The real thing is not as roomy on the inside, and no "window seat" available at check-in.

Do not worry, the model will modify it for me, i do not expect this exact 100%, it is enough for me

**CIMOGT** · October 23rd, 2017, 03:42

The model is based on the Rick Sasala C-2 A

Are you converting it to FSX native? That would be wonderful.

**PhantomP** · October 23rd, 2017, 09:40

Could I please get a copy if it's no problem?Thanks

I have been working on textures for the C2A Greyhound from Abacus Flight Deck 5 for myself but problem with sharing is you gotta have FD5 or FD6 Greyhound. I would be happy to do some repaints from my artwork onto your Greyhound like the photo of the one I did of VRC 40 #41 and share with ya all here.

There are just 2 window seats. I was lucky enough to get one of them on my flight off USS KITTY HAWK.

Have only flown off the CVA-66 USS America in the C1A COD and in the UH2C Seasprite. From land I had a number of flights in the P3 Orion and a UH1B Huey at NAS Glenview and a C-9 from Glenview to North Island and back my last ACDUTRA in RIMPAC 93. Everything else has been civilian aircraft small to big. Never had a chance to fly in a C-2 or an E2.

**JosefK** · October 23rd, 2017, 18:36

Thanks for updating the C-2. Hope we get the 6-blade version, but that's me. Great VC, BTW.

This is the 8 blade version

***Victory103*** · October 23rd, 2017, 19:14

Really nice job, Rick's models (C-2/E-2, EA-6B, Gulfstream) got much use in FS2k2 and FS9 from. Funny all the things I wished for have come true (moving boats, in-flight refueling...)

**JosefK** · October 23rd, 2017, 19:14

Great news!

For refueling, i modify a kc135 and add the boom operator position, and other things as the vc, maybe later add a post

Really looking forward to this release here. It was so disappointing when Vertigo Studios stopped development of their C-2. Since this is the 8 blade scimitar version I'll look around for some new photos of VRC-40 and VRC-30 for some texture inspiration later this week.

**Dino Cattaneo** · October 24th, 2017, 23:46

...for the record, I had started a C-2 / E-2 payware project, too. Preliminary work does not look bad at all... but as usual my problem is lack of time. The project has not been canceled (at least for now) but it is unlikely I'll have something to share until late 2018 :-(

**expat** · October 25th, 2017, 01:20

Good news Dino. With Virtavia making their E-2 exclusive to steam, we are really in need of a native P3Dv4/FSX Hawkeye model. Will be worth the wait.

**tgycgijoes** · October 25th, 2017, 05:53

With the quality of your work in the past, Dino, it will be worth the wait for sure. As you mentioned "payware" there is definitely room for both freeware as here and a payware that is NOT Steam or Dovetail Games but available through the regular vendors like PCAviator etc.

I'll wait for you Dino, no worries.

**Tool** · October 27th, 2017, 04:32

Yeah Dino, waiting for you is no problem at all. All of your work is outstanding!

**simulloyd** · October 29th, 2017, 11:00

I think most would agree that any aircraft Dino releases will be worth the wait.

Regarding the Steam only E-2 Hawkeye. Can anyone shed light on why this decision was made? Did Virtavia expect to make a killing on this exclusive approach?

**tgycgijoes** · March 1st, 2018, 16:10

Still patiently waiting for you to finish. When you do I am considering starting a virtual VRC-30 group of simmers. PM me if you might be interested since its a lot of work to do it right and I have in the past done a couple ending with one pilot, me. This time. Apologies didn't mean to hijack this thread.
