You're right Ray, I am waiting, too.

As a by-product, wouldn't a chopper require plane-specific controller profiles? I can't imagine to use the same controller settings for a chopper as for an A320 as for an...

Currently I have a couple of profiles which I switch by copying over, but this technique reminds me on early DOS days.

Kind regards, Michael

Michael,

I bought a book - Learning ti Fly Helicopters by R. Randall Padfield. The 2nd edition seems to be up-to-date. There are not many books with good reviews or recommendations.

The only thing I am going to do differently is reverse the throttle direction so I pull up for the collector.

The early days of FSX had a very good simulator tutorial for flying helicopters (Just text). It is still available with a good search.

Regards,

Ray

from the Brunner website . . .

Within the timeframe of April 18th to April 21st, the AERO 2018 exhibition will take place in Friedrichshafen. With more than 600 exhibitors from 35 countries, 33.000 visitors and 600 journalists from all over the world, the AERO Friedrichshafen is the international aviation community’s annual meeting place.

BRUNNER Elektronik AG will present various products from its impressive portfolio of innovative Control-Loading-Systems and Simulation Systems. A true highlight of AERO 2018 is the new VR-Motion 200 Virtual Reality Flight Simulator, which will be presented at AERO the first time. Highlights from BRUNNER’s CLS portfolio are the new CLS-E Joystick and the powerful CLS-P Cyclic. On top, BRUNNER will use the AERO environment for launching a brand-new CLS Product. Are you curious? Well, then come and see!

IPACS Gbr is at booth A6-409.

This kind of relates to one of my suggestions for improvement -- the ability to save/load controller profiles. But IPACS questioned the need, so not sure it's on their To-Do list.

Yep, we're on the Aero and I flew the R22 on the motion platform today. It was great fun, come visit us if you can

Haha, and I don't think this is rocket science to implement.

Just some impressions from the Aero today.

The booth of Brunner-VRmotion-IPACS was always crowded during the hours I have been there.

Unfortunately I missed to take a foto of Jet-Pack . I'm really sorry Jan!

Great !!! Waiting patiently that this R-22 arrives....

Jay 737 · April 19, 2018 at 11:34 PM

so what did you guys think about Brunners force feedback controls?

Did you not change your mind from our last debate?

I enjoyed it quite a bit on the r22 platform.

Rajuha · April 20, 2018 at 8:37 AM

wenn will you release the copter for all?

Thx.

"Currently I have a couple of profiles which I switch by copying over, but this technique reminds me on early DOS days."

pls make it like xplane. Profile per plane. This would be great 👍

Somebody nows the price tag for the brunners Motion platform?
