Ryan Mason Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well I set off from Launceston the other day, having toyed with a round Australia flight in a helicopter for a few months and once I got flying I thought "well why not now" so here I go, started in Tassie and have no specific way I am going, just pretty much wherever I get invited to go, but I will post my screenies as I go, as you can imagine it will be somewhat slower at 80-120 knots than most flights but it will be an experience as I am taking the dodosim 206 along for the ride, so authentic all the way. Here is some pics of my first few legs. Leaving Launceston, on the way to Gerogetown On approach to Georgetown Well I only got to Georgetown before the helo had some issues, a visiting news crew were nice enough to ferry me along to Burnie Stopping at Devonport for fuel Comming into Claude Rd On the ground in Burnie The maintenance crew were nice enough to drop the helo back to me at Burnie Overflying Smithton On approach flaring to land at Woolnorth Woolnorth wind farm, really is spectacular in the sim, pics just dont do it justice There's Balfour comming up. The flare is way harder to judge in a low skid when you usually fly a high skid! On approach into Ford creek. On approach to Strahan last stop for this leg, Strahan, less pics next time, I promise! hope you enjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heiko Glatthorn Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yeah, great idea and excellent pics ! As a two time around the world and once from Seattle down to Cape Horn and back up to New York multiplayer i have to warn you... . You'll ask yourself what the heck you are doing there, while you are hooked and unable to stop. Take some Aspirin on the last leg because high blood pressure Good luck on your journey .

Skulleader Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hello aussiecop, I really like the skin "Qantas" of the "Bell 206 Dodosim"; please can you tell me if it's possible to download your skin ? PS: I'm sorry for my poor English. Best regards, Olivier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Here Olivier. http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=616 Note: its for the dodosim (whirly)bird only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailgunner Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Great shots - but may I ask why the Dodosim? Seems to be virtually no difference from the default Bell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Mason Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Great shots - but may I ask why the Dodosim? Seems to be virtually no difference from the default Bell? Oh contrare my good friend, they couldn't be more different mate, the dodosim is as real as it gets, its the PMDG of helicopters. All authentic performance and failtures as well as startup and shutdown procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skulleader Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Dear hcornea, I would like to thank you for your help and your link. Effectively The "Bell 206 FSX DODOSIM" is a very realistic addon and really more hardcore than Bell 206 of FSX. For all the persons who wish to pilot one helicopters really realistic and hardcore I propose you DodoSim FSX. PS: I live in France and I don't know the Australia and I did not know that it could snow on mountains around Launceston, due to FSX every day I learn new information. Thank you to Aussiecop because with the screenshots I was able to learn that it snows in this region. Best regards, Olivier. PS: Sorry for my poor English....
