Myself and 5 friends took our pelicans for a group flight the other day when it released. It was the most ridiculous sight I’ve ever seen in the sim, but so much fun 😂

You can play the Halo music from the radio box on top left side of the cockpit

Sir once again very informative and detailed presentation. Thank you

[marvinspates]

I've been playing with it in VR. You can open the door behind the pilots seats to the cargo bay, It's fully rendered. You can also open the loading dock door! It's perfect for exploring low and slow. I have not tried the navigation yet. Great video!👍👍👍

NAV mode only works when loading in to the airport powered on. It will not work from a Cold & Dark state. Just to save you real simmers from a headache trying to get it to work :-)

@Huddison, thanks for the review! It handles much like a chopper, hover and all!

The Pelican Dropship is a joy to fly!!!

[itellzzz]

I love this something completely different

[edwardward]

Fun to fly! Needs a speed brake and betters direct left and right outside visibility. Regards-

[jamesparry]

Another great video Thank you Huddison! Your hotas settings, are they the same as a previous video you made for the Xbox s? Did any sensitivities change? Always trust and use your settings with success, thanks again.
Here’s an idea - what about a group flight of these through the Grand Canyon?! Looking forward to the next one!

Looks great! Gonna try it in VR. Hope someone will mod it properly and give us a decent FMS.

[Aleksandarix]

Lol. I dare somebody to fly this on Pilotedge! "Pelican 327WA, 5 from picos, cleared ILS 32...."

[DarkGT]

Looks like one of the Transformers while it fly. Since this is some kind of space ship, can you go into space in MFS?

[danlance]

It's worth noting, that although the cruise speed may "only" be ~350kts... that it is capable of much more.

If you are not bothered about realism (and let's face it, for this craft, if you are bothered about realism, then... you would not be able to take off!) then with stress damage disabled, I've had ~Mach 1.2 out of it (this does require cancelling the overspeed warning using the master caution button in the cockpit)

The external camera is surprisingly good as well - I've not found a better aircraft for following a road / river etc. in first person - have one on the screens set to camera, for following, and look out the windscreen to make sure you don't fly into a mountain... then howl though those welsh mountain valleys breaking everybody's windows with the sonic boom... So. Much. Fun.

I've downloaded the Pelican and can't wait to fly it as I have just finished watching a Halo series on TV. Have you taken her to space yet?

[Mr.Skits]

I cant bloody land this thing. It keeps stalling when I switch to hover mode and AI pilot takes over and sends me flying back upwards. So frustrating. I'm new so i don't really know what I'm doing wrong. Everyone makes it look so simple yet I can't do it. 😂

[payt]

It kinda looks like one of those plastic toys that kids get bored with within 5 minutes after getting it.. lol. I did take it for a spin, and it was kinda fun. Not sure if I'll ever get back to it though :)

[mikecoffee]

What on Earth ?? Odd but it does look like loads of Fun

[danowat]

Watching people on the FS forum lose their minds about the addition of a, shock horror, fictional craft, has been amazing.

I cannot get the Nav1 hold keybind to work on any input device.
