tennyson Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Isn't that the commercial version of the osprey? Great idea, but the wilco version seems a little lacking in realism, don't you think? Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Frank, just wondering what sort of realism you are talking about? Cheers The real thing... Wilco's version The real thing again Wilco...

tennyson Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 No. I don't mean that the aircraft isn't professional and complex. It's hard to put my finger on it. Maybe I am talking about the textures. They just don't look as smooth as some of the other commercial aircraft available. I also think they could have ditched the female model in the cabin. It is false looking (IMO) and detracts from the realistic look of the interior. I have flown the Osprey model from FS9 and it was fun to fly, so I'm not saying I wouldn't buy it, but for my money, I'd probably spend my dollars on a Spitfire or the Dornier (there is realism, look at that windscreen!).

kiwikat Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Is this going to have a true FSX model compiled with the FSX compiler or will it be a (useless to me) portover like the rest of Wilco's products? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Mason Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Kiwi I believe this will be FSX native as there is no model for FS9 from before as this is still in testing in RL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingblind Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Interesting, I've always found the idea of Tilt-rotors appealing, depart via a Short Take Off and land same. Not too sure if this bird has the ability to Takeoff/land vertically though, i think the engine nacelles are a tad longer than allowable ground clearance. I'm not too sure if the Osprey can Depart/Land vertically either, as for brush fires caused by the close proximity of the hot exhaust gases torching tinder dry Australian summer grass....i've actually seen a helicopter do this, no fire but you could clearly see the exhaust marks on the grass. Question is would these babies be allowed to operate on total fire ban days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to u-Choob and search for... "BA-609 Display - Farnborough Air Show 2008" - It has some answers for you. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
