Nemeth Designs Hind Development Shots

For what it's worth, they've posted some development shots for their Hind.

On a "personal opinion" note (that can be deleted if requested), I've been increasingly hesitant with Nemeth products as of late, due to a number of technical issues (some rather significant) that appear and are either never fixed, or fixed months/years later. Additionally, in my opinion, their current, vocal, beta testing team seems to be less than competent when it comes to the more technical aspects of helicopter and avionics operation. Oftentimes, the more technical support requests in their forums are met with no-response, or a response indicating that they simply don't know the answer. The amount of significant issues in their last few releases is also indicative of this sentiment.
This is being stated due to the fact that this is a foreign, specifically Russian helicopter with likely the most complex suite of avionics that they have released since the original Hind (and other Russian helos) back in the FS2004 days. I'm not sure if their existing testing team will be able to effectively mitigate any errors.

Anyway...a new Hind is coming up....
 
Thanks for the link! I was thinking about getting the last Hind that was released, but wasn't to impressed with the visual model, but now that I know about this one, I am hopeful.

Personally I have no serious issues with the nemeth models (ugly rotor animation in some), guess I have different expectations/needs than some. No matter how well/realistic a model "supposedly" flies in the sim, if the visual model takes away from the immersion for me, I stop using it which is the main reason I don't have the dodo 206. the Nemeth AS355 is my default aircraft with the Nemeth/Milviz huey being my second go to, then the A109, then the BO 105, then the AS 350, etc. My point being that without the Nemeth models, my sim time and experience would be very lacking.
I REALLY miss them placing virtual pilot models in the VC as an option in their earlier models, it is what makes me use those models more over others. there are lots of times i record a flight and replay it while in a different seat and the lack of a visual pilot kills the experience.
