Wilco: Tilt Rotor (Bell Agusta 609)

bazzar the Fs9 version is missing the USCG paint and im haveing a series Frame issue in comparision to the FSX version. Looking forward to the Fs9 version patches. As to the FSX version im having a blast and fun with her. Thank You:applause::applause::applause:
 
Bazzar, I know I have been pretty hard on AH... especially on that P-38. If this is all it lives up to be in the videos, I applaud you guys. Work like this should be rewarded. People don't often stand up and say "good job thinking out of the box guys."

I will surely hand over a few dollars on principle alone for this product. Might be a little while though, Christmas is kicking my butt... Regardless, this looks to me like a must have bird.

No official statement of course, but take it from me that the FSX version is native FSX model, not a FS9 port-over.

:costumes: When I saw the video, first thing I wondered was whether you might have had something to do with the project. :applause:
 
Thanks mate, much appreciated. Tilt has to be viewed as the real thing is viewed, prototype. it gets certification in 2010. A lot of the work has been based on trial and error, the real nightmares coming from the fact that MS FSX (and FS9 for that matter) does not cater for transitional flight profiles so we had to make it work ourselves. With Rob and Jerry, we have a really smooth result. This thing really will go anywhere ( room permitting!) a helicopter will go, land on a carrier, building roof and a moving ship and VSTOL into ridiculously small fields.

BTW the FS9 version does not include Coastguard or Gunship. The sim just won't cope with the extra detail and features they were built for the FSX helicopter/rig missions in mind, in FSX.

The real aircraft is only in prototype form for Executive and Multi-role forms so those are the ones we have done for FS9.

Glad you're having fun, that's why she was built. The missions are worth doing once you have a level of confidence in the handling. She does bite if she's not treated right but I don't know of many aeroplanes that give the level of satisfaction this one does when you get it right.:costumes:
 
HeHe, I just back converted the CG paint to Fs9. Good ole DXTBmp. Now i have the best of both sims in the USCG Paint.:ernae:
 
Ummm...of course, you can always do that...:costumes:

If you back off the alpha (or blank it out) on those spinners they'll look a bit better.
 
When I saw it flying backwards from the hover, my response was "Hmm... I seem to remember a gauge that does that." :icon_lol:

I'm off to check my funds, I think...

There's one of these in X-Plane. It was one of the flight models I liked the least, which is a pity, because it's one of the reasons I most wanted to try X-Plane.

I have to say that there are so many good products coming up for sale in the next few weeks from the top producers that I would have to see some really great repaints of this one before purchasing.
 
The site says "frame rate friendly" and Baz says it should run well on a powerful machine. Before I buy, though, I'd like a little more specific performance report. For those of you who have already purchased: if you get "x" average FPS in FSX with the default C172, and you get "x-y" with the 609, what is your "y"? Also, is there a sigificant difference in FPS between the external model and the VC?

Any replies would be helpful (even though FSX is a funny animal and results will vary). Someone with a similar system to mine would be extra helpful. My specs are below:

nVidia nForce 680i SLI DDR2 800 motherboard
CoolerMaster 700W Power Supply
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor
SATA 300 500GB Hard Drive
nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB GDDR3
2 Gigs of 1066MHz RAM
Vista Home Premium 32bit
HP 22in widescreen monitor at 1680 X 1050

Which in my mind means it NEEDS a powerful system to run it, so I guess I'll be waiting till I eventually upgrade till I can get it.

Thing is, some with low end specs actually get decent performance with the Aerosoft F-16, even with such HUGE MDLs, but I just don't feel like risking it (been there, done that).
