Honestly can't see why MV went for a Beaver but I'm sure they know what they're doing. Happily for me.. my card is safe

What in the world for? They were way under powered and with any load at all it took way too much distance to get off the water. Check Mitre 10 Catalogue and Officeworks Catalogue.If I got off at all.
The Aerosoft Beaver . Good point. They have been making promises for several years now. Have you seen any results? ME NEITHER.

WOW-------awesome!

I really, really hope some 2-blade versions will also be made?

Also, the Beaver had hard points under the wings. It would be great if these could be modeled, and also made available for dropping items (for instance parachute supplies), using either the default droppable items code, or even TacPack.

amazing texturing

***Bushpounder*** · October 26th, 2015, 13:30

I hope they are going to do straight floats. Most float Beavers have straight floats.

**Aircanuck** · October 26th, 2015, 13:36

***jankees*** · October 26th, 2015, 22:44

I agree.
Untill now it looks great.

Hello,
it's a WIP still but I'd like to share the new pictures of incoming DHC-2 from MV in the sim environment.

**henrystreet** · July 2nd, 2016, 04:41

+1 Really looking forward to this one!

***Bushpounder*** · July 2nd, 2016, 04:56

I hope it's being tested by a r/w Beaver pilot. Beavers do NOT fly like a regular plane. Looks GREAT!! Any idea on time? Approx.!!

I am tremendously excited about this Milviz rendition of the Beaver!

However, I am a little confused as to the small vertical stabilisers on the horizontal tail plane for the "Landing Gear" version??
Please correct me if I am wrong but I have never seen these on the gear version, only on the float versions.

Cheers,
Tim...

This airplane has a lot of modifications

Those are "Kenmore fins" and you are correct in that they are intended for planes with floats.

Many Beavers switch between floats for the summer and wheels (sometimes with skis) for the winter. It is not uncommon for those planes to have the Kenmore fins on all year long.

The Kenmore fins replace the ventral fin under the tail on older Beavers equipped with floats.

cheers,
Lane

PS. Will this Beaver have tip tanks as an option?

***Sundog*** · July 2nd, 2016, 10:09

Thanks for the previews, it's looking great. I;m so looking forward to this release.

**Timmy74** · July 2nd, 2016, 15:39

Thank you for clearing that up for me Yo-Yo and Lane.

Cheers,
Tim.

**musterpilot** · July 2nd, 2016, 17:01

This one has the fins on the tail
I will be getting a repaint of this one done when it comes out

**MustangL2W** · July 2nd, 2016, 17:15

Can't Wait!! Would be cool to see MILVIZ do a Noorduyn Norseman to "Bookend" the Beaver. Both are Legendary in the Bush. (I used to have a deHavilland Tshirt that said "Legendary in the Bush")

**Boss86001** · July 2nd, 2016, 20:55

The Beaver is looking great! Very excited to get this bird.

im sure you will now give me a stern talking to about how wrong i am..so have at it....

Just go over to the OrbX forum. You can get banned for negative comments quite easily.
On the subject here, this looks like a good job on the Beaver.
