reciprocating heli engines

[Guest]

In fs2002, is there any way to accurately simulate a helicopter with a piston engine, with mixture control and such other features? If so, has such a helicopter ever been produced?JeremyCYWG

No. Until MS rewrites the helicopter flight model, the only thing it simulates is a Bell 206b Jet Ranger....period!Don't be fooled by those that claim to have created a more realistic model for the particular helicopter they are portraying -- they're all just slight modifications of a Jet Ranger.Hopefully FS2004 will see this happen but don't hold your breath. We all thought for certain they'd do it for FS2002 -- but it didn't happen. With the addition of the (ugh!) realism control, the popularity of the helicopter has risen substantially but it's not enough to make MS really sit up and take notice. Hope springs eternal.Calhover long and prosper
