I've been flyin' helicopters a lot lately.....here's some shots

Thanks 4 looking

"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"

These are really Shocked

Would have been amazing if helo's in FSX had the same flight dynamics as helo's in BF3.

Even have a friend who fly's helo's for the local port and he confirmed BF3 helo's feel more like the real thing then FSX helo's.

Something like, in FSX you feel like a training pilots at the controll even after 100's of hours flying FSX helo's.

BF3 dynamics puts you into what it feels like to be a seasoned pilot everytime you start flying.

Feels just like a helo would handle, FSX feels so "out of control".

Awesome... that first one's a killa...

I agree with Mr F. Mouse - helicopters in FSX are a pain in the...neck. I can't believe they are THAT tricky in real life.

The default helicopters, in my opinion, are very unstable. A lot freeware and payware add on helis are much more stable Cool
