A friend of mine turned me on to the Cera Simaircraft (http://cerasimaircraft.com/products.html) Bell 212 and 412 models for FSX. Holy toledo are they awesome! I'm seriously surprised AVSim hasn't managed to get their hands on a copy for a review. Think PMDG for Helicopters!

Hopefully you'd tried the Dodosim Bell 206?!On that note I'd love to hear more about Cera's offerings.

Usually Avsim does not try to get its hands on products to review. It's the developers that ask Avsim to review their products, so if Cera Simaircraft did not approach Avsim, chances are slim that they will be getting a review. perhaps you could talk to the relevant developer and ask him/her if he/she wants Avsim to do some reviews of his/her products?

Im sure if it was on the reviewer list it would have been snatched up by now as it seems like a real nice product. Why dont they contact the review's editor, Robert Whitwell to get into the string of things.Al

I wasn't aware of these products. But now that you have brought them to my attention, I'll go and aske the developer for review copies, and see if they agree.

The only thing that would complete the CERA product is a functional 3 axis autopilot. this would set it off nicely as most if not all 412's on the market are fitted with a AFCS system. i know i would certainly enjoy the addition of oneSteve ForgacsATPL(H)

I have emailed Avsim's reviews editor, Robert Whitwell, about reviewing the Cera Bell 212, because since I already have it, there is no need for me to get hold of a review copy of it. I'll let you know what he says.Al

Alan-In the review section we have, somebody already has a copy to review!

Cool, saves me a job then :-) although as anyone who has it knows, I think it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that it'll get a good reviewAl

Are you going to be stocking Cera Simaircraft in the AVSIM store?
