All are fantastic shots, amazing scenery......very cool helo too, I've been wondering about this one. Can you carry things with it? Are there two seperate stations for operating the winch and flying the heli?

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thanks for your comment! There are three models: the one with firefighting capabilities, then two military versions which are one "empty" with extra fuel (the one shown here) and the one with the "cargo pack" attached. So I guess the cargo pack counts as something you can carry... But you can't pull anything up or down with those hooks and winches... That sure would have been even more fun. The VC, and sounds are perfect, and the flight model seems accurate for that big of a chopper.As far as stations, yes you have a pilot, copilot, and "load master" (for lack of a better term). The last shot is from the load master position. You can fly the aircraft from there, although it's pretty tricky since you're looking backward Grin

So to summarize, lots of fun! Wink

Ahahah thanks! Yeah I had to whip my computer into shape Grin

jk, those are my usual settings. This scenery isn't bad, not even close to San Francisco (see my earlier San Fran post in the Payware section a couple of days ago). San Fran really was a frame rate killer...

Great shots Pierre.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
