December 29, 2025Dec 29 Yes, I LOVE this little helo in MSFS 2024. Taog's OH-6A does not get near enough recognition. Phenomenal helicopter.

December 29, 2025Dec 29 Yup, they can really feel nice according to 1 YouTuber you want us to believe. Other than making a video for clicks and revenue we have a ton of Avsim members that are informative enough to tell me the same thing. These YouTube videos are always suspect as they are simply ONE persons opinion.

I’m starting to get the impression some avsimmers just don’t like content outside of this forum. - no one on YouTube can be trusted - reddit is full of children - discord is a mess and makes no sense - Twitch and streaming in general can only be for people without a job avsim is perfect and everyone’s word here is the only truth, such a weird bubble of negativity. @jcomm thanks for the video, I’m not really a heli guy but I’ve been hearing a lot of good stuff about taog, particularly from the stranger things. Might check it out

December 30, 2025Dec 30 Awesome! Buying it tonight. After pulling my hair out trying to get the Hype 160 to work in 2024 this will be perfect. Jack Sawyer
December 30, 2025Dec 30 He says the general helis in 2024 don't feel right, but he doesn't specify how or what is wrong. He keeps repeating it's wrong but doesn't enumerate the differences. What should it feel like? Why is the OH6 better...he says it feels better. I don't know, but what does that mean?
December 30, 2025Dec 30 Its a very good helicopter. One of the best ones. Being number 1 is subjective to say the least. Cant go wrong with this one though Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.
December 30, 2025Dec 30 As a longtime heli-head I can wholeheartedly give a double thumbs up for Taog's 500. And once you have learnt to enjoy the 500 go play with his UH-1H (the Taog version, not the Stranger version which has completely different flight characteristics). I love the Alouette too but the Lama is also a fantastic rendition of a helicopter in a sim not geared towards rotary wing.

Taog's Huey and Allouette are other helo favs of mine, and the Lama is also a very respectable and well done rotary bird by Taog. Whereas the OH-6 is MSFS2024 native, all of Taog's other helos work very well in MSFS2024 without issue and MSFS2024 compatible.

Did something bad happen to you on YouTube…? 🤣 Or is it that you somehow think we sit around and wait for YouTubers to tell us what to believe…? ’cause that ain’t it, bro. the guy makes very good videos. he can be a bit opinionated, but his opinions are generally well supported he happens to like virtual helos, but doesn’t fly them IRL he DOES fly aerobatic aircraft IRL. and, y’know, he also flies 737’s for a living Which doesn’t make him a rotary guru, but he does know how aircraft move.

I watched this one a few days ago, so perhaps I'm a little fuzzy on it. But IIRC, he does talk about it - and if not in this one, then in the many others he's made. He speaks extemporaneously, so sometimes these things can be easily missed. He's also primarily a DCS World flyer, and the Taog's OH-6/H500 is, AFAIK, the first one where he believes it handles as well as the ones over in DCSW. And his favorite one over there is also very well regarded freeware OH-6, so there are direct comparisons being made. The pitfalls of many of the helos in MSFS are well documented, and easy enough to discover if you're familiar with Hi Fi rotary flight models in other sims, or IRL, etc. Things missing or wrong like ETL, hover in- and out- of ground effect, loss of tail rotor effectiveness, auto-rotation, dynamic rollover, retreating blade stall, and a host of other distinctly egg beater aero phenomena. Like didja know helis tend to hang one skid lower than the other, and that it has to do with which way the rotor spins...? The Taog's OH-6 gets pretty much all of that right, or at least does it better than just about any other MSFS helo, IMHO. It's kinda like replacing your worn-out OEM shocks and tires with Bilsteins and Pirellis. Same car, and "nothing" has changed, but it's a substantially different & better experience that can be difficult to specifically enumerate.
