Yes... with the incredible Super DC-3 in the books, it's time for MJ and Team to do a complete A1-Reset of the Howard 500.

The Milton project was great... but time has fractured the plane into many versions, and not all are compatible with FSX and DX10.

So I beg and Plead with the MJ team... Please... PLEASE... Start a Howard 500 project.

Why the 500? Simple. The single greatest GA aircraft of all time. 300+ knots, style, and giant ROUND engines.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hawk.

Hawk, I agree. It would be great to see a Howard 500 done properly for the latest sims. My original project started in 2004 and was released in 2005. Although there have been "refreshes", those patches did little to enhance the base product. So, I'm in support of anyone who loves the aircraft enough to take it on. I do have lots of reference material and data from the former pilot and restorer on the aircraft (, but unfortunately, no good 3-views,) that I would gladly share.
