| 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 ***

Is there a way to trim this heli? I want to be able to trim the heli and give my hand a break.... I have try elevator trim, and rotor trim and it has no effect on the controls.
Quassel89
A really great project.
The helicopter can be flyed great
And the additional gimics complete the whole thing.
Keep it up and thanks.

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! 😊

i was "one of them guys" lol and i have the xe all converted, just working on some other edits and upgrades atm
mmatt 6 month(s) ago
You (and the other guys) rock dude! I'm looking forward to it; thanks so much for all you do for the community! 😊

please update the mosquito to the native flight model. thank you.

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.
HCG 8 month(s) 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 😊
Cave07
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.

Thanks for this heli... 😊
but how install it?
I mean....
The folder: 'hcg-mosquito-xe' I suppose in the Comunity folder, is ok?
but the file 'airlandfs_Mosquito XE.cfg'... where? in what folder?
(sorry my english)
HCG 12 month(s) ago
the easiest answer, is put the airland file in your community folder, it should autoload when you open airlandFS, if not just manually load the file into airland! For more questions or support please visit the discord channel, i can not always guarantee a speedy or reply at all on here! Thanks!
DaniJariDCR 12 month(s) ago
but... what is 'airlandFS'?
DarthPatzer 11 month(s) ago
Same problem for me, where is this file ?
HCG 11 month(s) ago
IT IS IN THE MAIN ZIP FILE, along with release notes

Thank you for all your amazing work, my favourite of all planes and helicopters!
HCG 1 year(s) ago
thank you very much for that, i'm happy most people can respect the work we devs put into these projects for you all! Comments like yours are the reason I keep going! Come visit on Discord if you want to! Thanks again! 😊
Tobybton 1 year(s) ago
Thank you ,I may. Unfortunatly i have no skills in modelling but maybe i can help with something!
HCG 1 year(s) ago
no need to help out, just come hang out! either way you are appreciated!
MiklosBM
Thanks, great!
criello70
very nice helo. i would like to see this work without the airland fs. i never liked "extra programs" running in background.
yceQy 1 year(s) ago
Well, usually you run them anyway - for this or any other sim including DCS.
If you simply don't like to start one up explicitly, then you have a point, but if you are against running a third party code, I'd suggest to stay away from flight sims altogether - unless you are fine with using the default "flight models".
HCG 1 year(s) ago
thanks alot! I know its a pain using extra addons to fly, but for the time being most all the helis are using AFS, so until msfs releases a native heli system or I find another solution, We will be using AFS! (btw.. AFS is an amazing addon, and without it and the devs hard work creating it, we would not have all the helis we currently do! So if you have not already, maybe take a minute to go thank the creator of airlandFS for his excellent work! He is a fantastic person and deserves a great deal of thanks! )

Is the XEL model not updated, discontinued or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks and sorry if is a dumb question.
HCG 1 year(s) ago
Thanks!, the XE/XEL is all in 1 model, as per directions in description , to add the floats, add 15 lbs to the payload (7 kgs) there is a slot named Floats there! hope that helps!
HCG 1 year(s) ago
feel free to visit us on Discord, nice group of people there! and you can also get updates and new test projects i'm working on that are only available there!
zaelu 1 year(s) ago
Thank you! I missed that instruction!
lenynaise
When i tried to take off it didn't fly for some reason.
HCG 1 year(s) ago
Do you have AirlandFS ?
lenynaise 1 year(s) ago
no, that must explain why it didnt work
HCG 1 year(s) ago
ya buddy, you need that to run these helis!
mykrode
Huge props to you for your dedication for chipping away at this project in your free time since the release. I just got home from work and did a nice little flight in your newest version and Im beyond thrilled with what you got so far HCG. Excited to see where you take it next!
HCG 1 year(s) ago
thanks very much my friend, thanks for your help and support also!!!

Turn off all "G force" settings in options, as is recomended with all the helis, the pilot is passing out, that setting must be turned off!
Vliegfanaat1206 1 year(s) ago
thanks hcg it works now

thanks, maybe consider leaving me a rating!

I have been fly your Mosquito since v_0.2b. Love all the versions, but my favourite AirlandFS profile was the one several versions back called AirlandFS_MosquitoXE_2. They are all good though. I do have one comment on your latest v_0.3b, the airspeed gauge reads 8 knots at stationary, so it's kind of hard to gauge your speed when flying very slow, especially approach to landing. Much appreciated if you can take a look at this issue.
HCG 1 year(s) ago
i can see if that profile still exists, but it may be deprecated since the latest updates! also, was there possibly any wind blowing at all when the gauge read 8knt? i believe it is calculating the windspeed (i had mine doing 30 on ground lol!) ill change the code next time to see if hat fixes it! Also, i know you are on my discord, so it is easier for me if all questions are sent there! that way others can help with your questions when im not able!! Lots of great devs and knowledgeable people there! Thanks dds!
ddsmak 1 year(s) ago
I will discuss in Discord in the future. Don't worry about the older profile, I have it and used it on v_03b and it worked.
