Hauksbee 103 Posted January 6, 2012 Tonight I followed an ad link on our main page here, and took a look at a trailer for "Heros In The Sky". Suddenly, in all the flash and snazzle of the air combat, an F5U zipped by. I don't see HIS as being my cup of tea, but was wondering if any of you have come across this plane in any other flight sim... and if so, how did it fly?

Well.. some ideas are simply better off left on paper... Like this psycho... sorry for the 'tanget line' on this subject, but you get the idea... extremes are always dangerous to play with.

+streakeagle 870 Posted January 6, 2012 If they had ever gotten it up in the air, it might have turned out to be an awesome fighter. But jets came along and obsoleted all prop fighters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Monty CZ 209 Posted January 6, 2012 Hello all actualy I was interested in this concept some time ago and I think that the idea was not bad, but they didnt have technologies we have now, so the plane was difficult to fly. What if we build similar plane today? with computers, FBW, turboprop engine. I think that it would be simplier than MV-22 (Osprey, tilt rotor) but stil have stol capabilities it wouldnt be fighter of course but good for CAS missions you can see here what I tried in strike fighters: http://combatace.com/topic/62719-since-there-is-no-what-if-forum-for-sf2/ Monty CZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Yes, but has anyone here ever seen it in another sim, and, hopefully, flown it? (I imagine the flight model would be very hypothetical) Nice model there, Monty CZ. Though I suspect that it, and the F5U, would have terrible downward visibility Edited January 6, 2012 by Hauksbee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
