Helicopters are a must

I need one… How much, where?

That thing is quite pricy but worth the money if you are an enthusiast sim helicopter pilot …

You can order it from the producers (which I did)

or try to find it at reseller shops

You may also be lucky enough to find a ‘preowned device’ in the depths of the internet …

That’s an amazing kit. I have one and it’s just fantastic. We have a review on HeliSimmer.com made by a US Army Instructor PIlot in case someone’s interested in checking it out.

Thanks!!! I’ll Look into it

I used to make a video of the Bell 407 helicopter made by the Németh Brothers. Amazing model.

Love the 407!! I have the Dreamfoil one for XP-11… Am not sure how realistic is the flight model, but absolutely love the way it handles! Movements are crisp and such a joy to fly especially doing city sightseeing at dusk/nights

From what a few B407 and OH-58 pilots told me, the flight model is pretty accurate on the DreamFoil model.

Same here; such a great helicopter. It’s basically the sole reason I’ve kept X-Plane 11 installed post-MSFS.

I would be happy about a HUEY… best one is from DCS… also not bad the one from XPlane11… and is a must have in MSFS :slight_smile:

( and yes, 407 is a good one , the AB-412 too )

I’m disappointed. Helicopters were not covered in developer issues. In December 2020, it was announced that the helicopters would be released in 2022. It is now 2021, almost half a year since the announcement. Helicopters are slowly in the top three on the wish list. The developer can follow the forum to see how much success the Hype EC135 helicopter has. It would also be appropriate to inform people who like helicopters about the plans. I’m sure there’s a schedule. I am thinking here of preparing for helicopter development. This is a complex job that requires a minimum of one year. The development team already needs to prepare a draft, they could talk to us about it.

The simulator will slowly be a year old, it would be good to move on with the improvements … It’s very boring to fix the initial bugs, that’s what every update is about …

What’s the point of the great scenery without Helicopters. should have been in from day one.

You are very right, thank you for your comment. Flight Simulator has given a new, amazing visual world. Now you can enjoy helicopter flying. Dense forests, grassy meadows, bushes, wonderful buildings. The biggest mistake is that there is no helicopter in the simulator.

What a great contradiction …

I couldn’t agree any more. This is so needed for this sim with the graphics provided. There’s nothing better for sight seeing than a helicopter.

Strongly support expansion of quality helicopters. Effort so far is outstanding and free, and much to the credit of some fabulous people who care about the community and its future.
