I am really enjoying this fantastic sim in VR on the oculus rift and would really enjoy taking a flight around the many beautiful scenery areas you've created but using a helicopter. I have already spent many hours flying in the various aircrafts you've created thus far but was wondering if a trainer type helicopter might be released. If so what should be an honest estimate of when it might be released? Very much looking forward to your implementation of a.i. traffic as well, as flying with others in the friendly skies is just so much fun! Any timelines or approximations for a.i. traffic implementation as well? Thank you dev team.
Helicopter implementation being planned at all?

Finde ich auch 😉

Yes, we need a helicopter.

I’m sure IPACS team is working on it...If I remember well, one year ago a picture with a R-22 was published on Aerofly fs facebook page... But knowing the sense of perfection of the team, I’m pretty sure they delayed this project, because they want to make it perfect 😉. Of course it is only my opinion. Let’s hope IPACS will reply to this tread 😉

Wow ...20 month ago Torsten write this really ... :
-------------------
As you might have guessed, we already have the physics engine for helicopters for our R/C model simulator, so in theory we can upgrade this engine a little, which would allow us to simulate large helicopters. If the physics in the small scale are ‘right’, its not that much work to get it right for bigger helicopters. Its just that demand for helicopters is a lot lower compared to the other features that have been requested, so we are putting a lower priority on helicopters for now. But helicopters are planned, I can assure you. Just don’t ask me yet, when you will see them. Just to give you some perspective, we already have a finished model of a R22. If we do have some spare time, I wish we would have this (laughs), we might even put the R22 into the simulator as a ‘preliminary’ version.

I didnt read this before

The striving for perfection can kill things.

It was Voltaire who said something along the lines of:
Perfect is the enemy of Good.

The concept goes all the way back to Aristotle and Confucius, but Voltaire's formulation is the pithyist one, as usual.
I have posted that quote several times hoping IPACS would take notice.

I think they (ipacs) know that the biggest group want heli ...every other things are (only) nice to have ..
The world waits for a Heli-Sim for VR with good FPS and nice grafics and physics ...
So : letzs cross fingers
-
there already is a heli for AFS1. I don´t understand why it is so hard to make a heli for AFS2.

These cannot be compared. Two totally separate and different code-bases. From what I understand here, AFS2 is closer to the latest RC sim than AFS1.

Get Nemeth Designs on board. We need more 3rd party developers to take this sim to where it should be by now.

I agree.

One day I will learn to tame such a beast. I failed so far, but AeroflyFS2 would be a nice testbed for a restart. That Robinson looks outstanding.
Kind regards, Michael

We may have a nice surprise coming your way down the road a bit
I'll leave it at that for now.
-
I do hope its a real helicopter and not an egg whisk like the R22 or R44
-
Yeees ...
helicopters are all really nice ( except Robinsons) but ... i will take a R22 , when there is the only decision between : no heli in AF2 ... or a R22 )

Ha ha Jeff !!! You said too much or not enough
... But if it is true, it would be fantastic

... But if it is true, it would be fantastic We have been a very quiet lately and I apologize for that, so I wanted to insure everyone that we are ALL very hard at work here.
I will update everyone soon as to what's happening but for now, everyone can ponder over this
