TerryM Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Loving pic No 2 there Jack..... great atmosphere in that one, and the heat haze from the engine on the 429 just adds another level of depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Wayne, I spent a great deal of time learning. It's all in the collective and pedals as you approach the ground, have to keep working the collective to stay aloft while using the cyclic to enter a hover and then simply floating gently down.

Thanks Frank, been flying choppers for years in P3D, they're my favorite way of seeing things close up because of the ability to hover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveller Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi Jack, Firstly, I want to congratulate you on the beautiful set of shots. As for the Bell 429, it really is very good, mainly being freeware. Its aerodynamic flight is very modern, and greatly facilitates the operation of the aircraft. It can be said that it is the new flight model of the new helicopters in the market: totally automated in the control and management of the flight, getting the pilot as monitor and observer .... hahaha. The Bell 407 is still a bit "foot and hand". It requires a little skill with the controls, but nothing that can not be mastered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
