Nemeth BK-117 Released

[SeanTK]

On Nemeth's website. Personally very wary of the company due to multiple poor experiences, but if anyone decides to get it, post some shots.

Ditto, unfortunately I am an eternal optimist so will no doubt get it sometime, but not until after the Milviz MD530F

I'll probably end up buying it tonight sometime. Standby for some screenies!

If anyone has this thing, can they provide a comprehensive review?
Looking for info on the following factors:

1. Systems. Are they semi-realistic? Any problems in switch and/or guage operation?
2. Flight Dynamics. I see there is a third-party improvement for the FD on flightsim.com. Verdict?
3. What's it like under IFR conditions? Can you shoot an ILS, LOC, VOR/DME, and NDB approach with it successfully? Can you track the compass direction accurately in clouds? (Nemeth historically has a problem with their HSI instruments acting like a wet-compass would...with turn errors.)
4. High quality soundset with sounds for the blades at different power settings, avionics, etc?

Any outstanding issues?

Watching a recent post showing UH-1s , and this is one thing that is very dynamic from the outside, sure that will be an area studied and adjusted , you get the same sort off sound affect with warbird doing there flybys.

1. The systems are reasonably good no problems so for, the majority of of buttons and switches are clickable and do something

2. Flight dynamics are on par with the majority of ND's other machines so.... meh. Not bad but not great could do with improvement

3.Untested as yet

4. Sounds are terrible. Aside from start up and shut down there is just a constant sound whatever your RPM. Inside is a constant whine, outside is pretty accurate to what a BK sounds like but still a constant sound
