Helicopters for FS9

Featured Replies

Hi,Are helicopters with really smooth moving instruments existing for FS9?Hugo

Check out Hovercontrol.comGary

Affirmative Helos were first introduced with Microsoft's FS98 version.

Well there are still guys who like to yoke ;). What I mean are fluent moving needles on the instruments like on the airplanes of Realairsimulations and the Sibwings Safir?BTW www.hovercontrol.com seems to be down.Hugo

Owen Hewitt's Bell 206B III JetRanger has a nice VC with pretty smooth guages. It's on the front page of Hovercontrol.

There is one chopper that puts a smile on my face every time! :)The Nemeth Designs Sikorsky S-76 features super smooth 3D XML gauges in the VC! :9 Here is an old video of mine where you can see the gauges in action (I can fly her better now) :-wedgehttp://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XvoCHjv23U0..and here's a few pics of my fav livery. :-kewlhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/ede...00/fsscr052.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/ede...00/fsscr055.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/ede...00/fsscr059.jpg

Thanks, Ed. Wow, what a painting :( :( One of your own?Looks like Nemeth Systems will have a new customer :)Hugo

Yes that's one of mine ....still on my HD for some reason :-hmmmHere is another photoreal paint from me:http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=...hor=&CatID=rootNow there was one problem with S-76 when I bought it ...the gauge bitmaps were 32 bit (not good for FPS). I reduced all mine to 8 bit.I think they fixed this so look for this fix in the Nemeth design forum.Another tip ...start the engines from the VC only.I also added radalt callouts and the Reality-XP 530 :9Oh another tip ... never use full torque (if you want to fly smoothly)Apart from that it is my chopper of choice and I love it ..plus I'm sure you know smooth gauges are essential in a chopper. :)

Hello Ed,Time to load it up! Love that one!Greetings,Hugo

WoW, can we download that livery somewhere? :-)

I will upload to avsim today. :)

Many thanks! :-jumpy
