FSX Sikorsky S-97 Raider Concept Helicopter

It is Sikorsky's proposed high-speed scout and attack compound helicopter which can carry 2&6 men as crew plus armed soldiers. Cruising speed is 253 mph/407 km/h. It is Sikorsky's earliest attempt for a fast helicopter with stiff coaxial rotors and is built in 2 different styles of the prototype. The first flight was in May 2015.

The FS-model has a VC with animated sticks and HUD. The exterior provides animated multiple rockets and a fast rotating Gatling gun (I preferred that animated gun instead of the proposal of a 0.5-inch gun for the real helicopter).

Twelve cameras show all the features. FSDS 3.5 model and panel and all configurations by Erwin Welker

Sorry, I haven't built that helicopter for FS2004. But it should work. But you have to to put the textures from the common texture into all of the 3 existing texture folders (the texture.cfg inside of the texture folders will not work in FS9) and probably you have to replace the air files with FS9-compatible ones.

INSTALLATION

• Copy and paste the helicopter folder into the Rotorcraft folder in FSX.
• Copy, paste and overwrite the Sound, Gauges, and Effects into the main directory of your FSX.
