Now, this is one awesome plane!

 

 

PT6A-28 with 680HP from the reduction gearbox. Full reverse (there's a video of him backing the plane up about 30 meters... and he has a back-up light!) for super short fields, and those super squishy trailing link main gears on the Wilga with those Tundra tires... Drooling.

 

 

I promise I'll never ask for anything else Santa.

That looks really interesting!

 

If anyone gets it after release, let me know.  Would love to hear your thoughts.

Looks really nice.  Hope there's gonna be more than just the super cub

This is why people think they see UFO's...

Once you flew that, could you ever fly anything else?

Short of strapping a Rocketdyne RS-68 to your ass and striking a match...?

First I’ve seen this, I will own this!

Interesting presentation and Q&A about Deadstick here:

 

I really like their approach to walkarounds and weight and balance issues with cargo loading.  

I think this is a really excellent way to spice up general aviation. It gives you some other real world taskings to accomplish when going up. Stuff you really have to consider. As a student I think this is absolutely an excellent way to practice.

 

I hope they have a realistic weather system, and I also hope the weight and balance isn't just auto calculated by moving some sliders. I hope there is depth in it. All in all it sounds very fun.

I definitely look forward to flying it, even in single player.
