R22 collective configuration question and a development teaser

  • Thanks so much for the two versions of the R22. This way guys like me who like an aircraft that they can get into the air quickly can do so, and my friends who appreciate study level birds can enjoy themselves too. Please maintain this approach to any future aircraft.

    The helicopter is gorgeous, but then the entire sim is!

    It is the same helicopter, just stabilized by a sort of "autopilot". Even if you chose the easy version it is the exact same physics.

    And yes, we are always keeping beginner pilots in mind and will offer features to easy the use of our complex aircraft.

  • And that, Jan, is why I came to FS2 after many years of ATP, MSFS, and XPlane...to light the fire and enjoy putzing around on a whim (Hey, I wonder what's behind that ridge over there?). So looking forward to exploring the nooks and crannies of the great looking scenery with the R22! Add some more VFR-helpful nav maps, and I'm even happier ('cause I'm not getting lost as much!) 8)

  • How about some liveries? Please note that the liveries may change before release so these are just tentative.

    Italian flag is flipped?
