I'm not yet a real helicopter pilot, but i managed to optain a scolarship to be trained to ATPL (H) Level, teoretical and practical. Wright now i'm o teoretical part until 1'st of May when the fling part begins. I also advanced a project to my aviation academy to permit & finance us (the helicopter clas) to build a heli sim based on FG (mybe will be aproved by JAA), i'm waiting an answer from them (but the big problem is absence of autorotation in FG :(..... ). >From may, i can compare FG with realthing and help you with improving FDM for heli... also, if the academy will accept my project i will have a group of flight instructors with a vast experience in many helicopter types, as betta testers and critics for our simultaor. In any case, you can count on my help soon. ps i will fly EC 120 & 155. this is my academy: http://www.aviationacademy.ro/english/index.htm IS _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
