November 4, 20223 yr Author Think I'm just about to. Looks like a lot of fun, and can only get better with the better physics for helicopters coming in SU11.
November 5, 20223 yr I went for it and spent the night flying around in it. Overall I'm happy, the sounds are really nice and it's fun to fly. Some textures could be better. I bought the bundle with the two carrier addons so I spent some time departing and arriving at the various carriers, flew into Miramar, and then did a flight from Joint Base Andrews to the White House lawn. All in all there are some small issues that made it through beta that will be fixed soon (as per the dev in the official forum) but on the whole I'm happy with my purchase. Once you get into it a bit it's not really that hard to fly...just mind your speeds in the transitional phase, that's where it can bite you. Also watch for engine overstress, that will kill you (as per the burning crater I left behind in the Washington area after departing the White House!) It's not a very good glider, the props cannot feather (as per the real aircraft). I had a bit of a hard time getting the autopilot to do what I wanted and had a few "what is it doing?" moments but I didn't really dive too deep into figuring that out yet...I was having too much fun hand flying it. Getting late here but tomorrow I'm going to try some cross country flights and more autopilot work.

November 19, 20223 yr I'm thinking about picking this up since they fly in my area daily along the Florida Panhandle. I'm just waiting for a few more bug fixes to be resolved according to there forums. Has anyone else purchased this and what are your feelings since the 1.02 update.
