Helicopter Country

[Charl]

Looking at the recent Milford Sound thread, I was driven to revisit...with a clutch of rotary wings, courtesy of Flight1's AI helo pack.
Never fails to delight, you can pick your traffic for the specific location, and make it go places.
Although I usually just let them go where they want...

Charl , that Agusta Westland is a must have for the FS9 chopper simmers - Amazing

Beautiful stuff Charl may i ask a dumb question who are the choppers done by?

[Charl]

Marty, Flight1 makes a package which can use any FS plane as an AI helicopter, see

Each time you start it in the sim, it has a look at installed helos and uses them.
You can also tell it what not to use, and customise it in various other ways:- flightplans, helipads etc.
It's one of the most underrated addons in FS I reckon, and I wish there were more lower-poly helos made for it.
You can imagine that loading a couple of dozen hi-res flyables will take its toll on the system...

Ian you are right on the money about the A-W...it's the first helo I've had the confidence to use over anything more than the airport hop.
It has a decent autopilot, excellent handling manners, and it autohovers.
What more would you need?

Matey , not much more the textures on this thing are impressive

Funny you should drop in here, Chris...
These are FS9 reworks of your rather fine FSX paints.
Every time I email you for permission to upload them somewhere, you are having trauma surgery or worse...

EDIT:
And Mr B has done another fine NZ EC120...also since he has shares in the Nemeth factory, he is able to do wonderful custom interiors...
