Lukla in Aerofly FS2 - Preview

  • Isn't there a helicopter that is used for operations in the mount everest area in the real world? I faintly remember it was a French one that also holds the altitude record for a helicopter but I can't remember the exact name.

  • I know Mi-8's can get up there......

  • Ah yes, the AS350. That would be a nice helicopter for AFS 2

    Agree completely!!!

    I'm not a very active member of the Aerofly FS2 community (working on it) but if anyone knows aircraft developers that would be good candidates for an AS350: Now is the time! :)

    ...as I stated in an earlier post: Yes there are two developes who have done a pretty nice job regarding a decent depection of the AS350 in a flightsim! And I've both of them (one for FSX/P3D and one for X-Plane)


    1) NemethDesigns : NemethDesigns AS350 Ecureuil


    2) DreamFoil: Eurocopter AS350 B3 Plus by DreamFoil

  • Ah that looks great already. A definite purchase for me...wow it's been years since I bought anything from Aerosoft...so much more detail in a few years time. Love it!
