Looking really good mate. And congrats on getting her airborne.

Appreciate the update and your hard work, really looking forward to this.

Can't help you sorry, I have neither. I'm saving up for the next helicopter, don't care what it is or how much it costs. I'm buying it.

Iv also tried to give this new model a chance, but in my opinion its not as real as the previous one. I fly with flightlink professional helicopter controls, collective with twist throttle, floor mounted cyclic and helicopter pedals. I have 180 hours in the real R22 and in my humble opinion the previous model was a much closer redemption of the real R22, it was not at all difficult to fly (if you have the propper controls) it felt just right. My only criticism of it was the exagerated yaw at the end of an auto when you recover by adding throttle, and also the speed could be tweeked a bit, it didn't accelerate after transision quite as much as the real R22, (a working fuel system and carb heat would also be welcomed) but those critisms are minor and I was more than happy to live with them. Unfortunately now I'm finding myself flying DCS huey more than Aeroflys R22 because the new flight model is just not as enjoyable as the previous one.

simple test , real R22 and previous flight model, when you lift off in the real R22 and the previous flight model you need to apply a little bit of left pedal in anticipation of the rotor torque that will catch you when you pull collective , once you apply left pedal and catch the spin you need to stabelize all other movement with the pedals and cyclic before gently raising the collective to lift off into the air. this model requires almost zero left pedal and zero stabelization, you can just pop in to the air without hardly any correction. the previous model was spot on in this regard.

how real pilots are saying that it is more accurate now is beyond me!

Well, the purpose of the beta is to report bugs? this is a BUG. It should get removed and not pushed through to the next stable edition. It's just a tad concerning, that ipacs are not certain what has caused this change in the flight model, as it wasn't purposely changed. Hopefully they find out.

Hope Ipacs revert this, there are some minor tweaks that need to be done to further improve the r22, but not this.

Funny you should say that, I also thought I noticed a change, I even double checked if the update didn't maybe default me to easy mode, seems to be needing less left pedal when pulling collective for take off, than it did before the update.

Absolutley , It's a fun challenge , and also helps you fine tune the skill required for pinnacle landings under low power. You need to time your approach perfectly so that you transition from forward flight directly on to the IGE air cusion provided by the helipad. a steep aproach (15 degree aproach angle) with a well timed flare is essential. and very rewarding when you pull it off.

Quote from Jet-Pack

Realtime multi-body simulation, e.g. with changes in center of gravity and inertia as you lower or retract the landing gear.

Curious, does fuel level have any effect on c of g and performance. IE would a working fuel system on the R22 effect the c of g and performance?

Yes you can!

Can everyone please give that tweet by x-rotors some likes, so that they feel our love. It only got 3 likes! We need to really get behind these developers that show an interest in aerofly fs2.

Also love the big gunship boat, the one by the cruise liners in key west. Although not landable, still a lot of fun hovering and keeping position over the stern.

Very Impressed, especially the boats!! Well Done drhotwing1 (IPACS) . Looking forward to seeing more of this in other areas.

imagine how awesome it would look if the cars lights displayed at night.

Thank you.

For me new York runs very smooth, (settings all ultra) my only problem scenery is netherlands true earth, all other orbx sceneries run smoothly.(I have everything that orbx has made for aerofly)

But with netherlands true earth my humble 970 gTx runs out of memory.

I only use vulkan.

Does aerofly put haze in specific areas? Even with high visibility and no clouds some areas always have haze, I haven't flown in these areas in real life so don't know if it's realistic. Just wondering if it's area specific eg LA probabbly does always have haze, does aerofly simulate this regardless of your settings?

Malta cultivation? Is this available anywhere? I live in Malta. Would crawl over broken glass for a Malta cultivation. Please can you share? 😁

Working fuel system to add to this list. Would be fabulous.

Is there a way to turn off the 2d display to the monitor completely? So that all available processing is utilized in the headset and not wasted on the monitor.

to be added to wishlist: Please consider adding the Limitation Placards EG the Limit manifold pressure 5 minute takeoff rating Placard inside the VR cockpit of the R22.

Thanks

Anyone know if the r22's landing lights work? if yes how do you turn them on? If not please add to wishlist😊. Loving the r22 BTW awesome model by ipacs, have not fired up any of the other simms since you released it, thank you!
