We are going to have a lot of fun with this helicopter, thanks for listening.
Blown my mind already and have totally lost interest in MSFS 2020 launch., you guys have nailed this one to the wall.
I am now think double throttle on the collective in future and wher I am going to buy one , maybe Komodo.
Keeping the dream alive Aerofly:)

Ehm... so you have the copyright to share these documents?
I think this is fine to share these documents under reasonable use for discussion purposes and critique.

Is the EC135 released in the Alpha???
-
Jan, are you planning on having an "alpha" for the introduction of the EC135 also?
I was hoping to find the Ec135 in the Alpha, best news this year , MSFS 2020 eat your ass off. lol
-
The flight info at the top reads ground speed too, you know
The R22 is a slow aircraft in reality. It doesn't have that much power and is a small and light helicopter.
The upcoming EC135 will get you places much quicker! 150kt indicated is pretty quick
H I hated the r22 until I started flying it ( for real) and now I love the aircraft, its hard work and squirrel like to fly but once you get the feel its like a little go cart , go anywhere but it likes a solo pilot. I thankyou for adding it to this sim as you have given it a beautiful treatment. I cruise at 75 to 85 KIAS and its plenty fast enough !
-
Slightly off topic but I was practising jammed controls in the r22 and it was not working and I was quite annoyed until I then discovered somehow the profi switch was off, I switched it back and all was good, back in a near perfect r22 that acts like the real aircraft! It reminded me how damn good you guys have the r22 programmed. Simply brilliant.

That's alright. We understand that the team at Aerofly isn't the biggest, however they are the most talented bunch out there. You guys perfect whatever you do and we as a community appreciate that to the fullest 😊
I appreciate Aerofly Devs balance their time now between planks and rotary wings. Thankyou Aerofly for looking after the heli simmers.

I did the test on the runway 03L - 21R of Travis air base, the runway is approximately 2.1 mn, and I covered this distance in 2 minutes with the r22, this gives an average speed of approximately 55 kts, being that in the panel of the r22 was scoring 100 kts, I hope they fix this bug
Did you take into account windspeed? I was flying 100 kIAS yesterday in an R44 and the GPS was reading groundspeed of 60KIAS.

Well the developers journey took another step, only on the AH64A this time. Just posted a flyable work in progress, here is the link
https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index…1004-ah64a-wip/
Just enjoy it for what it is at the moment, will improve you heli skills if nothing else.

You are a machine Steve

The only sim looking after the heli community and VR while over at MSFS 2020 we don't count. Apparently they want to do it right so with their billions at MS and Aerofly can just keep delivering real helicopter dynamics and mind blowing VR.
-
Compared to the quality of IPACS add on scenery, they can 😊
Let’s hope for some more good stuff until FS2020 is released and more people abandon AFS2. Really hope IPACS doesn’t lose interest due to the probably very low ROI then 🙁
Well the Heli, Gliders, fast jets and VR fans wont be going to MSFS 2020 .... they dont have anything for them !

Hi Guys
Short developer update.
After a week of frustration I have reluctantly decided to suspend any further development on the CH53E
As can be seen from the attached pic the blades are doing really strange things when collective is applied. The stallion still rears backwards and rolls to the right as the rotor speed increases making engine adjustments pretty much impossible.
This could all be down to the axis assigned to the blade joints but I am unable to see these axis, so any adjustments are a stab in the dark and hope for the best. I have tried using Jetpack's matrix generator but the outcome does not change. So until I can see what is happening I have no choice but to stop work.
I say that it may be the axis. but, it may also be the sim doesn't handle 7 blades very well so until I can rule out the axis it's rain stop play. There is a tool that can display these axis but it is not available to me or anyone else for that matter.
Perhaps a better update next time, till then, time to perfect my super carrier landings ( which are pretty awful)
Steve
Thanks for trying and I am still not bored with the Lynx so its Lynx business as usual for me.

I find myself having to build a new PC and am planning on components that should be good for games coming down the road (but affordable for an old retiree). I really like FS2, especially for the low, slow VFR experience. So this morning I get this wild thought: Would it be possible to go VR now? Can it be affordable (as in "selling it to wife.") Is it worth it? What brands seem to be well thought of? A lot of VR commenters here seem to really like it, while others seem to have tech issues.
I’d appreciate any VR recommendations/lesson learned/etc. you experienced VR folks would like to pass along. Especially like to know approx cost range to get a VR set up that works well enough.
If it helps, my new system specs include: MSI B450 mobo, AMD RYZEN 5 3600 CPU (3.6 to 4.2 GHz), Radeon RX-580 GPU (8gb VRAM), 16gb G.Skill DDR4 3200, 512gb SSD.
Thanks for any thoughts!
I have three VR HMD , Vive pro, Samsung Odyssey and a HP Reverb V2 . For Flight sims the Reverb is magnificent , easy to use easy to setup and 1/3 price of the Vive Pro. The Pro is good for FPS typ games as you need to move around the room . Go for VR its about 500 Pounds for you guys and well worth it.

I'm afraid the Stallion is proving difficult to tame. Now I have added engines 2 and 3 she is not allowing me to set things up. As soon as the rotor speed builds up it rears backwards and rolls left.
Visualising the axis and the way blades move for 2 and 4 blades are quite easy, 3 and 6 become harder but 5 and 7 are pretty much impossible for my tiny brain at the moment. Not being able to see what happens when I make adjustments is like trying to touch someone when you have a blindfold on and they keep moving.
All good fun but pretty soul destroying at times.
Steve
Steve you are a retired Lynx pilot and current Aerofly Guru that gives you the biggest kahunas and bigest6 brains here mate! I am still loving flying your Lynx you gifted us every day ! The cold and dark start up I have down pat and it just immerses you in the sim, thankyou.

Hi Guys
As promised a 2 weekly update to the beast. Please PLEASE remove all CH53E files from any previous install then install these into your user aircraft add on folder.
File available here
https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index…lopers-journey/
So here's what happens in 2 weeks
Texturing finished on the tail section, ramps and elephant ears.
Further modelling in the cockpit around pilots and co-pilot windows.
Started the major work on the TMD. We now have working engines (APP and 3 flight), need lots of fine tuning as they do not have enough power. Added electrical, hydraulic and fuel systems, still more to do to these as I add extra stuff and interlinks between each system. Some gauges now working but will need tuning once the engines all sorted as that work will effect the gauge movement.
You can now get it off the ground, hovers like a bag of S**t but at least it gets off the ground, after some cheating (it weigh's a lot lot less). So much work to do here it's frightening but until the engines behave its just a hover..ish. Canted tail is proving interesting as it want's to roll the heli all the time so some interesting times ahead on this.
Guess you'll want to try it so quick start instructions.
External power on..App lever to run then full (yes textures are wrong needs adjusting)...fuel lever to direct for each engine (first detent).. generators on...ignition on for each engine...push starter button and move throttle to first detent then to full once engine up to 60% ish. You will need all three engine to get enough rotor speed.. then the fun starts..
Not sure yet if the AFCS or trim is working but you can try...push the AFCS cmptr button, afcs button, trim button and servo1 button..Bar alt and heading hold joystick buttons same as Lynx, hopefully.
No I'm not going to tell you where all the buttons and levers are...you'll find em not going to all the work
See you in 2 weeks
Steve
First the Lynx now this is heading our way. Rotary wing heaven , thanks for looking after the Heli guys and girls here as over at MSFS (Microsoft Fantasy Simulator ) 2020 no one gives a hoot!
-
And some AI air traffic
And ground traffic...
And free beer
Id be happy with that.
-
This sounds exciting. I just hope I live long enough to see it. 😕🤨😜
wow its all happening out there in the sim world!
I might add I got the Alpha test on MSFS 2020, no heli No Vr flight model seems not as good as AF2. If you guys can just get the weather ATC going ….

Lol I just saw it
*Big not bug
I thought you were being funny , I liked it lol

We are already working on new bug features at this time
Excellent
