise.

[Nick C]

Looks great, but did I get this right...this will only be available through Wilco?

Me too... Remember the one back in FS98? lol.... Finally we will get one with a cool VC and extra variants...

That military variant looks very well done. I like the automatics attached to the inner cabin wall. :d

Great stuff Baz!:applause:

Hi Nick,

Yes, this will only be available through Wilco and their retail outlets of course.

Ask and thou shall receive! :costumes:

Thanks, Baz!

[BananaBob]

I requested one of these a while back at Hovercontrol, would rather see it done by Nemeth but to tell the truth, this one looks darn good and will certainly be in my hangar. :applause::applause::applause:

[bazzar]

we take good care of you...:engel016:

[Milton Shupe]

That is simply amazing Bazzar :applause: :ernae: :applause:

[txnetcop]

BAZ that is absolutely H-O-T!:applause::applause::applause:(standing ovation)

[BananaBob]

Wow, that is cool, I see the patient has the same straps my ex used to put around me at bed time, LOL :d

[Nick C]

I'll add the grumpy post and say that I hope Wilco's service has improved.

[empeck]

Great little plane, congratulations!

I'd prefer an Osprey though ;)

[bazzar]

Thanks for the kind words, it really has been a trial to get everything to work properly but now it does and believe me it is a blast to fly. Landing on moving ships, oil rigs and buildings requires a disciplined approach but the sense of achievement is huge. Being turboprops they spool so transitional flight takes a fair bit of planning to get the landing spot on!

Also, being able just to go literally anywhere in FS world is a joy.
