  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Taog Huey Released

This has been one of the best purchases I've made. This is just a joy to fly and heaven to listen to. Stunning quality and great value for the money.
I already slapped a fictional personal paintjob on it (just modified from the included Japanese paint) and set out on some bad weather SAR. It's the most fun you can have with your pants on.

How does this fly?

I've only got the default choppers and they are a pig to fly without looking like an aerobatic pilot! not sure whether I need to do some refinement on controller settings or something else.

Cheers

Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't get any emails from .to, so it would have been a while before I saw the update. It's a really nice update. The only thing I had to adjust in my personal repaints was the clipboard (which I had re-colored), since they added a new function.

It's really good -- very responsive and predictable, but (like most helicopters) it takes a bit of practice and can get away from you if you're not paying attention. For me, this is the most controllable heli in the sim, and it's the only one I really like to take on long flights. However, it's not "arcade" easy, either (keep an eye on your torque). I'm not a RL rotorwing pilot, but this feels realistic.

That's good to know thanks. I don't want 'easy' settings, I enjoy having to work at it, but there's something about the default ones that doesn't feel real which is hard to explain as someone who has only ever flown fix and flex wing aircraft! I might splash out then :)
