December 21, 201114 yr Author It was running when I loaded FSX so I just added power and away I went. It has a sharp VC, outstanding paint and details, HD and Lite choices for all textures, retractable gear and autopilot. 2 slightly different panels. I installed it as v1.01, added the 1.02 update and away we go. I will probably also get the Huey just to hear the **, **, **.The manual is pretty dry reading and you can download it without purchasing. google pdf for the model.Ray I can't believe the editing system took out my 'w o p', 'w o p', 'w o p' sounds that a Huey makes.Ray When Pigs Fly .

December 21, 201114 yr Author I'm impressed a little more each time I fly the ND AW109. It has the best stereo sounds that I have heard in any add on. As you walk around with the external view - really cool. This is the Low rez look. I have FPS fixed at 30 and I am showing 29 climbing out in the VC view.Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
December 21, 201114 yr It might need Accel for grappling hook stuff or other mission-related fanciness that only Acceleration sports.

December 21, 201114 yr Yeah it really is a lovely model. Seems like the acceleration pack is required for a number of it's features, I wasn't able to even start the machine without installing it. Had SP2 installed but no go, bought acceleration, uninstalled sp2 and added acceleration and now it starts and operates fine Dean Stringer
December 21, 201114 yr Ray,Thanks for the pics on the AW. Picked it up this morning and it has exceeded expectations. What a difference in flying the AW compared to any of the defaults. Sort of like changing from a default 737 to a PMDG 737. Also came with a AW-EH101, which was a plesant surprise. Now to install the updates.Carl Carl PC AMD Ryzen R7-5700G (8-Core) processor), AMD Radeon RX 6600 Graphics 8GB/ 2TB HD + 500GB SSD, 16GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM, Win11 _____________________________________________________________________________________

Are you sure that is not just the FSX default version that was already installed?Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
December 21, 201114 yr I didn't get the EH-101 with my download. Are you sure that is not just the FSX default version that was already installed?Rayyeah... that EH-101 is part of the Acceleration Pack.btw... lovely helo that AW-109 and nice to pick up a few ND helos on sale... But Mr. Ryan Butterworth, I must kindly razz you :( as the ND AW-109 is by no means the fastest FSX helo out there... according to aircraft.cfg files, the ND EC-135 and MD902 are both faster... and there is even a faster helo we racers use for the MS Round the World Race :(
December 21, 201114 yr This is embarrassing, I figured it out after I wrote the comment. I was wondering why it wasn't responding like the AW.

December 22, 201114 yr Author Is the transponder supposed to read 0000 in the ND AW109?Unitl set by the user? I will load it up tonight and see if i can sqawk 7700.I just installed the ND Huey, it sounds great, but the paint job leaves a bit to be desired. I may have just picked a bad one, but, I'm off the search for repaints. Anyone know where some civilian repaints for the Huey could be found?Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
December 22, 201114 yr Author Is the transponder supposed to read 0000 in the ND AW109?Looks like it defaults to 1200 which is pretty normal, isn't?Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
December 22, 201114 yr Anyone know where some civilian repaints for the Huey could be found?There's this.And there's also a NOAA repaint in this pack.And there are a couple of UN paints, though those might count as military.Otherwise, I haven't been able to find civilian paints. There are a lot for the Aerosoft Huey, but it's mostly military stuff for the Nemeth.FYI - there's a great Helicopter Total Realism file for the Nemeth Huey available for download at Hovercontrol. Free, so worth a try. Alan Ampolsk"Ah, Paula, they are firing at me!"-- Saint-Exupery
