February 3, 20233 yr There's are more details on what they are developing on the discord "Exterior and interior lights have been custom designed for a high degree of accuracy and realism, matching their real-life counterparts. Not a single default light is to be foFlight model wise, this may be a mini...but we went overboard and included the works. We researched blade weight, blade airfoil profile, cyclic max deflections left/right/front/aft, tuned the tailrotor such that you can fly hands- and feetfree at slow speeds (as per the real mini), calculated moments of inertia for all 3 axis, and we support Vortex Ring State, ETL, blade stalls, ground effect and so much more. Probably 2 months of work for the FM alone. And we're using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for helos 😬 So is she a mini? Definitely. But one jam-packed with realism giving you the most authentic helicopter simulation we could build." & "Oh...immersion wise, we also added vibrations to control stick and wiskey compass exactly matching rotor revolutions (these things shake!). When you transition from hover to ETL (between 10-13kts in the mini) you will also get a little additional shudder. Those of you familiar with the DCS Huey will know what this transition can do to your dashboard." But for me the most interesting and positive news is that: "Our rendition is fitted with the Solar T62 Turboshaft" instead of the woefully inadequate Rotax 582 that powered the original version.
