Microsoft Flight Simulator - Airwolf (Asobo Flight Model)

[@knightwolf200612]

Awesome project man, by far the most accurate Airwolf I've ever seen. The biggest problem is even the simple outline shapes that everybody makes wrong. This is near perfect! I never had MSFS but as a true Airwolf lover I can only love this project :)

[@cptairwolf]

Thank you for the feedback! I will admit that I've had several airwolf fans lend their support and keen eyes to fix many details I got wrong on earlier versions :)

[@moiggc]

I must say, the model looks accurate and realistic - from the details to the color. If you're looking for testers, I'm probably in front of the que.... looking forward to that Alpha! I immensely appreciate the effort you put into this project and I wholeheartedly believe you'll reap some just rewards. Thanks fro the update!!

She looks amazing! I'm looking forward to flying her

[@kclark4920]

Can't wait for the finished product! Keep up the great work.

Airwolf both inside and out will be awesome, looking great already, thanks!

Can't wait to get my hands on this Alpha, defiantly will be worth paying for! Can't wait to see more updates! Such talent

[@paullucas7079]

as a big airwolf fan im very impressed with this and the work you have done well done i cant wait for this to come out and i look farward to trying her out its about time we had someone doing this keep up the good work

[@scp_foundation05]

Found this from a video on futuristic aircraft from movies when i saw this geli with jet engines machine guns and rocket launchers i wanted to see if it was on msfs and im really excited for this. This looks so cool i cant wait

[@alexbroskow2108]

Looks so Amazing this project buddy, this bad boy has so many memorys to me....cant wait to buy and fly it^^ insane^^

[@justincase6151]

This is the best looking model thus far. Perhaps some day we can have a screen accurate Redwolf as well. Count me in on the alpha release!

[@5mudgee]

Good Job 👍..hope that the sounds are just as good with the distinctive howling Airwolf has while on the ground idling

[@RavenCroft75]

Airwolf with no turbos is like McDonalds with no hamburgers... I loved the video and I can't wait to get my hands on her. I will go for the bundle allright. Thanx for posting Capt Airwolf.

Thanks for the support Alan. I'd have given up a long time ago if not for the support from airwolf fans who've been wanting a true next gen update for decades now.

@@cptairwolf Hi again :-) Will you be announcing here on your KZbin channel when you are releasing the Alpha version, and how it can be purchased and downloaded from you. I will be at the front of the que :-)

[@MisterRedBlueBlur]

I would say: Take your time and don't rush such a wonderful project. The outside model looks very accurate so far, even the color in sunshine. I am sure, that a project like this brings a lot of headache while testing. Take care and good luck.🙂

[@cptairwolf]

Appreciate the kind words. The project has been put on hold until version 2024 of the sim is released as it contains some functionality I need for the heli to work correctly. This is meant to be Airwolf and not just a Bell222 with an Airwolf skin to accuracy to the fictional heli is paramount.

[@Photosbykev1]

Really nice to see this development is progressing :)

[@Dee-Jay]

I'm in love!!!!!! ... Meanwhile, I've installed the CowanSim Bell222 wich is great ... but is a Bell222B and no true Airwolf 3D model. I would truly love to have its realistic cockpit (but if possible, the same layout the lady had with all the COM & NAV boxes on the top) with the same flight model (which sounds quit good) ... but ... with your accurate Airwolf 3D model! That would be my dream! Thank you for your videos showing your progresses!

[@MrJulioManuel]

I am all about this. I have a GTAV Airwolf mod and I only dream it could look this awesome. Looking forward to this for sure. I will gladly pay $20 for this.

[@cptairwolf]

Well with GT6 on the horizon there's a strong possibility a simplified (control/system wise) version of my project will make it's way there!

[@MrJulioManuel]

Well, you just gained a sub for that teaser right there! 💪🏽

[@ReinierHut]

Hi Cpt.Airwolf, have you made any progress on Airwolf? It looked ready for alpha... I was wondering, im getting back looking your vids.

[@cptairwolf]

The project is on hold for now BUT I have some exciting news that I'll reveal in a few days.

[@andrewk2857]

​@@cptairwolfAny update or was this just the Cowan Sim integration?

[@KAPAFlyer]

I'm actuslly really impressed. Despite this probably having no chance of coming to Xbox (due to Copyright), i support you and hope you succeed. You're definitely one who knows how helicopters behave and have so far seem the only one to implement those behaviors.

How is the progress going is there any new videos In the near future

[@tobiasgamingOfficial]

Can't wait to try it out ...loved the show. Looks great ..👍

[@AirwolfThemes]

Outstanding work thus far.

[@LITTLEeMusic]

I just wanted to send some encouragement your way. This is by far the most fantastic Airwolf project I have ever seen, and I have been involved in several over the years. I messaged you on Facebook as well, but I just wanted to touch base here also! PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP ON THIS! It is absolute near perfection. As a long time fan of the show and the helicopter itself, I have a working knowledge of pretty much everything Airwolf related, and a pretty impressive collection (if I do say so myself) to go along with it. The work you have done, is like a dream come true. With Microsoft Flight now looking near photorealistic, this is the time for the definitive Airwolf and my friend you are doing it and pulling it off like Dr. C.H. Moffett himself. I know one of your post talked about a NDA. This only makes me more excited to see where this goes. Any little bit of info you could give would be so appreciated though. I check back here often to see what the latest news is. I wish you nothing but the best of luck in bringing this to the masses, and like several other comments, I will be one of the first in line for the download. Thank you for the work your are doing. Don't Give Up!

[@cptairwolf]

Thank you so much man. The only reason I haven't released it yet is because I want to do the series justice. We've all seen airwolf skins and cheap recreations just meant to make a quick buck. That has never been my goal with this project. I want to create something that truly honors the legacy of both the lady and it's amazing cast of characters for generations to come!

[@takamine5235]

@@cptairwolf Thanks for responding! It's obvious you are putting your love into this project. I never made any money on the projects I've worked on, although some of my skins and textures were stolen and used on pay sites. All the work I've done was for the love of the show and the helicopter, so I know where you are coming from. Still, I hope that you are well compensated for all the work you are putting into this. Give us un update video soon to drool over! Thanks again.

[@keithdriggers9578]

count me in!!! One suggestion I see is the rotor mast needs straightening a little, it leans a little forward. The colors and fuselage look great.

[@cptairwolf]

The main rotor mast is titled forward 5 degrees exactly like the real thing. This was done to improve forward flight as well as improve the ability to enter translational lift. Here's a good shot of it on an actual Bell 222 kzbin.info/www/bejne/poTRi4N7o7h3p9E

[@douglascarber2464]

The Main Rotor is slightly tilted forward to counter the drag acting on the airframe.

[@noktrum2794]

Is this project being continued? Cowan sim seems to be using part of this model now, but its only visuals and no practical functionality. Additionally, those visual upgrades are on their inaccurate bell222 model. I strongly preferred yours, as the fuselage is more accurate.

[@cptairwolf]

I gave Cowansim a few of my airwolf parts so that he could improve his airwolf livery a bit. Project Airwolf is still alive but I decided to delay it til MSFS 2024 as there are features missing in 2020 that I want.

[@noktrum2794]

[@mariannelindsell6042]

Very exciting! Thank you for all your hard work. I think your decision to adopt Asobo's intrinsic helicopter flight model was an excellent one, as is your decision to make it work first as a green aircraft, and only then add Airwolf specifics. I will look forward keenly to your next update!

[@KartikPatel-nt4ff]

😅😅😅well information good show 😅😅😅😅

[@ReinierHut]

Awesome project, what gets my attentions is that the gear doenst "sit down" properly on the bump stops, Airwolf sits too high on the wheels. The real life airwolf or bell 222, stands a bit lower on the wheels i think. The belley is close to the ground also the rear is lower then the front. So i think the suspension needs some tweaking around. It should kneel down a bit more when the lift is gone. Front wheel mount should be almost horizontal on the horizion. Edit here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXOTi3iblN2Vj9U Fastforward to 3:30 Here you can see what i mean. If it goes up, you really can see the wheels hang down. Don't know if you can simulate such suspension movement in FS2020 though. Greetings!

[@cptairwolf]

Though I agree with you, that was a decision I made specifically so that the ADF pod position on the belly could be lowered while sitting on the tarmac. I'll have a look though to see if I can tighten the margins a bit.

[@monostripezebras]

Nice! I hope it will have turbos!
