Can anyone with AFPD and a real heli tell me if the sim is reasonably accurate? I am a fixed wing flyer, but decided to see what rotary is all about. After flying the Fury for a while, it seems far too easy. I thought perhaps that model is not well done, so I loaded the Eco 8-brushless (figuring Ikarus would certainly make sure their OWN products are well represented.) It also seems rather easy to fly. (Not to say I haven't gone through $10K worth of virtual spare parts learning to hover inverted, etc. but really...)

If you had to monkey with anything to get it accurate, or know of a more accurate model that I can download, I would appreciate it. I really want to see what it takes to fly those things.

clearview and reflex xtr are good heli sims, but im not sure about afpd, if its anything like the origional afp, then i dont think theyll be that great.

I am glad you liked ClearView. The next version will be commung with even better flight model including the most realistic autos. Period. Inverted autos, Blade stop during the auto - for the first time - full, complete and realistic autorotation simulation.
