my first attempts under fsx around end of March this year... sorry, xpx came just a week later on :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aza_ofYKFhw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3YtiftHsCU you decide :-)

agradece mucho (hope google translator works fine ^^)

Wanted to fly over Toronto, but had to stop the flight due to an abrupt engine disfunction... very lucky on where it happened, cause I would have had no clue where to land just over all those buildings, and the airport seemed to me reachable in autorotation... not the softest landing, but alive! http://youtu.be/yhEtJGfbbns

thank you :-)

payware, anchorage.... I don't know any other...

Why Anchorage again... well, the first video I did about where for another purpose, which I finally shared.... this one, is somewhat 'nicer', of course, in MY point of view, hope you enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYp9Irum-8E

lol, thnks all... Musik can't please everyone, sorry 4 that :-)

...very short and brief video of it ^^

indeed not bad... it's one of the difficultest helis to fly with... stable as a bowling ball over a golf-ball which is itself over another ball ^^

enjoy, well.. i hope so

hmmmm..... I'd go for a helicopter... You'll need time to learn how to handle it, and once on it, you 'll forget about all those fixed wing aircrafts :-) So... I'd suggest at first the AS350... ^^

thnks for feedback :-)

it's not a must have, the track IR to fly... but only once you got it, you can't live without it anymore... :-)

hi all... flying a heli is just a thing of patience... Don't forget that with a joystick, and I struggled alot too at my beginnings here, it gives far more input as needed because of its shortness.... a heli stick is much longer, so very small input on those are already enough... on the short computer stick it becomes very hard to get those very little, MUCH more little input (and I guess yes, a high qual joy makes it easier as they are much more precise and won't crackle around) So don't give it up... I'd recomment, for the first heli, to get the Mi2, or the MD902. They are quite stable (compared to the R22, Bell or AS350...!!!), which doesn't mean you won't need an everytime joy-input to get it stable... on the joystick options under x-plane, put all 6 bars (3 left, 3 right), at their maximum right side, and it will smoothen your first normal brutal inputs. Forget about planes, it's all about feeling. Of course the Track-IR makes it 'easier' to get what's going on, but it's doable without. So, remember, bigger helicopters will be easier due to their inertia to start with and less frustrting (didn't said you won't crash it a few times ;-) ). Now if you insist on the R22 as a starter, once mastered, the others will alllll be easy... but, its learning curve will be much, much steaper... In the heli, you change only ONE parameter (stick, rudder, throttle, collective,...) , only one, and all others need to be changed too to counter the first input... just a thing of habbit. I read somewhere that in real live, a clean hovering in an R22 is achieved after generally at least 16 hours of training... why should you get it done in 5 minutes?! good luck and most important: Have Fun ;-) with mouse and keyboard....? forget that... (my opinion) EDIT: Oh I forgot to mention: it MIGHT look clean on the video, but I assure you that I'm still unable, in one attempt, to come down from altitude on a very specific given spot... I miss it always and have to turn around. Autoration? Depends on which heli, and not 100% garanty I make it in one piece :-)

I love 'em, so I thought, lets do some shots :-)

Hello, After hours of flying and still learning, here 2 helis I fly around... im AS350: im BK117:

Excellent héli, but hard to control, goes better hours after hours! The sound is incredible, the inside-cockpit possibility to changer the liveries are quite practical, FLIR works well, it's just a hudge pleasure to fly with.
