Ron, That was very helpful as we will not waist any time working with JSBSim and jump right into reviewing YASim. Christian Menge FreedomWorks Inc. US: 609-858-2290 Canada: 905-228-0285 Fax: 347-296-3666 christ...@freedomworks.ca www.freedomworks.ca On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 9:55 PM, Ron

Hi Guys, Appreciate the comments. We come from the X-Plane and ESP world. Personally I have just over 1000 hrs flight time in many Bell products, Bell 206, 204 / 205, 212 and 412. Currently I'm running a simulation consulting company that is seriously thinking about investing some money into

Hello, Heiko Schulz schrieb am 31.03.2010 01:57: The UH1 was the one with the most realistic flightmodel. Unfortunately as helijah corrected the fuselage shape in YASim, he broke the whole balance settings. Tensors and CoG seems not right anymore, visible as the whole aircraft is turning on

Hi, Hello Christian, the helicopter flight model is very realistic, for my point of view it is the the most realistic flight model which is available for normal PC users. The setup of the configuration is a bit tricky, esp. for the auto-rotation, therefore it does not work realistic

Hi Developers, We are looking into the idea of creating an Helicopter (rotary) FAA AATD. Does anyone have any comments / thoughts about the quality of flight modeling for rotary wing aircraft in FlightGear? This is an important question as students must have the ability of practicing
