I'm not a big fan of the default GPS's, I was trained on the GTN. Jack Sawyer

I own both the bell47 and the "Jetranger", but they're almost impossible to autorotate using rw procedures🤔 Then purchased Cowan and they're no better... Thankfully my total disappoitment with MSFS2020 helis made me reinstall DCS World and, man... the UH-1H and now the Chinook 47F are simply astounding...

Cowan are good, just not on par with Flyinside. (My opinion and shard by others) H160 is of course on another level of Helo. Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.

Agreed, but being a desktop flight simulator I have to live within its limitation. Jack Sawyer

I like them better than Cowan. I'm in particular like Huey Here is all Taogs helicopters https://flightsim.to/developer/TaogsHangar Taogs Huey reminds me DCS one. Latest patch add "vibrations" that so much missing from other helicopters in MSFS. Taogs Huey and CAS J3C-65 (fixed wing) are obsoletely my favorite "low and slow" stick/cyclic and rudder kind of plane! Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

Taog also has an Alouette III which I enjoy, although I haven't flown it in a while. It comes with several civilian paintjobs. But I don't recall it having an option for a GTN750.

Still love the Huey, of course, and well, all the rest of them 😁

The HPG 160 is incredibly automated. And that may be good considering the limitations of the sim at present. I have their 145 and I must be doing something wrong with it because I just don't like to fly it OTOH, the Fly Inside 206 is my primary choice for MSFS - seems to fly closest to other Hi Fi Helo add-ons in other sims. I have a couple CowanSims for MSFS and XP. They're nice in XP, I uninstalled them in MSFS

I love the avionics and man would I like to fly one in real life. Jack Sawyer
