Virtavia Merlins now freeware!

What a great way to start the weekend! Thank you so much Virtavia! Thank you Ferry_VO for the HU!:ernaehrung004::ernaehrung004::ernaehrung004:

And if you search for 'Alphasim Merlin' at Flightsim.com you'll find a lot of repaints for both models!
 
Thanks, Ferry!!!

She's a real challenge to land, even with the realism set to EASY. But she's very frame rate friendly, has a superb VC and the visual model is gorgeous. Once you get her going, she clips along nicely and is easy to manage.

Hats off to Virtavia for the generous gift.

Alternative External Sound

Thanks to Virtavia for one of my favourite helicopters! :jump:

I see and hear them quite regularly flying along our coast and decided to create a more dynamic and realistic exterior sound file.
Just unzip and replace the xmer1.wav in the sound folder with this. Don't forget to back up the original.
I hope you enjoy it!

Regards, Stuart

Thanks, Stuart, for the alternate externals.

It would be nice to have a complete set of sounds, including start-up and shutdown for this helicopter. According to the read-me, the start-up and shutdown sequence is not possible in helicopters due to limitations in FS. If that's the case then explain Alpha's Westland Future Lynx....

Can anyone help me lower the ramp? I have tried the "tailhook" command with no luck.

Hi nunweilr,

Have a look in the Options /Controls /Assignments in the task bar.
Maybe you need to re-assign the tailhook function. The ramp certainly works...

Thank you Stuart. I reassigned the same commands as before: again with no luck. I tried another aircraft (fixed-wing) with a tailhook and it worked. I guess I will just fiddle around until I can make it work.
