Even More Helos: H130

[Charl]

Picked this one up at sale, a nice rendering of another competent Euro (=Airbus) copter.
I went for the Snazzy Interior mod at Fs.To

Discovered a HEMS pack for this, and tried a bush evacuation flight







Sadly the flight model leaves something to be desired: it wants to roll to port no matter what, and is highly pitch unstable.
Collective inputs vary from hopelessly sensitive to wildly unresponsive.
It is now parked; luckily it didn't cost very much at all.

Very nice! Which of the Cowan sim helis on sale would you recommend ? Would they work in 2024?

[Charl]

Thanks Paul - my pick is the 500E, and I believe it works in FS24.
And for 20 bucks!
I could not resist and went back to pick up the Robbie R66

Josh updates everything pretty well but because of the state of 24, some things may not work properly yet. He's not investing a lot of time into updates until it stabilizes

Great shots Charl....I couldn't hold off either...picked the 66 and the 222B which (in my humble opinion) isn't one their better models...just saying.
I then got myself into the overdraft zone, with the HPG H-145..Its a complex beast, screens later.

[Charl]

Yesss now we are talking.
The 145 is the PMDG of rotary flight, I still have not gotten to the end of it and doubt I ever will.
It is what you go to when you really can't make up your mind what would suit the flight you have in mind.
Will follow your exploits with interest.

Meantime I'll just drop the Robbie shot here.
What a docile little machine, perfect for when the situation demands.

some cool shots, I just wish I could fly choppers....but I crash all the time
