Airwolf meets FSX

Airwolf as portrayed was an awesome chopper ( own the entire series ), but yeah, the copyright owners on it have always been impossible to deal with..
 
Well, I downloaded and installed Airwolf X last night.. First impressions are mixed.. Version 2 is definitely better than Version 1 visually, but the VC could still use some TLC. I'm not really qualified to say anything about how it flies. Its a chopper and therefore different from anything ive ever worked on. But it does sit flat in a hover. After that it can get a little strange for me, but thats probably because i dont know how to fly it more than anything else.

I wonder?? Since this is a freeware model, and since its made by fans, doesnt that fall under the fair use laws?? As long as its freeware, Universal shouldnt have a single word to say to anyone except a big thank you to all its supporters for loving the show.

Wow, that sounds fantastic! What's the story behind being on set? Did you work on the show? Know someone?

I think these folks in the "Real World" seriously overestimate the sales potential for FS models...

Actually, on reflection I should have also included "most simmers" in the above as well. Flightsim aircraft and/or scenery rarely achieve total sales of more than one thousand copies... :blind:

The more "universal" products such as mesh, landclass, water, weather, et cetera however have a much better chance of higher sales numbers, but even then it remains a tiny fraction of the total number of flightsim sales.
 
Perhaps on a related subject of fictional Hollywood helicopters, a Blue Thunder helicopter for FSX? Maybe the upcoming UKMIL Gazelle modified to look like Blue Thunder? Just a thought.
