Half a Dozen Helos

[Charl]

Just a test flight, there have been updates to the sim and H145, thought I'd take a look.















OK I miscounted...

Wow..... number 1 is a standout, but number not 6 is also superb...nice sharp silhouette details.

[Naki]

Tauranga's new rescue chopper is an H145 ...wonder if that scheme will pop up somewhere...

The cockpit panel is beautiful

What mountains were you flying over?

Aharon that is a flight along the Buller Gorge, West Coast South Island.
Paul: Would that be the ex-Otago one? I have that and a trio of other NZ liveries, good to see painter interest in this bird.
Eagle-eyed Marty: the sim allows you to set manual focus for screenshots. #1 was set to 5m or thereabouts.
So the door rivets are sharp, but the fenestron is already a bit fuzzy.

Feels a bit like a photoshoot, this sim.
And it's an incredible model, with many variants and mission packs etc etc.
I do not do it justice, I can barely figure out how to install the basepack update, never mind set waypoints to the accident scene and drive the winch
In fact, the panel shot above will reveal that the Main Gearbox Warning is showing.
One should then carry out maintenance work as a priority: I just change aircraft...flightsim has room for us all.

The detail and texturing quality is superb. Stitching on the seats and the scratches and dings on the second to last shot.

Yep ex Otago one...not sure if there are any changes planned on the livery
