Blackbird Simulations News/ Updates

We have several contracts that must come first. Military and commercial. Once those are done, we can get back on track. That said, the 732, the Corsair, the Huey, F16C and the F-15C as well as the Otter, remain in the code cycle, though with differing levels of priority. Won’t get into that here though.

We’re also trying to fix up the SU6 stuff that borked out some of our products. Sr and C-130J for those.

Some of our peeps are also on PTO. Not a great time for new releases. And yes, it can, literally, take YEARS for some stuff to come to fruition.

If we stop working on something though, we usually say so. ATR being the “elephant “ in that room…

Kudos for being transparent. More devs should communicate like you guys do. Looking forward to the 732 and the Otter myself!

Cessna 310 Fs2024 Native still coming?

Another pic of the Otter…

After a cold winter here in Aus it would be nice to get a little 'otter…

‘I’ll get my coat’

Saw the DHC-3 on display at the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre in Sault Ste Marie last weekend. An impressive machine to see in person!

We see them all the time in the air in the Seattle area. Can’t wait to fly them in the sim!

Can’t wait to 'OIter!

An Otter with decent system simulation would be an instant buy.

Same for me!

I am in FS24 and would like to get the Corsair but not interested in buying it twice. Is it worth buying the original, or should I wait for the '24 native? Do we have any idea when the '24 native version will release?

I haven’t flown it in a minute, but I recall it working fine in FS24.

Q1 2027 or before. Hopefully. (Not a promise)

honestly, I’d wait. Entirely new model, new code, new FM, new sound set…

your call.

Thank you for the response. I tend not to ask for release dates as I know how that goes, but I sure do appreciate the info! I think I’ll look forward to a happy 2027 then! :clinking_beer_mugs:

Info is very appreciated.

May I ask what varients we will possibly get (Ski/Float/Amphibian/Bush)?

Not likely on a Corsair. I’m guessing you are asking about the Otter, but you replied to the Corsair response.

Oh, right, sorry. Yes, I meant the Otter.

We’re doing the radial first. Float, tundra, regular and ski will be included.

No amphibian at this time.

It will have some cool stuff…. Perhaps even career mode… (again, not a promise)

Well well. Why i never saw this page before

Bummer. All the ones I see are amphibians.

Quick web research shows 10-15% of currently flying Otters are radials, and only 20-25% aren’t on floats.

So I guess this will have to appeal to my “classic warbird” pilot rather than my “fly the planes I actually see around here” pilot.

EDIT: I know the rules are we can’t call other users idi0ts, but I can call myself one, right? I misread the post and didn’t see that there is a float version. I’m in!
