    Mosquito XE/L Helicopter(AirlandFS Version) - Image 1

    Description

    Thanks for trying my helicopter! This is my first attempt at making an aircraft for the game so there are going to be issues that need fixing so please be considerate of this! 
    I am woking on this by myself thus far so progress may be a bit slow especially since I am learning everything as I go!

    ****Without AirlandFS, none of this would be possible, so, Thank you very much Fred! ***

    *** THIS VERSION IS FOR USE WITH AIRLANDFS AND IS NOT RECEIVING FURTHER UPDATES. HOWEVER, LOOK OUT FOR THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY MOSQUITO XE/L ***

    this is the old version that requires using the airlandFS app. It is no longer supported or used since the sim added native helicopters. Please download the latest model here - https://flightsim.to/file/46580/mosquito-xe-xel-40th-anniversary-version

    Is there any chance that you will be updating this to run on the new native helicopter flight model? I see the guys that did the R44 did and it flies great. I'd love to see this updated as well so that we don't need the Airland program anymore. Thanks! :-)

    Would you consider making an enhanced payware version of this one day? I'd be interested. This one as it is, is a bunch of fun.

    over 3 years ago

    i had thouts of possibly doing something like that sometime, but didnt think it be worth it.., i have other paywares im working on atm, but i will certainly consider your request! Thanks :)

    Some reason the helicopter spawns in with no doors, and the door enable button seems to be disabled, how do I get the doors? Other than that, love the aircraft.

    I really enjoy this helicopter. Thank you for your great work! Here is a cinematic showcase I made to celebrate it.
