I thought I'd show it off. http://sdrv.ms/1bVcuiD

Thanks Bill!! I'm loving Prepar3D v2!
Hi Pat,
I'm not really a fan of helicopters myself. Although I have a few I've bought because they looked real nice and I wanted to learn. I never was "fond" of them due to the difficulty to fly them. Even though I've painted quite a few, crashing them was always something I did better than most due to the flight dynamics. Since Prepar3D v2 has been released this has changed. Meaning the crashing part. I don't know what a real helicopter flies like aside from riding in them, so I can't base judgement on the realism in the LM simulation. But it feels more comfortable as compared to FSX and Prepar3D v1.4. I like the experience of having control of them for a change. The more I experience the LM flight simulation characteristics, the more I enjoy flying. No offense meant, but FSX flight modeling that was handled through the simulation, really bites in comparison.
Concerning the helicopter, I'm not sure where I'll go. I'm just enjoying myself.

Animation adventures
I've been experimenting with animations in general for the past couple days. Apparently the servo flaps provide the lift.
With all this being new to me I'm slow at understanding how and why in the mechanical aspects. Some animations for what little they move, in relation to my flight controls are responding strangely over powering. Currently the slightest movement on my rudder pedals (and I do mean slightest nudge) the force it creates in sim is a what seems like a 90 degree left turn. It's not very predictable when trying to fly with fluidity. Helicopters are already hard enough for me to fly with any smoothness!!
I definitely need to do more experimenting.
