phil white 274 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I used this sim to hone my flying skills for a lot of my model flying. I think I will reinstall it and do an odd video or two for you to see. Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hello Phil, I use the same software to keep myself sharp (pun intended) on my Blade 400. I've had some fun with the controller in FSX. FSX doesn't really care what you use for input and I've successfully flown the FSX helis using the DX6 transmitter hook up for Realflight. I'm actually quite a bit better on that controller than trying to use the joystick. Using a locked spot external view is quite similar to watching a model fly. It is interesting to note that the stock FSX Robinson flies just like a 3D model heli. The throttle/collective mapping in FSX actually works quite similar to the gentler programmed curves for the Blade 400. Link to post Share on other sites
phil white 274 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 OK everyone here I am flying a Radio Control helicopter. The nose in take off does take some practice. http://youtu.be/get8uvqNoN4 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Looks like fun, love the little smoke effect. Nice flying. Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 That's really nicely done, Phil. I find the smoke effect really helpful to watch the track. Unfortunately for me it's been 30 years since I flew a gasser. All my recent birds have been electric (no smoke). Passages arrived in Vancouver and was launched over the side of the ship today. Lots of work needed to clean her up and get the mast back up - but I'll have my Blade 400 back! Link to post Share on other sites
