The other night, I went for my first "long" helo flight. It was just over 60 miles....and in a helo, that is a LONG challenging flight. Helo of choice was the freeware Alphasim Hughes 500 with a new skin I have been putting together for it. Starting point was Concrete Municipal in Washington state to some tiny little grass strip place that I picked out on the GPS when my hand and wrist got tired from flying the 500 over mountains in strong shifting winds. The scenery was amazing and the view through the glass nose of the 500 made it very easy to see.

AP wouldn't have worked on that flight. Most of the time, I was just above the tree tops and adjusting altitude to match the terrain. The pic I posted was taken just after I flew over the top of a ridge line. Once I took the screenshot, I nosed down into a power dive, followed the curvature of the backside of the slope and returned to tree top level flying.

The autopilot is nice but that, helitrim DOT zip, is the all round thing to have for all general helo flying. Takes the tension out of the stick on helos and makes them very pleasurable to fly, especially on long cross country trips and makes hovering a lot less tentious too.

Of coarse with the autopilot you can sit in the back seat and enjoy the views on a trip while your pilot flys the helo.

What Dauntless is in the first screen shot? Too detailed to be the CFS2 one, has a prop so it's not the freeware Alphasim one, engine cowl is correctly rolled in so it's not the FDG2 one. I have been looking for a really nice Dauntless for FS9 for a while.

Has anybody else ever wondered why this thread has never been made a 'Sticky'?
On it's way to breaking all records, it's always up there in the top 10, but is anything other than 'normal'! It's amazing! :applause:

The WOW thread was stickied for a while...then got dropped from the stickie section when it got kind of slow. I think being permanently stickied or moved into the FS Tweaks and Tips sub-forum would be a good idea....maybe moving it into the subforum along with the Freeware Gems and Making FS9 Look Great for Free threads since this thread really give a visual look at a lot of enhancements for FS9...both free and payware.

Will mention this down in the staff forum.
