Howard 500 for FS2002 Released ...

[Milton]

... to Simviation, Avsim, and Flightsim for those of you who still enjoy FS2002. :-)  Both VC and No-VC versions are available.

The retrofit was the toughest we've done, over 100 hours to downgrade and backout of FS2004 features and differences.

We hope you enjoy it. :-)

Yeah thanks Milton, and your team for sure, for releasing it for FS2002, too. I

Downloaded it last night, and the "Auto installer" worked just fine.
The 2D cockpit is amazing with an array of switches, buttons and levers enough to keep any pilot  happy... ...!
The external and internal textures are lovely, and she's also a great plane for short-field take-offs and landings...!
Highly recommended for FS 2002 enthusiasts... ...!
Well done lads.....!

Paul.

P.S. Shift+Ctrl + C/V to open/close the engine cowls... ..!

[Mr.Mugel]

Yeah, and i too like the Sound very much,  but not as much as the Virtual Cockpit, which is quite amazing.

Well done Milton, you and your team.

I downloaded it and it's beautiful.  Thank you! Also, the autoinstaller worked perfectly.

I found your website, but forgot to bookmark it and now I can't find it again.  Can you tell me the URL?

Thanks again.

Milton,

Thank you again for making the Howard available.  It is so good that I downloaded a Commander and a Dash 7, too.

I am very impressed that these are available as freeware.

That Howard 500 is the best twin-prop plane I've ever downloaded! It has excellent sounds, FDs, textures and panels. Thank goodness I have high speed internet, or I would have never downloaded it.

PS. the Dash 7 and Commander are great too.

I have uploaded the FS2002 Howard 500 Bare Metal textures and Cargo version tonight to Simviation and Avsim.

This adds a bare metal passenger version texture and the Cargo model and textures in bare metal.

Filename is: hw5c2.zip

You FS2002 guys thought I left you behind on this one, didn't you?

Thanks for all the nice comments.  We really appreciate that. :-)

The AC500 Aero Commander is the latest of that series and has over 100 improvements over the 520, 560, and 680.  THe VC is awesome.  There is also a "dirty" cargo version of the AC500 which received the Flightsim Developers Award.

Also, on the Howard, if you haven't discovered, the cargo door key sequence (shift+e, release then 2) opens the animated curtains in both versions and the cockpit door in the VC.

There is also a new Dash 7 coming: http://www.flightsimonline.com/Dash74

... but not before we release the Shrike: http://www.flightsimonline.com/Shrike

Have fun guys ;-)
