HPG EC145 updated to early access version 3 last week. Definitely seeing gains in the flight modeling and engines. Many avionics enhancements as well.
I’m guessing the core MSFS physics (geared for fixed wing) is still the limiting factor. I feel like I’m on rails at times. What do I know, I’m just a fixed wing puke with a couple hours of R22 instruction (years ago). My only comparisons are the combat helos in DCS which all have their unique (and deadly) handling characteristics. But this is still super fun to cruise around especially in NeoFly.
nice, saw it on sale also… but my level of understanding of this arcraft is… dont even think about coming any close to it
thx! that 152 is nice, but I guess I will leave it in Monrovia. my eye was caught by other Cessna but 170 from Carenado. thats my type of plane for now
and use your AFE as much as you can. Understand what they are doing when you set them to a particular mode and don’t be afraid to let them do their checklist thing and then turn them off to retain authority of the engines if their settings aren’t working for you.
That will take you a long way until you learn the systems and set things for yourself…if you want.
Thank you! Oh my goodness, that AFE chap is great - I actually did a successful flight, first time. Heaps of stuff to learn, did not even try the AP and quickly decided that without it, my best bet was the old Garmin 430 rather than try radio navigation. I had a wonderful flight. Just need to catch up on reporting again…
So far I really like it. She is quite twitchy, and you need to keep her speed up. I’m not a big fan of having to use an external app to get the airplane fueled up, add drop tanks etc (Just Flight’s Hawk does all this in the sim with a tablet). Still, they used the same sort of thing with the Gina, so it was to be expected I guess. Definitely fun to fly. I now need to get the ground radar up and running.
