December 13, 20205 yr Yes we do need helicopters. How else do you expect to practice your wizardry? 😝
December 13, 20205 yr That was a smoother and more precise landing than I could ever do in a helicopter. Is it done yet? When will it be released? Will it be freeware or payware? How much will it cost? Any updates on the progress? Will it work for Xbox? Can I be a beta tester? How's the performance in VR?

December 14, 20205 yr Hmmm, let me think.... Yes, we do, it's a completely different beach ... But since you're at "sustained relative wind flight", here ya go: Flying N701GV Backwards - YouTube Flying Backwards in a Cessna 172 - YouTube 🙂 Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
December 14, 20205 yr 16 hours ago, Glenn Fitzpatrick said: Absolutely no basis in any real life aircraft whatsoever No, but it's a credible imagining of a highly customized bush plane. Nothing that's been done to it couldn't be done in real life by a sufficiently motivated person with enough money, and examples of planes in this vein, if not exactly like this, are plenty. (Check out any extreme STOL competition videos on YouTube.) GotGravel recently declined to put a stupidly large engine in this because it simply wouldn't be credible, but the engine modeled in the latest version is real and has been stuffed into a KitFox. Our own @cavaricooper has spent a lot of time with this, too, and given them some advice on improving its tail-dragger characteristics. So, yes, me flying this probably has about as much basis in reality as the prospect of me owning a TBM or one of the other bigger planes in the sim, but for one reason only: I lack the money to dedicate to such an enterprise. 😂
