FWX Rotor Haptic Engine reads your rotor RPM via SimConnect and generates real rotor impulse feedback for ButtKicker and bass shaker setups. You actually feel the rotor blades spinning in your seat. Works with the EC135, auto-detects your audio device, and starts automatically with MSFS via exe.xml.

We also have a Sound Enhancement Pack that replaces all stock EC135 sounds with 33 custom engine and rotor WAV files, if anyone is interested.

Let me know if you have questions!

This really should be pinned to the top of this forum thread.

Looking for some guidance on most robust controls for a cockpit setup. I'm guessing everything is USB these days (but perhaps there's something else out there; i.e., brake-out boxes with proprietary connectors, etc). But something durable and robust, that it pretty close to the real thing.

Thanks

Anyway, I found this excellent tutorial online. Funny, but it's by the people at Terminal Reality's Fly!. It brought back memories. I got my first copy of the sim free at oskkosh as part of public release. Pretty cool then. I think it marked my first attempt at scenery design, and, if I'm not mistaken, there were tools to download road data for VFR flying.

So, here's the tutorial. Hope you find it helpful.

Just bought the Aerosoft Huey X and it's proving a humbling experience! On takeoff, I cannot keep it straight.  Even with full left petal, the nose tracks right while the aircraft moves left.  It takes a fair amount of forward cyclic and gaining some airspeed to get it to straighten out.  Same thing on landing.  As I get below 30ish knots, it wants to slowly rotate right.  Don't seem to have enough petal authority to keep it tracking straight.  Any suggestions?  I'm keeping the power around 1.5-2.0 on the torque gauge.  Thanks!

properly with FSX (SP2). I don't have Acceleration installed.

I have searched but can't find anything definitive to running specifically with FSX and SP2 on a Windows 7 system. I run CeraSim  212 and 222B without problem. The requirement states "FSX only" (Acceleration is not indicated as a pre-requiste) but not sure whether "FSX only" includes SP2.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I am a frequent flyer in fsx dx10 but I would like to fly helicopters now.

I was looking for a flying club and found hovercontrol.

But they dont react on my email.

they say they would sent a confirmation but after 5  days it is not still there.

So does someone know another club?

just curious to find out: which is the most realistic version available for FSX/P3D:

MH-53J (Virtavia), CH-53A (Virtavia), CH-53E (Nemeth Designs) or CH-53E (freeware surclaro.com)?

I have been watching a few videos, and it really looks great, but would like to "hear" from any experienced users :-)

I thought I would do sometihng new and try flying a helicopter.

What is the best helicopter add on for FSX  (as a simulation not just eye candy)?

Same question regarding X-Plane.

Now I ask this queston to you, because I didn't find anything :(

Thanks ^_^

Sorry for errors, but english isn't my language

If so, can I add helicopter AI at any FSX helipad? Can I make traffic files to fly from one helipad tp another and return or go to another helipad?

Can the ai heli traffic be monitored with the Traffic Explorer so I can watch the helis takeoff and follow them in flight. Thanks, Bob.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

I want know what helicopter model is more real to the real life, in terms of flight model and dynamics...

I have the Dodosim 206 FSX, also the DCS Huey and XP10 with Dreamfoil 206 and BK117.

What do you think? Also I'm interested in how real is HTR for FSX. The new Milviz 407 OS very very promising if they get a real flight model.

Two helicopters, exactly the same in weight, type rotor speed, etc. have entered an autorotation. One has no wind and one has a 20 knot headwind. Which one would reach the ground first?

New to FSX (and sims for that matter), is there a realistic EC145 add-on that has "working" overhead panel, gauges, switches, gps, autopilot and controls? I'd like to do everything from start-ups, takeoff, emergency procedures, instrument approaches, landing and shutdown. Is there such an animal out there?

I fly with a CH yoke and pedals.

I value the views and opinions of my fellow simmers on AVSIM and so I would really appreciate any suggestions, opinions, and recommendations.

Finally, since I use FSX and have installed Orbx's scenery packages and airports covering the PNW/BC/Alaska area, that is where I will use this aircraft the most.

Thanks very much for your input!

Today I got to fly my first RC chopper... I flew for like 5 minutes and managed to hover that little sucker and hold it still. It took me no more than 5 minutes to get the hang of it (thanks tio MS FSim.

I am thinking, this could become my new hobby... It's so much fun. Since this is indoor doable, chopper is idle.

This is what I got $20 + 6 batteries

I then found this thread where there are some videos of different models.. I was trying to learn more about this so went looking. 

IF any of you have not tried, please give a go... its so much fun...

Learning Tool:  Do the FSX (or similar, as available in your sim) tutorials.

Skill:  Learn to hover

Technique:  (OK, not really, more hardware) - disable / remove the centering spring from your yoke.  Get rudder pedals.
