I believe some of you could be interested in the interview Jan gave us. Many thanks Jan http://xplane.cz/en/2013/05/31/zpet-ke-korenum/

I only have the R22, so can't comment on the others on your list. What I will say about the R22 is that it's a basic helicopter, very basic - no frills, no auto-stabilisation or yaw damping - so it's quite a handful to fly. Even a seasoned xplane heli pilot will find the R22 very twitchy (apparently realistically so) and almost unpleasant to fly. If the real thing is such a nightmare, it explains why just about every helicopter pilot out there can't get off R22's fast enough. Dreamfoil's R22 is accurately-modelled inside and out, with circuit-breakers modelled and useable, rotor brake useable, access panels operable. As said, if you're already experienced flying helicopters in xplane....... it won't help you with the R22 - you'll be learning from scratch all over with this one. If you're looking for something to get in and fly, the R22 isn't for you. The first few weeks you'll do nothing but crash. It is hard work, but so rewarding once you get the hang of it.

You realize you're replying to a quote made in November of 2012, close to when 64-bit first came out, right? Aside from PilotEdge, are there even ANY online flying plug-ins for VATSIM or IVAO that are even 64-bit? I'm not aware of any. The baby arrived weeks ago. Ben has a ton of drive and continues to work on Gizmo daily, which is rather impressive given the circumstances.

don't make me hungry

Harry, you try to create one the same or better, you're arguing against me using remarks that are completely irrelevant. Just because I can't do better doesn't mean I can't middle man for Mr. Igami's criticisms, which are all constructive, provide fix options and are well informed and accurate. I've discussed multiple times with him about coming here to offer up his own insights, however given the attitude towards criticism in this forum, he'd probably get a LOT of hate. One doesn't need building talent to find know how to compare the model to the real aircraft. On a slightly different note, I am glad that we see eye-to-eye on my 767 (which I assume is the one you are talking about)
