Flying Boat/Helicopter Ability?

[Biggles]

In CFS3 is it possible to have flying boats and helicopters as 3rd party addons?
Thanks...

I haven't seen any difinitive details, but I understand that helo's are out (no .air file being possible) and flying boats are in.

I was kinda hoping that helo's would be possible...I had plans for a very cool hypothetical late war Luftwaffe attack chopper.

I understand that Helos where possible in CFS2 though. Why not CFS3? Or is this just because you could have joint addons between FS2002 and CFS2?

CFS 3 uses a whole new engine so it's possible that the devs didn't think that we needed helo ability.

Well i think its just a shame that we can't have helo's.  What the hell!!! I think that was kind of close minded of developers to just not have hover abilitly.  I've always enjoyed hovering over airfields.  I could only imagine what it would look like hovering next to one of the cruiser's in cfs3 as its shooting its cannons.  I get a glimpse of it as i fly over head but it would look really cool if you could be 30 ft or so from them cannons blasting.  I think its a shame, they spent so much time making ground effects and vehicles that much better than previous versions.  Helo's would allow us to thoroughly enjoy them.


Also quick question anyone know of a better tutural than the SDK from cfs3insider.  I'm makeing new missions and i am a little confused with some of the terms and details of mission crafting.  I do have one new mission done and its quite exeptional!!!! If anyone wants a copy of it Please Email me at karsten@adelphia.net   Ive done some testing and everything seems to work.  My only sweat is that Mission goals and points aren't quite giveing the reaction i want.  thx again and I love this game!!!!
