Just remember, FS2004 is not capable of replicating vectored thrust.  Therefore, the V22 will either be a fixed-wing or a helicopter but NOT both. Rotating the nacelles into the vertical position won't make it happen. I know it SHOULD...but it WON'T.

There is a payware model available ($20 USD for the download link and $30 USD for a CDpackage) there are some pics of it in the payware section under the title UH1Z King Cobra and in the section on "I need help editing a CFG" under my name.

I made a few modifications (as you can see in the payware screenshots section). Placed the lights in correct positions, added a Rocket file so that I can fire rockets off the loadout HELLFIRE sytle. and last but least I changed the soundfile to give it authentic Cobra rotating blades sound! They are loud as hell and I like it! Feels so damn real!

Seems to me, for that much you should at least get an accurate aircraft!  It irks me that there is so much payware out there that I wouldn't download for free, EVER!

I hear ya EnderBaron,

The website I got this from doesn't provide a email contact so that you can give them positive or negative feedback. I would have told them a thing or two.

But in the end the main part of the model (the Aircraft) was accurate (exterior and Interior) was accurate. it just came with a few quirks that were correctable. I really always liked this version of the Huey Cobra and I am much satisfied with what I am flying right now!

But i figure $20 isn't much to ask for the hours of work the creator probably put into making this aircraft. I know how difficult it is because I put some months into creating a F14 Tomcat for FS2002 and it never got off the ground because I didn't have enough skills to animate and paint it. All I designed was the body and weapons. So I don't feel like I was ripped off at all!

If anyone out there has this payware aircraft and would be interested in my alterations give me a buzz. It is a download away! Freeware upgrade!

What's the weblink for the site where you got the AH-1Z?

Once I get it, I'll drop you a line to get the mods you made.
