how many here regularly fly helicopters in FSX?

If so - would there be interest in a mission pack?

If so - what kind of missions/scenarios?

I love the missions for the helos in FSX. So the rescue ones would be a good place to start. Use the winch and what not.

Can fly a helo. I have civilian and military helos so it doesn't matter what you make if anything. I'll fly them all smile

I would appreciate helo missions. I'm a big DCS:Blackshark fan, but sometimes it's more fun to just fly a bit than mess with targeting, etc. Keep us posted - I don't post up here very often at all, but I lurk quite a bit.

Cheers!

I do. I'm interested in mission pack - especially search and rescue.

thanks, we'll look at this for the next project. May depend on if we build a package for the B-17..

I would say that helicopters are the best platform to make missions for. You can land nearly everywhere and using the winch. FSX offers so much possibilities for making missions. I don`t know why only a few companys (Abacus, Just Flight) do it.
Yes, pls do it Combat99!

I liked Alphasims H-60 for FS9, and it's fully FSX-configured (with DX10 effects and so on).

The cockpit and systems modelling is still crap, but it's not that hard to at least improve the MFD displays.

Haven't seen a full "in-depth system" helo for FS9 or FSX yet, besides maybe the Hovercontrol Bell 412 and Firebird, but those are lacking other stuff.

they have Eurocopters, Sikorski S-76, UH-1D, among others, for FSX.

Thanks. They've certainly got quite a selection of very well done helicopters. That new Eurocopter 135 is simply amazing!

Nemeth has some really nice models and pits, but as far as I'm aware they simple don't do systems modelling in any depth. By default it's a problem since in FS9 and FSX a helo can only have one engine (correct me if I'm wrong?)

The Hovercontrol Bell412 has a twin enine setup, with full start-up etc.. and realistic power reduction with the loss of one engine etc.. Also the Cera 412 and 212 also have multi engine setups. The hovercontrol 412 is both FS9 and FSX and I think so are the Cera ones.

Has there been any update on missions for Helicopters that I may have missed ??


Also for you veteran FSX users:
Is there a way to change the type of aircraft in the preloaded missions in FSX ??

For instance- The Hawaiian Checkout Mission- can the aircraft be changed to a Bell helicopter ??

The Aerosoft Seahawk is beautiful. I enjoy trying to land on ships with. Although I haven't been able to yet!

I would also recommend Helicopter Total Realism. Which basically improves the helicopter physics, making them more realistic.
