Best vehicle for sight seeing?

Featured Replies

Could you guys recommend me the best boat, helicopter, jet and GA plane for sight seeing? In FSX and P3D it use to be the lancair legacy.

    Yup, or lifting their feet off the pedals... 🙂 It is fun to fly.. but frankly, I prefer the RV14A for any of my sightseeing trips..

Any Heli is perfect for sightseeing, because you can slow down as low as you want and hover arount POI's at your own leasure.

Cirrus Vision Jet is pretty good also

For Helis, the default Cabri is pretty good and not difficult to fly if you are fairly new to rotary winged flight..  If you feel like buying something, the Gotfriends Mini 500 is inexpensive, has a fantastic view, a great flight model and is just a ton of fun.  The FlyInside Bell 47 G prolly has the best view of anything if you want something challenging to fly and aren't in a hurry to get anywhere.

I prefer the Pipistrel Virus for sightseeing. Great view from the cockpit.

The 47 does have good visibility. That said so does their Bell 206, which will  do 115 knots at cruise loaded lightly. Useful when you want to get from one scenic area to another. And one thing people may have forgotten is that FlyInside also has a small Heli Manager app that you open, where you can adjust the stability to suit your level of heli experience. Worlds better than the overdone MSFS Assistance options for helicopters.

I would recommend the Edgley Optica (Gotfriends / ORBX).
