Thanks Buddy!
Yeah its what i thought, i have a very modest pc that runs my xp11 very nice with X-A clouds whatever addon (not remember exactly the name) and FSGRW, pretty and smooth and will stay with it 
i7 920, 24GB RAM, GTX 1060 w/6GB is not the rig for xenviro.
Anyway, Iām really happy with what i get even with complex addon like ff a320/b757/Toliss a319/tu154m/a300/ā¦
they surely recommend 8GB+ of VRAM so it is really resource hogā¦ but man, it looked great
Yes, i believe thats great, because i see from oficial screenshots, but to have the same inlive experience as if iām still watching screenshots (like a slide show because very low fps and stutter like hell), no thanks.
Also for clouds addiction I open msfs 
I also couldnt sacrifice my current settings and FPS I get at 4K. Flying now over South Africa I have it locked in nvidia control panel on 60FPS and thats nice and smooth ride
Inisimulation, the guys who did the A300, have released some info on the next releaseā¦the A310!!!
Looks like it could be released early 2021. More info after the 4th of January. Exsisting A300 customers are set to get a 35% discount off the A310.

Apparently Torquesim is about to release a turboprop version of their BN-2 Islander.

Snooze. Another helicopter. Just kidding! I can never get enough. I donāt know much about Cowan. Their marketing video shows lovely artwork and a feature-rich plugin. Iāve got an email in with the dev to see it it works with VR manipulators. If so, Iāll buy.

Yeahā¦I saw that helo pop up yesterday on the .ORG front page. Looks kinda nice. My hospital system used to operate 222s (both wheeled and skids) so I have an affinity for them. That whoop-whoop-whoop of their blades could be heard from a county away as they approached.

That heli is in my priority wishlist, is very beautiful and remembers me the Airwolf tv movie/series when i was kid.
I hope the FM and systems are well done.
Itās OK.
Naw! Itās better than that! I bought it after the dev wrote me back with assurances that it would work fully with VR manipulators. (I hate being such a PITA with those poor people but, hey! He made the sale). In terms of refinement, I would put it above the two VSKYLABS helos I own (and am perfectly happy with). In terms of artwork, I place it just below Dreamfoilās S300 and 407 and X-Tridentās 412. The cockpit and rotorhead are flawlessāand I mean that in a negative sense. Some scratches, stains, a bit of missing paint would help a bunch. He makes up for it with an amazing array of configurations for both cabin and paint. The virtual plugin handheld app works really well. It also has a feature I havenāt seen before. In an seated position, you can use in-app arrows to adjust in 3 dimensions. You then look straight ahead and click āsaveā. The next time you boot the helicopter, your position is recalled. This feature seems to replace the standard X-Plane spatial slew keys as they donāt work. The advantage is that the setup in the 222 is never forgotten. The sounds are also very good. Right up there with the DF 407. Systems-wise I canāt really comment other than to say things seem to function plausibly. The flying qualities also seem believable. Sheās quick and looks a million bucks. There is a perfectly fine (FREE!) Bell 429 out there though. I think this machine would better separate herself from that one if the cockpit art showed the age and character of the older machine. Iāve been boning up on helicopter aerodynamics recently and awhile back learned that the 222B was the first helicopter certified single pilot IFR without SAS. Sheās stable the old fashioned wayāgood engineering.

about systems? all works? (radios, engine management, electrics, ā¦)
I canāt answer that because I know practically nothing about the B222. I can only say that the model SEEMS believable and full-featured.
EDIT (2 days later): BS! I screwed up. Moving onā¦
Thanks!
I wanted to buy the wheeled version first but they did run xmas sale so I went for bundle. I did maybe two flights in it since but it feels very good imo.
I mean the price point is very good and it is very functional. The startup / shutdown procedures are realistic (engine management) and iirc all switches are clickable in the cockpit and all systems simulated to some extent (radios, electrics, ā¦ ).
And one another selling point, it is constantly updated. I just ācant keep upā with the email updates receiving from Cowan Sim
If you have any other questions @stavka feel free to ask. That will at least allow me to update it and fly it again ( till I earn enough gold in AirHauler so I can purchase it for my virtual company 
she will be great hauler I guess ).
Wish every developer offers some kind of demo of their products.

Thanks yeah definitely i will buy it soon
Ok, thanks for the update i will keep it in mind! I have the mentioned helis since long time and like them (412, 407, 429).
So for what i could understood you feel it too much like if the controls and centre of gravity is on the same point +/-, not having the feeling of you are in a place thats heavy and suspended on the controlable part that is in the top of it.
Yes, idk how this b222 should feel in comparing with a 407 because for example when i see a Merlin heli doing a full 360Āŗ roll i think that some helis can roll more crazly easy than others.
