I've been trying to learn how to fly heli chopper type thingies.

It dun makes ma brain hurt Wink

I've been doing this all week on full realism and I am sort of getting the hang of it Grin

Here is a log of my most succesful flight.

Today kids we are flying an Agusta 109a chopper.

We depart now rather nicely (for my standards at least Wink

)

Gathering speed I belive this to be the easy bit.

A bit of sight seeing.

My first succesfull hover Cheesy

Phew back down on terra firma.

I think I shall have to keep trying but I am getting there.

Serious goodlooking Helo! Nice flying also. Those helo's are not as easy as one would think...

Very nice shots.

It comes from www.hovercontrol.com look in the ultimate choppers section and you'll find this little beaut along with many others. I think it will work in both 2k2 and 2k4.

Sure. This is EGKA Shoreham airport all scenery (trees, bridges, buildings etc...) is default. I think it is a fairly good represesntation of the airfield. The water is not default and I have Ramsa to thankt for that (sorry I haven't e-mailed you but I'm having problems with it.)

Thanks, well I didnt see this one there, but I did get a few others, and one that seems to look like this one but not the same paint.

Oh well, maybe it is I'll see when I install. Wink

What's it's name, im not sure, it looks like a Bell 222 but not quite.

Oh well, there is no "Ultimate chopper"section and I've searched all the sections availible, and only one called A109E Power Demo and it's a repaint for fs2000 that's less than a meg in size and couldnt be it, not with all those features. Hmm must be some other site.
