It sort of works, I could hear the gloop of the grease alright. If anything I'll end up with a well developed left arm I think what's needed is someone to clean all that bloody gloop out. But as it is, it's fine for fixed wing flying. I'll do the 'DT' (dual throttle) workout before a flying session in future.

I'm only using the x65 so we can test it and include a profile for it in the game. Also my personal fav, the x52 was exhibiting uncommanded rotation behaviour.

I got to play with Komodo Simulations Virtual Blade system with a proper friction collective lever. THAT's the way to fly a helo. Just needs about two dozen buttons and switches on it and it'll be perfect

The dual throttle is good for the engine power levels, you hardly touch those, startup, shutdown. That's it. Not the sort of thing you want to nudge. Or can nudge, I just added logic to lock them at idle (preventing advancement) when the rotor brake is on or locked.

Thanks for the tip.

Nice job Richard; looking forward to this.

Best endorsement yet!

Great! It shows very good flight feeing! The avionics control looks good too.

By the way, Is there no blades coning effect? Will be more realistic with that effect.


Keep up the good works!

Yes there's coning in there. Maybe it's a bit subtle. The camera picks it up better in the external view.

When rotocam is restored it should be clear. It's also a full 360 barforama. FM mk 2 will let us put in visible blade pitching and feathering too.

The coning is much more visible on our Chinook.

Looking real good, im getting that old LongbowII feeeling again....and its a good feeling.

Any chance to put in the cockpit shakes a la Longbow 2 virtual cockpit days?

Awesome video!! I'm also eagerly awaiting release!
