• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

A few years ago Nemeth announced the release of their H-53, the Pilot Shop at Flightsim stated that it was for FS9 and FSX so I picked it up the first chance I got. Found out that I was FSX only and was not happy that I had blown that money on something I could not use. Oh, well I put the zip file in a HD folder and went on my way. Now that I have FSX I installed it the other day and ran it last night.

I'm happy I waited, and happy that I saved the file for later use. This is one bird you have to use the check list for preflight and start up. Once I got the blades turning it was into the air for a quick check flight. Better than I expected, and better that I did wait, I have more helo time under my belt, when this came out I would not have had a good flight. I even hit the flight deck of the USS New York while the boat was moving. Not pretty but I did it, the launch was better.

I am now realizing how much I missed out listening to and reading about all the bad things about FSX, and I regret parroting those same comments. Should have done the switch years ago.
 
Just recently made the FSX convert, myself. It's a much better sim; however, it still needs some tweaking to get silky FPS out of it. I still won't be going back to FS9, even though I have 1000x more invested in FS9 over the years. Hey, if you're gonna, ya gotta just move on at some point. :ernae:
