Developer DreamFoil Creations recently posted some pictures of their upcoming MD 500D on their Facebook page.
While details are light, the upcoming rotary-wing aircraft includes some amazing particle effects for heat blur that will look really nice in X-Plane 11.30.
While the bird is still missing some details (much of the texturing is done for testing purposes), the developer says the aircraft will also include the ability to be customized with aftermarket mods and other equipment.
The comments below the post indicate that there is no ETA on a release date, but that it is “not going to happen this year”.
