READ THE AIRCRAFT MANUAL BEFORE FLIGHT - BEWARE OF ENGINE LIMITATIONS AND VRS. The Osprey MV-22 is a tiltrotor, VSTOL (Vertical/short takeoff and landing), multi-mission aircraft, developed to fill multi-service combat operational requirements.

The MV-22 is optimized to transport troops (i.e., 24 combat-equipped Marines, or 10,000 pounds of external cargo) to austere landing sites from aviation capable amphibious ships and expeditionary forward operating bases ashore. The MV-22 would be capable of flying over 2,100 nautical miles with one aerial refueling, giving the Services the advantage of a Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing aircraft that can rapidly self-deploy to any location in the world.

Features:

  • Developed in partnership with talented aircraft developer Maryadi
  • Realistic external and Internal model.
  • Togglable automatic operation of Doors and Ramp based on the flight condition.
  • Authentic interior and exterior Night Lighting, including Osprey’s iconic Blade Tip lights.
  • Custom Sounds.
  • Hand-crafted Liveries included.

Cockpit and Systems:

  • Comprehensive simulation of the aircraft instrument and systems.
  • Realistic manual operation of engine nacelles based on airspeed.
  • Full Simulation of BFWS (Blade Fold and Wing Stow) Procedures.
  • Simulation of Auto-Hover capabilities, Auto-Flaps and custom-coded Autopilot.

Flight Dynamics and Engine Systems:

  • Custom VTOL/STOL Flight Dynamics, including realistic behavior of the aircraft handling during movement of the engine nacelles. Custom coded thrust-vectoring.
  • Fully simulated Vortex Ring State: Dangerous aerodynamic stall condition that results in an uncontrollable descent of the aircraft.
  • Realistic simulation of the gearing system connecting both proprotors, allowing for 1 engine operations at reduced performance.
  • Engine overstress limitations as per the real aircraft – engines cannot sustain full throttle for long periods of time.

Accompanying Products: Miltech Simulation has developed multiple products (sold separately) that serve as a companion to the Osprey MV-22. This product can be bundled with:

  • USS George H.W. Bush
  • Amphibious Ready Group (Including USS America, USS San Antonio, USS Virginia, USNS Mercy)
  • COMING SOON: Osprey Airport Pack (MCAF Quantico, MCAS New River, AFB Hurlburt Field)

Liveries:

  • Marines "Golden Eagles"
  • Marines "Thunder Chickens"
  • Marines "Blue Knights"
  • Marines "Evil Eyes"
  • Marines One "Presidential Nighthawks"
  • US Navy "Titans"
  • US Air Force "Blackbirds"
  • Japan Self Defense Force
  • Blank Livery

Important Notes:

  • Nacelles are operated using INCREASE COWL FLAP 4 (Nacelles up) and DECREASE COWL FLAP 4 (Nacelles down). You must map these two commands to two buttons/keys in your joystick or keyboard.
  • MSFS Assistance Settings must be set to “True to Life” and flight model to “Modern”
  • Vortex Ring State and Engine Limitations can be deactivated through the CDU/ACFT Init/MENU 3/Flight Reality
  • Do not pause (active pause) the simulator if nacelles are at a position different from Zero Degrees.
  • Autopilot works best in Airplane mode (nacelles at zero degrees)

Manual: A full operations manual is included with the software. The manual can also be accessed from here: www.miltechsimulations.com/osprey. Due to the complex nature of this aircraft, it is strongly recommended that customers read through the aircraft manual.

The MV-22 Osprey is a twin-engine military tiltrotor aircraft operated by the United States Marine Corps. It is the first operational tiltrotor aircraft, which offers the versatility of a helicopter and the speed and range of an airplane. The MV-22 takes off and lands vertically in helicopter mode, flies horizontally in airplane mode, and can come to a hover mid-air in helicopter mode. The airframe entered service in 2007 with the Marine Corps, replacing the CH-46 Sea Knight “Phrog” tandem rotor medium-lift helicopter that the service flew for decades.

The MV-22 measures 57 feet, 4 inches in length, stands 22 feet, 1 inch tall, and has a wingspan of 45 feet, 10 inches. Piloted by two, it can carry up to 35 troops with combat loads. It is powered by two 6,150-horsepower turboshaft engines that turn two proprotors. A proprotor serves as a rotor system in helicopter mode and as a propeller in airplane mode. The aircraft’s distinctive empennage consists of a single horizontal stabilizer and two vertical stabilizers.

The Osprey has a range of 2,570 miles, a service ceiling of 25,000 feet above sea level, and a climb rate of more than 4,000 feet per minute. It has a maximum speed, in airplane mode, of 316 miles per hour.
