    Why not buy all three? then you will have one heli for each one of my needles lighthouses LOL :D

    Not sure whats going on here! must be a bit of a scenery clash between JF real, UTX Europe and the GenX lighthouse, but at least if you miss the first landing pad! you have another two to try for "LOL" :D

    Not sure what Dai will make of all this when he see's it :whis:

    Hi Graham

    I had a look at the sale and it's €22.36 so I guess the price is just about what you say.

    Nemeth appear to have a couple of good models too, ahh, decisions!!

    Cheers,

    Joe

    Not trying to push you into a corner, but if your going to get another heli, GO FOR THE HUEY :) or even the Cerra Bell 222 thats not on sale ATM but everyone seems to rate these just under the Dodo-sim 206 but that one is over $60 CND for me in Canada :(.

    I was chatting with Sabre last night about getting another heli, and I was sure that I wanted the Cerra Bell most, but I never could resist a good sale so got the huey instead "LOL" :D .

    Think I let you see this vid of the Cerra Bell 222 before, but have another look just incase you forgot about it ;) .

    And another of the B222 that I just found on youtube

    Graeme (hope that's right) -

    Nope your thinking of the other one ;) .

    I was in the ND BO-105 at the time so not sure if it was that or not, but I just got the Huey X, I'll give it a try in that one later to see if that heli loads on the pad instead of on the rocks, will also try to install the needles lighthouse scenery again if I can ever find it again "LOL" :D.

    Hi Graham,

    Whilst the wife's asleep the pilot will play, I like it :thum:

    I have been looking at the Huey, how easy is it to land, (where you want!)

    Hello Joe :) .

    Can't really say its easy to land (for me, that is!), as I still get the crash screen a lot (but then again I was trying to land on a road in deepest Cornwall at the time, I would think that people with a lot of heli hours under their belts should be able to put this bird down on a sixpence ;) ).

    I also have the ND BO-105 which is a nice looking heli, but the Aerosoft Huey knocks the spots off it in all aspects, the Huey is a lot easier to fly low and level, and it's very smooth running, which is perfect for looking at your scenery.

    The cockpit looks so good you would think it had been made in the A2A studio if you know what I mean :).

    Now that I have read through the manual a bit it seems that a lot of stuff on Huey X runs in a module outside of FSX, and I think thats why the FPS is so good.

    Think that the Aerosoft 20% off sale is on for another day, I'll give you the link for the US store below, think that I got it for about $25 CND so that should be about 16 UK pounds (I think :unsure: )

    Thanks for that Dai.

    Just tried loading a flight from the needles lighthouse, very sad though because as soon as the flight loads, I get the crash screen and I'm on the rocks below the light house :( .

    I think that the needles lighthouse scenery was made for GenX, and I have justflights real scenery so that may be the problem?

    With the wife safely sleeping, I decided to take advantage of Aerosoft's sale of Huey X ;) .

    My first impresions are very positive with this heli add-on, frame rates are very smooth for a aircraft that has such a detailed cockpit, I have my frames locked at 30 FPS and the new heli is right up there is the very hight 20's all of the time, also the sound pack that come's with it is superb :)

    (even Sabre would enjoy this one ;) ).

    I'm useing Justflights UK photo scenery, the airfield in the first shot is RNAS Culdrose in Cornwall.

    so now that you have had some time in the new A2A P5, what are you first thoughts about it and how does it compare to the Warbird sim "D" mustangs???

    Just asking as I have just seen the WBS "Twilight Tear" http://www.warbirdsim.com/ which is a plane I would like to have in my hanger, do you have any plans to paint this one on the A2A model?

    comparing the two, mmmmm, tricky...

    Warbirdsim has all the different models, with all their subtle differences completely 100% correct, and they look truly fantastic.

    A2A has just one model, well OK, also the Iwo version with all the antennae, but the depth of the systems is far superior to the WBS version.

    Also, it does not look bad at all, though there are some errors in the external model. Not quite what you'd expect from A2A, but there nonetheless.

    So the choice is yours really. You don't care that much about overheating the oil, or passing out do to a defective oxygen system? Go for WBS.

    You don't care that the instruments are not 1000% as they were in that particular aircraft, or that the shape of the tail, nose or canopy is not perfect? Go for A2A.

    Me, I have both, and I am quite happy with them.

    As for "Twilight Tear", the aircraft is currently not on my list to paint (and the list is long), so don't count on it coming from me.

    Besides, I am not really that interested in modern warbirds, me, I try to honor the actual young guys flying these things during WWII by painting their aircraft.

    Thanks for that JK, I'll just sit on the fence for a while and see if A2A bring out a patch to fix some of that stuff, before I pull the trigger on anything ;) .

    Cheer's...Graham...

    PS: I'm sure that Sabre would not be too bothered by those little things though ;) .

    Nice video, love the dolphins!

    I am pleased to see that I am not the only one to achieve a precision landing on the Needles lighthouse! :D

    One of my AH AI Pilots did it in an Embraer 175 last week :P;):D .

    Nice video Dai :thum:

    When your in the copper, do you have crashes switched off? just asking because even if I make a nice smooth and slow touch down in the MBB 105 I get the aircraft crash screen :( .

    Not much of a rotorhead myself so I don't have a clue about this stuff ;) .

    Nice shots Joe :thum:

    We have a TV show over here called "Dust Up" don't know if you can get it in the UK, but have a look at the trailer anyway :) . (Be warned that these guys fly silly low, even flying under the powerlines that cross some of the fields)

    Matters have come to a head after the third £30K plus accident in 8 days. After the latest incident the company Cargomaster - S3DER has been blacklisted by the "More or Less Than Insurance Company". The aircraft which has suffered significant damage recently can no longer be insured.

    :rofl:

    Coming home i found a letter in the mailbox signed by a Chief Clown, saying he gives me an ultimatum to stop my business. I reckon it's just the neighbours kid with some sort of practical joke!

    Looks like another one of Mad Mikes little tricks, take my advice and stay away from him! he'll throw a spanner in your works at the first opportunity he gets.

    BTW: Welcome to the world of airhauler, come on over to Rotterdam sometime if your ever looking for some fun and games :) .

    Looking great as always. :thum:

    I haven't taken the plunge on this one yet but you are tempting me a lot :D

    Oh! go on, you know that you want it really, you was talking about this one for months before it was released ;) .

    BOT: Very nice paint job JK, looking forward to seeing what others you come up, would be nice to see some of the WBS P51 skins ported over to the new A2A plane :) .

    Cheer's...Graham...

    PS: Bet that Sabre adds this one to his hanger by the end of this weekend :P ,

    (don't tell your wife ;) ) .
