Well said. I am a pilot and I agree. Most/all pilots that I know agree.
The real world operating helicopters is much more complex than 100% accurate VRS, translational lift, and all the rotor dynamics and aerodynamics some are alluding to. Its also about how the air is moving around objects and obstructions in the vicinity, close and far. The best analogy I can give is that:
- Airplanes are like canoes on open smooth flowing rivers…
- Gliders are like those canoes, as the water flows over a submerged wier…
- Helos are like being in the rapids.
For fun and accessibility, that H135 is awesome. Look at what Rotor Sim Pilot is doing on YouTube. Look at the number of downloads. Look at the pure enjoyment it’s giving to so many. Look at the attention it is bringing to the game platform and the future helicopter category.
It’s a significant achievement and having a significant impact way beyond these discussions.
