Downloaded the BK-117 this afternoon, and decided to take it for a quick dawn flight around the Mount Cook area.
This must be the first times I've flown a chopper and not ended up in a body of water

















A nice flight, and a great helicopter, apart from the violent shaking once it gets around 100kts or so (But perhaps that's just my bad flying )

great pic s , have to admit , prob best Heli flyin area in NZ Ripper MATTNZ

Cool screenshots. Does the model have dynamic shine?

Thanks guys.

Trolly: Not sure if this model has dynamic shine sorry. How can I find this out? It is just the beta BK-117 from the "aircraft" forum 'winch' model.

I think the dynamic shine has something to do with the alpha layer of the repaint which gives off a shine on the fuselage according to the amount of light shined at it in the sim.

There is a sort of glow to the body in shots #1 and #5, but the rest of the shots show a rather mat non reflective bodywork, which IMO in unappealing.

I'm not doing a very good job at explaining, but if you look at this screenie of the default FS9 Bell 206, you can see what I've being trying to describe:


Maybe this is something that they will fix in the beta?

very nice, quite atmospheric there, really get the cold dawn feeling!!
