Nemeth AS350 Squirrel has been released (Dec 24, 2011)

I was waiting for this to get released, but, OUCH! Not meaning to sound like a Grinch, but the price (for me) is rather steep considering the times. Looks like I'll be waiting for it to go on sale. I'm in hopes of hearing rave reviews.
 
I have just purchased it but am really annoyed as the instructions to install are as follows.....


Nemeth Designs Aerospatiale AS350 for FSX installer

This installer is packed with WinRAR. To extract the installer from the RAR archives you have to install WinRAR. You can get it from the following website:

How to extract the installer from the RAR archives:
1. Download all the five RAR files from you account (nd_as350_fsx_final.part1; nd_as350_fsx_final.part2; nd_as350_fsx_final.part3; nd_as350_fsx_final.part4; nd_as350_fsx_final.part5)
2. Download and install WinRAR from the site mentioned above.
3. Put all five RAR files into the same directory.
4. Right click on the first RAR file (nd_as350_fsx_final.part1) and from the dropdown menu select "Extract here" option. This will extract the installer to the directory where the RAR files are located. Note that you don't have to repeat this for all five RAR files, once you chose to extract part1 WinRAR will perform the extraction on all five RAR files.


What a lot of hassle considering the cost.
 
Hi

Ive only flown it for 10 mins but it appears that the hassle was worth it from what i have seen so far. Could be one of their best.

put it up on their forums and let them know so next time they can learn from this

it sounds like they have learnt from the a109 F### fight with a usable FDEs in this package

im in no rush, i might toss a coin to decide if I get it tonight
 
I agree jeansy - if it wernt xmas day I would have waited but its actually flying well so far and the vc is great.

from what im seeing around the traps, theres a few having issues with the installer and panel lights
 
Instrument panel light malfunction is very real, Exterior model looks good as does Vc, needs some wear and tear though.

Flight dynamics from what i can work out after a short flight are a fair improvement over the 109 farce.

I am not a painter so cannot comment on the paint kit. Not to mention that i cannot find it either.

Sounds are acceptable for this Helo, some small rotor slap which is nice to hear.

And yes install method is poor for a product in that price range.

All in all though, not a bad Helo.

Cheers.
 
im interested how they go in this as Ive spent a few hours in a 350 as a air crewie, hopefully its something that resembles the cab im familiar to
 
Weather Forecast for the next months :

A WinterStorm of FSX AS350 repaints !
:mixedsmi:
Happy Christmas to all !
 
I fall into the " I use to snap up everything Nemeth put out" but now I am wait and see. Not getting any cheaper but imo not getting any better either.
I just cannot figure out why Dodo is taking so incredibly,agonizingly long. They could have done sold repaints, variants,mods, sceneries......
Yet on the other side of the coin Nemeth use to take time and really were the tops dogs in the wing slinging community.
Not complaining,just thinking out loud but going OT. Coffee mut be kickin in. Good day all.

Because there was no dodo and there weren't these over the top expectations like we have now. I honestly don't see their products taking shorter time, especially with the dodo huey taking how many years so far??

I had an install issue, but it was because of a corrupt/incomplete file. Once I had all the files complete, it went very smooth. I even contacted them on Xmas eve to say I couldn't install and had a response first thing this morning.

Did an hour+ flight this morning before family got here. Love the visual model, nice details, easy on the frames and great VC texturing. On the other hand, I dislike the flight modeling, hard to control and not what I am used to, probably due to the compensation from all the stupid criticism they get from the other models they have. Luckily there is another airfile that comes with it and I'll give that a shot on the next flight. I like the different panels depending on either model (I prefer the B1 panel). Plenty of model variations, although I would have liked a popout floats version.

All in all, for the price you get plenty of models and paints and this is a model I have been wanting for awhile, so I am pleased with my christmas gift to myself and I will gladly pay for the AS355 version if need be!!

Matt, hope you can get over your ire with ND, because I'd love to have some of your paint on this model.
 
Found the paint kit - going to try a UK paint tomorrow
