Dear all,

After failed attempt to Google 😞 

I need an advice from you regarding the above........I have too many beautiful sceneries that I don't get to see because I mainly fly commercial jets, I need a recommendation for a default addon and where to find its manuals or a payware model.......Remember no military stuff only use is for sightseeing.....thanks

Best regards

Those are the two aftermarket helicopters I own, and I like both.  If all you want to do is sightsee, I find the default Robinson to be just fine.  

Three really good aircraft for sightseeing flights (including one which there is a free version of):

With no cockpit at all to block your view, and a very slow stall speed (about 45 knots or so depending on weight), the Ant's Airplanes Drifter is fantastic for sightseeing, especially if you point it into the wind, where its slow speed if you throttle back, means it can remain almost be stationary above the ground. There is a free demo (demo only includes the floatplane version, but is otherwise fully functional). Since it is only £10.99 for the full version including all the landplane variants, it's one of the best and cheapest add-on aeroplanes you can get for your sim. Works in FSX and all versions of P3D. It is incidentally, a very accurate depiction of the real thing, including the option to simulate wear and tear on its Rotax engine:

Next, one of the easiest to fly and best-running (for FPS) helicopters you can get, the Nemeth Designs MD 500 with its big bubble canopy that affords a great view. Works in FSX and all versions of P3D. This is my 'go to' chopper for sightseeing in FSX and P3D. Like the real MD 500, it is very small, extremely agile but is easy to control, so you can land it pretty much anywhere and fly it right down in the weeds for sightseeing, as it was intended in real life when it was originally designed for use as a military observation helicopter, but sold as a civilian aircraft too:

Another chopper with a great view and also easy to fly, the FlySimware Bell 47G. Also works in FSX and all versions of P3D. Famous for being the chopper featured in the title sequence of the long-running M*A*S*H TV show, where that version is the military Bell H-13 Sioux variant, this too is a small and easy to control chopper and unlike most modern helicopters which use gas turbine engines, the 47G uses a piston engine, so its a bit different in throttle response to most choppers:

I own the Milviz Bell 407 which is my main flightseeing helo.  Whilst I don't own it, their MD530 also looks quite nice.

Milviz products in general are pretty decent.

Does the Milviz Bell 407 have a rain effect?
