Looks great. Had a lot of fun with their last chopper package in FS9.

Too bad they tossed out the OH-58. That was the chopper i had most fun with in FS9. The other models were also high standard, for Abacus.

I'll probably buy, as I am a "Rotorhead", but I really wish developers would hop of the Huey bandwagon and make some Russian birds!( I need my Hind, Hoplite, Hook and Hip!) :engel016:

Nice concept, but I'm not impressed based on the shots. Seeing as it's for FS9 and FSX, I bet they are not FSX native either.

Would like to have that huey, but the shots of the pilot with the shiny uniform usually means the textures don't have FSX properties (straight FS9 textures tend to have high specular in FSX) .

Yeah, you're right. I didn't see the gallery the first time so cancel that first statement.:redf:

Those crewmembers also look too "stiff" No natural "slouch" or posture.

The blackhawk is FSX native. You can see the rotorhead shadow on the engine top cowling.

The Sea Knight is also native, based on the shots.

But are its intakes...clipping through the fuselage?

Yep, tried the Huey demo and it is native FSX. I quite like it, partly because it is simple and very inexpensive (20% off right now).

Thanks for the HU.
