Hello again,

i was wondering if there are any good SkyCrane helis out there for FSX... with the new sling loading capabilities of Acceleration, it would be a very fun chopper to fly

if there aren't any, i would consider commiting myself to making one... but college has me by the balls right now, so it would be at best a slow project  ;)

Cheers

There is one (payware) in development. Thats all I - and most certainly anyone in the public knows for now. ;)

And by the way, I love the message beneath your avatar! ;)

Although it does not use FSX's sling load capability, I happen to like the SkyCrane from Hovercontrol (http://64.34.169.161/cgi-bin/ifolio/ima ... ters&img=9).  It is for FS9 though and I have yet to try it in FSX.  There are some models included with loads slung beneath.

An-225 is right. There is a payware CH-54 Tarhe due to be released early this summer. It is expected to be available for $25-$30 and will come with 5 textures.
1. United States Army-Camo
2. Unites States Army-Camo&Aluminium
3. United States Coast Guard
4. Erickson AirCrane-Orange
5. What If? RNZAF-White&Red
