Changing servers does nothing but change multiplayer traffic. It has zero impact on your graphical data streaming.

We are at the point of what I was dreaming of when I was playing flight sims with wire frame graphics at single digit frame rates. This is the "golden age" of flight sims.

Love it. Never had any problem with it. Updated to the latest version with no issues. I use it in auto mode and it just does its thing. Set and forget. I have Bijan's Seasons as well. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Both look incredible in some areas and less so in others, often season dependent. Currently I'm sticking with REX. The weekly change and the automation just edge it over Bijans for me at the moment, but should Bijan add more texture/colour sets and automation I would probably use that one again. Both seasons apps are very good (clearly way better than default) Neither are perfect. If I had to choose only one it would be REX right at this moment, but only because of the nice UI, extra colour set variety and the automation, but as Bijan is back now his app could well get major updates this year if he continues to be as prolific in his work as he was before his sabbatical

Simple answer is... there is no A2A level helicopter in the sim unfortunately. As far as flight model, I'm another that thinks FlyInsides offerings have the best, most detailed flight models. What FI do have in common with A2A is their own custom flight model to bypass the MSFS default and they have both made a product that a member of the dev team actually owns and flies (Comanche for A2A, B206 for Flyinside) I'd not flown the FI B206 for a while but it got an update yesterday so I took her out and was instantly reminded why it's so highly praised. The best helis using the default FM has got to be Taogs excellent Lama and Alouette. When it comes to systems depth the clear winner is HPG's offerings. Whether they are fun to fly or not is going to be a personal thing though. I'm more of a "basic machines... hands on all the way" type. Give me a Lama or a B47 over a modern, computer aided, systems heavy heli any day of the week! But if you're the Airbus type who just loves having a million things to play with then there's no doubt HPG's helis are what you're looking for. No one is doing serious A2A style wear and tear/ living aircraft style work on helis yet. I live in hope that someone on the A2A team gets the heli bug and decided they have to do an Accusim helicopter. I can but dream.

Don't bother with Skypark, nothing more than a glorified mission generator. Basic and no real progress with it from the devs since release. Probably my biggest addon purchasing regret for the sim.

Yes

How is swapping DLSS DLL's going to mess up your PC? When you don't know what on earth you're talking about it's always best to say nothing at all.

V1.1 Released: Patch Notes- FM UPDATES Smooth out certain behaviors of the V1.0 and listen to the feedback of real Lama pilots who kindly stepped forward after the release to give me their feelings. Here are the main changes - More stable forward flight above 50knts - Easier to achieve cruising speed - Hover sensibility slightly reduced Added - Camera attachment - Various 3D models around the cabin Fixed - Altimeter QNH Strip now works - Fuel pump now cannot be activated if the battery isn't on - Fixes to the rotorhead 3d model (butée basses are now as they should be) - Some warning lights lights that were always on are now off by default - Pitch indicator goes above 1 as it should IRL - Glass dirt texture is now less strong - Texture modifications of certain objects Side note the FM from V1 is still available as a swap option for users that would like to keep it

Didn't bother updating mine either. I've not flown any GA but the Comanche since release and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Yes, much more realistic. As much as I did love my Arrows, I can't see a case where I would ever pull any of them out of the hangar instead of the Comanche. Quite frankly it's the best GA plane ever made for a simulator.

Official?

I always do a walk around on the first flight of the day. Proper runup every flight. As for floaty landings.. First couple were floaty, entirely due to excessive speed. As soon as I got that part under control landings were great.

Mainly Robinsons. There's vids of him flying R22 and R44 and In his Cowan 206 review he says he's flown the R66. Pretty sure he said he'd not flown an S300.

According to Belatu42 on the official forum (a real heli pilot who flies Robinsons a lot) "The FM on the RSP/Airland R44 with native physics is really good, It flies like an R44, very convincing." He rates the Asobo heli physics highly and I've never seen him have any "stability" issues with any of the current offerings. (His Youtube channel (Belatu42) is a good place to check out, he has "mini reviews" for most of the MSFS addon helis there and he knows what he's talking about) So I think the problem is not native/non native helis in the sim, it's that you need to tune your controls 😉 I cant say I've had any issues with any of the third party helis in the sim or the Cabri. I've not flown the 407 since launch so cant comment on that one. (It goes without saying that you should never buy a heli from MScenery though) I do have a separate profile for Cowansim helis and the Alouette III that has all cyclic sensitivities at 50%, all the rest I'm running linier, 100% sensitivity with a 15 year old joystick and some cheap pedals and can keep everything under full control. Personally I love the S300 CBi, The Allouette III, The Cowansim MD500 and the FlyInside B206 the most. I would say the S300 and Alouette are the most "stable" of the lot, but then again all of the helis in the sim are "stable" once you're used to their individual quirks. Every heli in every sim ever will feel unstable after flying the H145 though! They all fly great for me and many others, though what has become very clear is people are having wildly different experiences with the helis in MSFS which appears to be down to controls as there really isn't any fundamental flaw in the native heli FM from what I can gather from RW heli pilots. For what it's worth i can jump from the DCS Huey to any heli in MSFS and don't need to adjust any more than I would jumping between two completely different MSFS helis, say the H145 to the R44. EDIT: Just a heads up, if you do end up buying the S300 CBi at any point get it direct from Nemeth, not from the marketplace. I think it's still on v1.00 in marketplace. We're on v1.03 now on the direct from developer version. .V1.00 had a pretty bad bug that marketplace users still haven't got a fix for.
