I really have enjoyed the AS Huey. There is some misconception about the designation of it, I think. It is listed as a UH-1D, which is correct for the German designation/builds. Germany license built UH-1's and they were called UH-1D's in their service. They were the same as the UH-1H in US Army service. The other model that AS depicts is the 205A1, which is a newer varient of the Huey platform that uses 212 gear such as the right handed T/R. I haven't shut the bird down to see if it has the 212 rotor though, with its "step" or tooth that the original 205 blade didn't have. Guess I should do that.
It is fun really loading the beast down and flying around.
There is an update to change the interior text from German to english, so that is no big deal. It flies great, the animations are nice, and it doesn't totally nuke my framerates. There are a few repaints out there for it, but I do wish there were more. Like most new releases, the repaints start pouring in, then they trickle in. But then, if you have something specific you are looking for, you can always ask someone if they can do it. This community is fantastic in that sense. And many people can benefit from one persons wish.
I really doubt you can go wrong in either case though. Each will be fun.
