Well when times are tough, it's time to think outside the square...what was that about beating ploughshears into swords??

we've gotta get one of these for FS :jump:

Makes more sense in CFS. :jump:

Is there a FS2002/FS2004 Airtractor? A conversion with MDLC, a new texture set and a new .dp file could create one of these for CFS2; I guess the spraybars would still be there, though.

Brian Gladden did a series of Air Tractors a few years back. I know they were on AvSim, maybe somewhere else too. I'll look on Flightsim...

Only found one of them, but it might be the best candidate for conversion.

I've never done any CFS-2 aircraft but if someone want's to convert one. I can share my FSDS source files for the Air Tractor....

I think that'll be pretty popular in Central and South America.

Nuke the corn! Nuke the barley! :redfire:

I remember the Brian Gladden Air Tractors. I'm sure they were freeware. However if they are no longer available as such you can always get them here:
