Blackhawk S-70A question

Postby gary42127 » Sun Nov 18, 2007 1:35 pm

This is a question about the Sikorsky S-70A V1 package, downloaded here.

In this package, the "General" section lists the empty weight as 11,744lbs and the max gross weight as 22,000lbs.  However, the "Weight and Balance" section lists the weights as 1760lbs and 3200lbs.  If you change the weight & balance figures to match those in the general section, the Blackhawk won't lift off the ground.  

Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Thanks

Those are the exact values for the default Bell 206B.  I would suggest that the visuals are of the Blackhawk, but the flight dynamics are that of the default Bell 206B

Do you know of any .air files specifically for the Blackhawk?

I am aware of one - but it's payware, and it would not be proper of me to provide it.

If you want a blackhawk... get the abacus Blackhawk Mission Pack.
But for a really really really really really really (Enough reallies???) good Seahawk / Jayhawk get the Aerosoft pack.
