On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being best), how do you rate your Overall Enjoyment of this aircraft?
My first few flights in the R66 have been surprisingly satisfying. I’m still working out hardware settings, but I just had a very pleasant VR experience with the new Robinson.
I was tempering my expectations for default aircraft in the new sim, but there is a surprising amount of depth in the flight model. Torque is requiring pedal input to maintain heading consistent with my experience in the real thing. I was most happy about cruising at neutral pedal position and even requiring right pedal input during decel/descent.
With the spray variant at ~90% useful load you need a hefty amount of left pedal to pickup into a hover. Yaw movement with helicopters in VR has been smoothed out and I had a ton of fun doing quick return to target reversals at the end of a nearby field.
After some hiccups, which lets all be honest, were more than expected, MSFS2024 is off to a good start impressing me with the updated performance and features.
