Minor correction on the MV-407... it works in both FSX and P3D v1.4 for the same price.  It's only if you want it for V2 that the price goes up and there's a very good reason for that...   As well, you're not paying double.  You're paying 59.99 for both instead of 39.99.  That's 20 bucks more.

Ok you're right - its of course P3Dv2 I'm talking about, v1.4 isn't really on my mind any more. And yes its 150%, not 200%.

I'm not sure if I'll get on P3Dv2 at all, anytime soon, or rather wait for a 64bit version and see how that plays out with the addon market; but still...

 

I'm a bit afraid to get the Flight1-wrapped version because I'm probably going to like it so much, I'll keep it and be 40 bucks poorer ;-)

So now I'm trying to decide which one to get; the Milviz 407 looks very good - but it's also very new, so I couldn't find an in-depth review yet, its very expensive, and I don't like the fact that you pay double (or almost double) when you want it to work in P3D as well.

The Dodosim Bell is a bit old, though it still probably is the reference as far as FD go - but I like a bit of bling, so...

Then there's the Cera Bells, and I'm in love with the Bell 222 - fast, sleek, looks stunning, plus there's HTR profiles for that one so I'm hoping for a realistic flight experience. Probably will get that one. But then there's also the Cera 412, which looks nice too... ;-)

 

All good choices.  I've been quite enjoying the MV 407 lately.  I'm not up for writing in depth reviews, but to be honest, I've found very little that I dislike, only a few very minor personal things that I wouldn't even call an issue.  As far as payware goes, I've been very pleased with it.  Actually, although I very much appreciate that Milviz offers the option of the Flight1 wrapper, they've gained enough of my trust that I don't use it.

 

You really can't go wrong with the Dodosim 206 either; but really only if flight modelling is more important than visuals to you (although there is a model upgrade in the works).

Awright, I made it quick and got me the Bell 222 yesternight, plus the little flightmodel patch and HTR profile from hovercontrol and a dozen liveries :)

Love it so far! Will spend a lot of time in this one the next weeks I believe - and the MV407 is up on the short list, when I feel the itch the next time.
