    The YF-23 is one of the COOLEST looking birds EVER!!! I was so sad when the YF-22 won.

    I have high hopes for this one! The model looks great.

    I also love the economic relief pricing. I will definitely be picking this up when it comes out.

    Black is a hard texture to do, but that looks to be about the best rendition of a black aircraft I've seen. Very cool.

    Please tell me there will be a repaint kit, there are lots of fictional schemes I'd love to do for the YF-23.

    Hello Chuck,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
    <o></o>
    In the screenshots on your website the HUD looks good, with a working flight path marker. My question is: Will the HUD be stabilized like that of the Aerosoft F-16, in the sense that the symbology stays in the correct position relative to the outside world even if you move your head slightly?<o></o>
    And I cannot help asking…… do you consider using the knowledge you gained with this plane to one day develop her competitor as well: the F-22 Raptor?<o></o>
    I am very much looking forward to meeting this widow, and have dug up the material I have about her to re-read it.

    It’s probable , i have been passing the knowhow on to aircraft producers to have the reticules and HUD's do that , the FW190 from Mathias and Ronnie at Razbam recently received the Maxfiles and instructions in their use.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

    My own plans were to go one step further and have the Horizon Indicator stay fixed on the horizon , for no other reason than it hasn’t been done yet (afaik) .
    I had been troubleshooting a couple of upcoming releases during a visit to my place this week by another Montreal FS production house and within an hour i had solved a couple of long standing questions and so had some free time to look over the YF-23 and its systems, click on some keypad buttons and admire the flexible mesh animations on the rubber bits when he mentioned that the HUD didn’t follow the horizon , and that nobody has done that yet ... there is nothing more attractive than doing it first .. <o></o>
    <o></o>

    Regarding the F-22 , Colin mentioned that it has been started and that’s my favourite production fighter so with any luck at all i will get the chance to complete that one as well , but there are a rather large number of aircraft in the hanger to be done first , and not all of them military.<o></o>

    Thanks, this sounds very encouraging! By the way, VRS have a splendid stabilized HUD for their FS2004 F/A-18E Super Hornet also. Might be useful to know (if you did not already).<o></o>

    I installed the stabilized HUD this evening , you were the second person to ask about that today and third this week so i figured i better get it done .

    After studying the lines of this bird, I wish they would have chosen it too, looks just wicked!

    These cutting edge planes represent some awesome technology, and I'm chomping at the bit to acquire and fly the models...nice work! However, for nostalgia and a change of pace, howza'bout a Century series fighter, like say, the F-100 Super Sabre.
