Positive
- Really nice model, quite detailed
- Sounds are good
- Most switches in cockpit working
Neutral
- Flight model compared to the Guimbal Cabri feels more unstable. As I’m not a real world helicopter pilot I’m not the one to judge but I can imagine this to be correct. The 407 is more heavy and does not feature advance stability improving systems and for sure the body stores more energy/impulse so corrections take longer to execute and the aircraft tends to get out of control more easy. Careful adjustment are needed to keep this one in balance but I get used to it
Negative
- flt files could be configured better, when starting at a runway lights like nav lights, strobes and landing lights are off (not a big issue)
- ATC information for type and model is missing (see bug report here plus solutions: Missing or wrong atc/icao parameters on 40th Anniversary aircraft
All in all a good aircraft, one of my favourites irl and pretty well done as a now default one - something I miss would be the ability to open the doors, but that’s just a minor thing. I guess it will take me some more hours to nail the landings but that’s just fine with me
