I can't wait I try this stuff...

Each time I read comments on the missions, I remember about what people kept saying back in the past when we learned FSX would have those missions. Everybody was thinking only about FS becoming a game... I immediately thought something like "Wow, MS is doing it 'Search And Rescue'-style, that's great, that's completely great".

The fact is that those mission are not just done for the fun of it, they really are a challenge to your pilot skills.

im gonna try that mission later,
i cnt wait for some of the addon missions that will appear. gonns be soo good in a years time or least hopefully

Thanks for headsup, Mic . . . I haven't got around to this one yet but have flown FS helos since FS98 when we used to land atop the WTC buildings.

My FSX Mission dilemma is getting credited for completing the one into St. Maarten's; I've landed and exited at the first turnoff but am thinking maybe one has to rollout to the end of the runway.

After three TNCM attemps (and good, shortfield techniques), it's time to try something else to get my badge. Gee, just like when I was in BoyScouts

FSX Missions suck! SUCK I TELL YA!! 

I think you need to land at the end of the walkway, one side will be burning other will have LOTS of stuff but thats the only way I can see.

tomarrow afterschool,  thats the first mission im going to try. I saw it in a video and have wanted to do it. I must say the dynamics of the helocopters are much better this version

I'm reminded of airshows, air races, RC club "fun flys" and such where the sole purpose is to have fun!

How may real world pilots have done such  fun things as flying to Main to pick up some fresh lobster for the days BBQ? Or, how about flying to an airport just for lunch because of the great burgers to be had at the airport cafe'..... solely because it would be fun !

Yeah, "missions" have their place.

That was before we realized these missions are difficult,  its now clear to me that some random yahoo cant just come in and fly this stuff, you gotta learn to fly choppers for this particular mission. Ive been flying FS helos since CFS and i am haveing trouble with picking up the last guy!

*perks up*

you say something about airshows?

Hey Mic,

I gave the mission a run today and did it in one shot, did you make sure the flight dynamics are as high as possible? This way the 206B reacts best.

Do you land into the wind at a slow decent rate? Quik movement could easily throw you off, they dropped in quite a high wind in my oppnion makes it challenging though, shame the flight dynamics still lack a lot of common things(rotorwash, blade stall, boom strike etc.)

The first guy is near the helipad, the second guy is at the north black tower, and the third is between the 3 cranes at the catwalk, you can pick it up by slowly hovering next besides it because you can obviously land a heavy 206BIII on a catwalk .

Remeber, steady and small input works best, dont forget to tune up your sensivity and nullify the null zones .

EDIT: Also make sure you stay easy on the collective, i havent tested how it acts when you put it outside standard operational parameters.
