  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Bell 206

CowanSim have a B206 coming to MSFS as well, apparently in December according to Helisimmer, so you might wait and see how well that is received before jumping in.

on the other hand, FlyInside flight dynamics feature a full set of helicopter flight dynamics including retreating blade stall which doesn’t seem to be a part of the in-sim flight modelling (yet).
 
Thanks for the information, I think I'll wait then. I think the Flyinside external program allowing the dynamics may be the source of the lag I am having with the B47. I am not the only one experiencing this from what I could find on the interweb. Wish the Dodo would find its way back, I loved flying that thing. Funny because I think the dodo relied on an external flight dynamic program like the Flyinside does, but I never recall an issue with any lag with the Dodo. While helicopters are not easy to fly, people make the mistake of assuming that a simulated difficult to fly helicopter means that it is realistic. :dizzy:

You took the words right out of my mouth lol. I just bought the Cowan B206 :redfire: and came here to let the peeps know.

I bought the Flyinside 206, and I really am enjoying it. Challenging to fly, but I am getting better with each flight. Very maneuverable and works perfectly with Flyinside's Heli Manager software.

Most highly recommended, AND their Bell 47 too!! MERRY CHRISTMAS, Y'ALL! NC
 
No lag with the Cowan 206. I like the way it flies. I think the external flight model is causing the lag with FI and I'm not sure why because the Dodosim never had any lag issues with me (or A2A).
