Sikorsky CH37B Mojave

Hi all,

One of the last big piston engine helicopters. The turbopropellers arrived and cut short his career. But he has a funny face with two star motors in external nacelles :)

Thank you but I admit everything. I had already modeled the R2800 for the F6F Hellcat :) I recycle lol

Really nice, thank you!

Does it include the auto-stabilization system? I know purist discount these systems, but they were installed for a reason and make it much more simulator friendly.

This gave me the idea to upgrade hard docked portion of the cargo towing addon. It would be possible to add code to it to allow for cargo placement inside vehicles of this kind. That is now on my todo list.

No, I didn't add anything specific. Even if he was the first to have such a system, that of FG would be too sophisticated to be realistic compared to the age of this device :)
