Hi Guys
Been on this one for a couple of months and now i am pretty sure it will eventually get released (sometime between now and Christmas "IF" possible).
Other models in progress too but no details till i am 100% that they will be finished as i have shot myself in the foot with previews too many times
(Oi! who knicked my headslap Emoticon? :sad: )
[Edit: By Ben]
you mean this one Rick :doho:
FS9 & FSX and it flies like a Helicopter should
Not sure on liveries but currently UK SAR & Royal Australian Navy.
Regards
Rick

Hi Guys
Thanks for the comments
i forgot to mention the pack will also contain Luftwaffe SAR & UK Army
& possibly more with Belgium AF too with no winch.
Also high probability of the Prototype Mk 3a that BEA trialed for a year or two.
But that is not a 100% in stone thing yet as if it does get done it will have a non correct Mk.14 VC as the 3a was very differently fitted inside the cockpit with left seat pilot etc not right seat like the Mk.14.
But nobody else is making a Sycamore for now so it should suffice.
In my view is much better model wise than even my favorite the Chipmunk & 748 so it should gain a few fans when released.
Regards
Rick

That looks stunning Rick, I just have to say thank you for taking the time to work on these and release them as freeware.

hi rick.
I am not a helicopter fan myself,but with a model that good,i might just be converted.
And if its better than your hs748 and chipmunk,then it will be firstclass,well done,and i cannot wait to see,the others your working on,no matter what they are,they too will be well worth the wait.
regards alan.
