X-plane may have great visuals, but the helicopter model has some serious issues - any movement of the cyclic causes huge changes in the torque/ manifold pressure, for example.
MD FS X is probably OK for piston engine helos, but won't properly model power limiting (by slowing the rotor down when you reach maximum power).
Both need large visuals and full size controls to really get to see the effects of controls, etc.

S61

Let me know when you get the 61 finished - I'll get one. There was a great bristow SAR61 for FS2004 made by one of the pilots I think but I can't find it now and it was not FSX compatible - Some key instruments didn't load. I'm sure with a little more knowhow it wouldn't be a massive job to convert from the 2004 model, or am I wrong?

I have FS2004 and FSX, but use FS2004 most as I am making these with other developers

Its prob animated to a certain key or they automatically appear on the pitot tubes when you shut the engines down. Justflights R44 has rotor tie downs animated to a certain key when you shut down. Thou eurostar will confirm when he comes back on the forum (god knows when)!

Can't help with you queries Davy but just thought I'd say how promising your model looks, I'll definitely be looking to download it when its complete! Are you making any other models?

Thanks for the link Davy, I'm a big fan of Nemeth products, have the Bo-105, EC-135 and CH-53, definitely going to look into downloading any new products they develop
Cheers

I hope you have sufficient cooling for your graphics card with them 2 monitors running. I have a 22inch (1920 x 1080) HD monitor, its enough for me

Ahhh.. but when it's all hosted somewhere else.. how can it hurt??
oh well..
Because it fills (and spills over) the screen of those without massive monitors. That sort of statement shows a certain lack of respect for other Rotorheads, IMHO

I have a project for a flight sim programmer - thinking of xplane with Linux but MS with Windoze will do. Please PM!
