I have just had a notification as well. As expected, GotFriends will be very active jumping on any issues - they are excellent developers, even on their freeware - they never abandon it. Even the freeware Savage Grravel has had so many updates and improvements I have lost count. It is an excellent aircraft. Note also that, when Asobo make a change to the sim, like prop CFD, they go back add add that capability (even in their freeware). This is unlike some 'established' payware developers I could mention. I really do hope they do well out of this financially as it will encourage them to develop other aircraft. I know they love their bush aircraft, but I would love them to venture out into mainstream GA to show what they can do - there are still plenty of gaps. I would love to see something like a Grumman AA-5, or even a small commuter such as a Piper Navajo - which I really miss from the sim.

Once it hits the marketplace it should do well. If they get permission and have the time to do a variant of Patey's Draco they will likely have a runaway hit on their hands. The issue with direct sales is most people who buy direct seem to be enthusiasts and enthusiasts are likely to already have a hanger full of Stuff like the Husky and Zenith and hence are in no rush to add another STOL straight away.

December 11, 20223 yr Personally Im more into flying it than analysing projected sales. Ive had a few flights now and I've yet to find anything that kerbs my enjoyment, it's got the balance of handling qualities, systems depth (ok its a simple machine in that department but modelled well) and visuals just about right imo and is fast becoming a favourite. P.S. definately noticed the slower oil temp rise after the update, shutting the oil cooler flaps till warmed up is now a must do thing Edited December 11, 20223 yr by Pathfinder633

Call we weird but I'd actually prefer a normal Wilga 2000 with a Lycoming Engine to the Draco. The Draco is fun no doubt but for some reason practical Wilga designs just appeal to me more 🙂

Here in Australia, Wilga refers to a native tree similar in appearance to the European Willow tree and it is extremely common in the bush in outback NSW and Queensland.

I've no interest in a Draco its an entirely different machine
