Agusta A109 helicopter updated!

(1/3) > >>

EHM-1465 Dominic:
Those of you who enjoy flying helicopters will be pleased to hear that our EuroHarmony Agusta A109 has been updated and now works in FSX as well as working even better than before in FS2004  ;)

Details
I have added a clever gauge which was designed by Flightsim guru Rob Barendregt, which enables much more precise control when hovering and transitioning to forward flight - this hugely improves your ability to control the helo in FS2004 (FS9 helos are generally viewed as a nightmare to control) and also in my view improves default FSX behaviour too.

I have also taken the opportunity to make the helicopter FSX compatible, and I've added FSX viewpoints too for your enjoyment!

Details
There is a checklist you can access on the kneeboard as well as some useful documents that you'll find in the aircraft folder, as well as Rob's README file to give you a good idea how his gauge works and its strengths and weaknesses - please read this before posting any questions about hovering the helo ;)

Details
If you've never tried flying a helicopter before, now's the perfect chance to learn, there are instructional articles in the learning centre in FS, numerous articles and websites on the Internet, like www.hovercontrol.com and a whole new world of fun to explore! Here at EHM you can use our helicopters on any Class 1 flight, so get exploring  :D

Thanks a lot Dominic, I'll tried when I was finished with the airplanes... I mean maybe next month or more, nevertheless, thanks for your work  ;)

EHM-1997 Alexander:
Get x-plane for helicopters.

Seriously.

Wait for v10 to come out though, it's soonish.

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
Looking great, Dominic!
Actually, I was just thinking about getting me a set of pedals, this coming summer holidays.
So now I have an additional reason :)

Cheers!

I'd love to get a proper helicopter controls set-up with a separate collective, I've seen one at a Flightsim show a couple of years ago but it would take up a bit too much room I think... It doesn't seem quite right controlling a helo with a CH Yoke  ;D
