No way!!! Gotta be a kiwi involved surely.
Wasn’t DeaneB doing a sneaky on us was it?

Nope not me. But it would be nice if they did a Cresco and Fletcher too Dreams are free I guess!

Does look good... wonder if there is a topdressing effect?
Given this would be the most exciting flying, would be good to have.
I remember a previous incarnation of FS (4?) had a a little crop-duster challenge, where you could see what you'd covered.

Read somewhere the top dressing effect won't be there on release but they are working on it.

There's an addon for XP11 (I presume it'll come to 12) called Airspray that is basically a spraying mod for helicopters and aeroplanes. Shows you where you've covered etc

Man hasn't aircraft modelling come on in leaps and bounds. Amazing stuff and becoming extremely difficult to distinguish between a sim model and real world.
We just need an Airtruk now eh SP?

ORBX have hinted that they are working on a Cresco and/or Fletcher...here's hoping!

That's gone straight to the top of my wishlist! I remember having a pretty basic one for FS2004 so it has been modelled before in FS, but nowhere near this level of detail of course.

oooh

Stoked about this one, I've done over 700 hours flying pacs low level irl and 1000 in fletcher so this is right up my alley, helps that the quality looks good on this too.

It's out!

Nice GB best u shout yourself a copy so the rest of us get a decent review
I sense a next month sim purchase budget allocation for myself too as long as the missus doesn't notice

Bought the pac this morning it's pretty awesome graphically and the flight model seems pretty spot on to me. You can land it very short and use beta on descents etc. Well done orbx so far!!

Real-world XSTOL pilot Jimbo Burgess had a go:

The hopper being so far aft is a weird error. I've seen JBC in person and the hopper is right behind the seats!

Any NZ liveries for this one?

'Course there are!

hah yep, fancy a MP some time online? I did end up buying this before xmas, did a few pretend fertiliser dumps in the hills round the Raglan area, that's quite fun

Yes we had a really good setup in FS9 - AFCADS in the sticks with AI doing the impossible, and DeaneB's Fletcher doing authentic dressing work.
Maybe this one will get a working hopper yet.

As to MP, I don't yet know my Multi from my Player, barely able to release the parking brake...
But yes, sounds like fun.
