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.

Yes! Its good! The h125 even better!
Msfs 2024 seems very good for helicopterpilots!

I have three “issues” and I don’t know if it’s on my side or not.

  1. I can’t start the engine from cold & dark. Battery on, ignition on and start switch on. Nothing happens
  2. The throttle is continuously moving despite all assists turned off. I wouldn’t have noticed if it wasn’t for the annoying clicking sound it makes
  3. Can’t open the door
