Thie is in the fdm (adv. in the bo105.xml file) (with the real angles
for the bo)

Sorry, I didnt find "crab" in my dictionary. But what is not simulated
is the effect of the downwash onto the stabs, which have great effect on
the flying behaviour. 

And the vertical stab is not of the original size and the horizontal
stab is missing as well as the fuselage.

For the other helicopters than the bo105 every parameter is "wrong", I
just changed some rotor parameters.

For the landings on buildings (as well for every flying in the
outer-view (?)), a shadow of the aicraft would be helpful.

All the Best,
