I saw this:

IIRC, the V-22 Osprey's rotors can tilt forward so that it can fly like a normal prop-driven aircraft. It would be cool to see this in the game, but you'd have to shrink the diameter of the rotors (from what's in the mentioned screenshot); as they appear there, they'd cut into the plane's fuselage.

Well thats why they stay up LOL.

But yes Matt your point is quite valid. I am aware that Osprey's rotors tip forward but do they land and take off vertically (I am not sure)?

If not then I may actually replace them with another aircraft in due course.

I think the osprey itself is large! But the rotors are pretty huge, maybe I could make a rotor that looks like its in motion, and you can use that.

If an osprey is overhead you can't see where you are.

I think that you (James) need a cooler looking rotor for all your helicopters. I might be able to help you draw 1. I have already redrawn your bullet image.

Be my guest. I think you have the Osprey files?

You will notice in the beta that I make the wings a little longer to fit the rotors in.
