Please have this brought to the XBOX community and others like it like the “Cessna 172 Tail dragger”. Y’all could always find a way to just get a “sportsman STOL kit” on a Carenado C170B with and Alaskan vibes aka 35" tires and all the goodies with the possibility of ski and float models. I love the C170B. STOL aircraft sales have increased by quite a bit these days. Maybe it’s a sign.
I’m also a big fan of the 170B. I just wish someone would put a faster engine into it.
Yeah a sporty bush 170 would nice. That plane is hugely capable w wing extensions and sportsman kits w 35” wheels. It can go just about anywhere depending on the engine.
Perhaps not a 170 (nice one though!), I like more extreme aircraft in general. Along that line, what if I tell you that Got Friends (Jonx, 270 Inc and Got Gravel) are gonna do THIS:
Recognize this beast?
PC-12 by any chance?
Yes, with hindsight that makes more sense.
Hehe…and yes, Draco is coming to MSFS, and Got Friends is going to build it.
But until then, check out another original creation by Got Friends, the Gee Bee R3 Special » Microsoft Flight Simulator. You’re gonna love it
Trust me, you’ll want this. Bad. Get Gee Bee here:

Soooooooo excited!
Could you get some real data from Mike?
I was wondering if anyone would bring this mad thing to the sim, makes sense you’d be involved
I remember seeing a video of the e-flite RC version being meticulously created with lots of input from Mike Patey himself, are you guys involving him in this project too? I imagine given how much he seemed to love the RC tribute he would absolutely love to be able to “fly” Draco again.
That’s indeed the plan guys. We will aim for the highest level of realism possible. To do that we’ll develop the 3D model up to a good standard first, as well as the flight model, engine and systems. Once we got something to show we’ll knock on Mike’s door.

Hello GG,
Near one year since Grravel was released. And she changed from pretty to wonderful.
To celebrate it and with winter arriving at the same moment, should we expect a skis version ?
Would be great to fly a tour of snowed Alps altiports and airstrips with the snow effects !
And there is a real lack of taildragger on skis.
The Shock Ultra is not available to everybody and the Xcub is not as fun to fly than your planes.
Furthermore they both have a glass panel (ok, only semi for the Shock Ultra).
I’m pretty sure a skis taildragger with a classic panel will please a lot of pilots.
Hoping you will consider this Christmas wish like Santa would do !
P.S. If you prefer use the Carbon for this, I’ll be happy too.
Monomaniac mode /ON
And being totally crazy if the base is my old favorite Obstruction
Monomaniac mode /OFF
A new idea:
What about a “skis kit” (legs, wheels and skis) that can be used with Carbon, Grravel and Savage Cub ?
I would pay for this. Ad surely many others…
Sorry guys, same answer as always: no 3D work of any kind as this is a free mod.
But gosh…one year already! How time flies
