If anyone has the FSD O-2A and 337, you can see the differences between the two airplanes. Personally I like the O-2A better. If you strip the radios out and put 2 extra seats in, you get one hotrod of an airplane. The "Little Black Planes" were a huge reason so many airmen were recovered during Vietnam alive. Without them helping to spot enemy positions and help to bring in overwhelming air support to keep them at bay, the HH-3 "Jolly Greens" would've had one heck of a time getting in and out safely. Even then, they still frequently took small arms fire.

I do. And I'll tell ya something Mr Trotteldee
I won't buy anything else from them. That model and the Saratoga were advertised as made for FSX models. But they're quasi FSX. There were a number of issues with black out windows, guage apperance at night or day or in between I can't remember and a few switches on the VC panel that wouldn't move.
same kinda problems that port overs have.

anyway I figured out how to make the switches move in the VC without making any changes to the model config file.

So I wrote them an email an explained my problems which they made up some ad hominems ... *-) and I believe a non sequitur or two. which I disproved in an email back to them. And then they write back to me and reverse themselves. And then I write back to them and say cheya wu ev'a 8) . " anyway...you know that problem with the switches not working in the VC?, I firgured out a way to make them to function as intended".. (Light switches and some avionics switches I think.. )
anyway they never wrote me back. So ... No soup for them.

sorry for going OT , but it's all Trotts fault. :)

Anyway If I can get around that wrapper.. :cpu:
