Recommend a Helicopter

Can someone please recommend a good helicopter for use in P3D V2.5?

 

Thanks a lot,

You might want to pop over to Hovercontrol.com.

They are the be-all and end-all of flight sim helicopters. They have choppers, many tested by real-world helicopter pilots. They can set up flight instruction in multiplayer, for "real as it gets" flying of a sim bird, again, with real-world Flight Instructors. Anything Helicopter related, it's THE place to go.

Additionally, I would look at their forums for the famous HTRv1.5. or whatever it's up to now. Helicopter Total Realism is a small, add-on software, that takes what the game thinks a helicopter should be doing, corrects all the physics parameters for the chopper, and feeds the info back into the game. It's amazing. FS sims in general seem to be totally rotten at making choppers fly "real" and HTR corrects that. It was developed for the sims by a wonderfully intelligent man, with a great deal experience with real-world physics and engineering experiece. It was tested and had a ton of input from numerous real-world helicopter pilots, so it's pretty accurate.

 

Anyway, give them a look, if you want to really "fly" a helicopter in the  sim world! Well worth the time and effort.

If you are into realism check out the Dodosim 206. Don`t think i am far off if i say that they have the best physics available.

EDIT: Yes, works well in 2.5

If it ain't broke, i fix it until it is...

CeraSim has some good helos for P3D as well. The UH-60L works nicely.

I have dodosim for FSX, have not got around to installing into P3D as yet. Can someone confirm that it works in P3D ? Without a doubt, the most realistic rotary flight model.

Yes I installed using the Estonian migration tool and all running nicely.

I've only flown Bell 206Bs in real life. I recommend the Dodosim 206 as well!

What is the next best helicopter compared to the Dodo? Like the topic starter, I'm also looking for a new heli, but I already have the Dodo, which is my only helicopter outside of DCS. Is there anything that can at least can be made as good as the Dodo with the HTR program?

So the Dodo does not need the HTR program?

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

 

luv the dodo, hope the dev's come good with the HD version.

Gboz, no, Dodo doesn't need HTR. @RotorWash, have you tried some of the free VC upgrades to it? They get rid of the fuzzy label inscriptions and are a must. I think I downloaded mine from Hovercontrol.
