AT802F "Fire Boss" Amphib and the "Air Tanker" soon to be released by FSN Development

pilotdave1970 · October 13th, 2010, 09:38

I am proud to announce the line of Air Tractors for FSX SP2/Acceleration will be made by Flight Sim Nation Development Group. A very powerful single engine turbine plane. This aircraft is used for firefighting which is the AT-802 Fire Boss, there are two other versions, a crop spraying version and a military version packed with armament. Our plans are to release every version that Air Tractor has made. All of these planes will be packed with fully functional VC's and missions to keep you busy fighting fires and spraying crops, an integrated grading system will be included to give you your score. Missions will be consistently released.

The exciting part is that we have real life Air Tractor Pilots BETA testing the aircraft so that our planes are as close to exact as we can get, including the sounds. I have had the privilege to fly it and the turbines just scream. Turn up your speakers and enjoy this bad boy.

Please email me if you have any questions, comments or requests for this plane. We will keep you updated on it.

I look forward to the crop dusting variants! Seen her spraying trees for gypsy moths (I think) in a state park before. Really really cool.

very very interesting...

I think this plane looks extremely promising. Looking forward to flying it myself one day. The fact you have pilots testing is a major help in that decision..

You'll have no problems updating us all in this forum. We welcome bona fide developers for our hobby

You guys are bringing back memories when i used to operate the AT-802 or other SEAT's. Thank you guys. I look forward to this package. Time to have us some fun! Oh and dont forget the Taildraggin AT-802 fire fighting version.

From the look of things, you must have experienced developers in your team for that project. I have seen the fire bomber and crop duster here in Spain, but never an amphibian version!

Although having a real world 'type rated' pilot is a very good thing, having about half a dozen 'nit-picking', awkward and very hard to please beta desktop virtual pilots will score you just as much kudos in the FS world.

We appreciate all feedback as well. We are planning on releasing all variants of the Air Tractor ever made. On December 15 we will plan on releasing the "Fire Boss" and the Wheeled Version of the "Fire Boss" or the "Air Tanker". A mission will come out for each aircraft.

I will keep you guys posted as information comes available.

Thanks guys

We will be producing them all.

This looks very interesting.

There are about 30 AT-802's operating in Australia but I don't think any of them are amphibian or fire fighting (while we have a lot of fires in Australia we don't have many lakes to fill up from). Mostly they are crop dusters (probably flat out right now attacking the locust plague) so I hope you guys do a crop duster version.

That is for sure in the plans to make the AT-802 Ag version. The Ag or Crop Duster version will be next after the two Firefighting planes. Then we will do the military version the 802U with all the armament. We are covering every Air Tractor ever made.

Looking forward to these. I hope you include the two seat SEAT (Tanker) version as well. Forest protection limited in Newfoundland has several of this version. I had a few nice E-mail's with their chief pilot a while back when I released my FS 2004 Fire Boss/SEAT and Duster.
