My experience rl flying an R22, R44 and AS350 says that there is no such thing as a stable hover, at least not without aid from some sort of system, such as in the Back Shark. Holding a hover without any aid, such as in the Huey, requires constant effort by the pilot. The slightest breath of air will send you careening off unless you counter it. I haven't yet tried Dodosim, but I've flown Dreamfoil's R22 a lot of hours, and it is very similar to the real thing. One of my biggest gripes with sims so far, is their inability to accurately implement weather and its physical effects on flying. Try holding an R22 in a stable hover with gusty down-/crosswind...

Sweet mother, I'll pay ~any amount of cash for this module.

I received my 12.5 cm extension today - it is awesome. It really turns an already brilliant piece of engineering into something even better. I've always been skeptical about the Warthog, kinda thinking some people were just smug rich guys.. However, with this extension, the Warthog truly becomes as good as I've always imagined it musta been. EDIT: I forgot to add, the build quality is on par with the Warthog itself - in other words, Excellent! EDIT 2: Oh, and pics!

For combat, the Black Shark is best, no doubt. For the joy of flying and doing non-combat missions, definitely the Huey. If you like the Huey, you really should consider trying Dreamfoil's R22 Beta II for X-plane 10 on full realism. Is, imo, even better and more entertaining to fly than the Huey.

I've spent several hours flying the R22 by Dreamfoil now, and compared to the flight-hours in a real R22 I've had, I just have to say, again, that I'm amazed at how well they've adapted the aircraft into X-plane. Strongly recommended for anyone wanting to try the R22. But, you're probably right concerning the damage model. I haven't examined the DM in X-plane/Dreamfoil, or its lack thereof, but at least for flying and handling the aircraft, the R22 they've made is very authentic.

Thanks all for the feedback so far. A couple weeks back I flew a Robinson R22 Beta II, together with an instructor. I got to try flying the aircraft myself, briefly in hover (damned hard) and afterwards some flying around the airport. Several places on the web I've seen the Dreamfoil R22 recommended strongly for X-plane, so I downloaded the X-plane 10 demo and installed the Dreamfoil R22 - I just have to say I'm amazed at how accurately it portrays the real thing. And I'm not the only one. For anyone interested in trying the R22, I strongly recommend X-plane 10 and Dreamfoil's R22! I'd definitely say it has a comparable flight model and fidelity to that of the Huey in DCS.

Thank you very much for the feedback. I've asked around other places too, and many support X-plane as having the best FM. I looked at a of an R22 from Dreamfoil, which, at least from what I could tell by looking at the vid, looks quite realistic.

Hello fellers, TL;DR: Are there any other sims out there that has a comparably good flight model and fidelity to that of DCS World? I've flown DCS for many years, mainly Black Shark and Huey. I guess I'm a helicopter nerd. Lately, I've been browsing the web, trying to find other sims that have realism and fidelity comparable to that of DCS, in particular the flight model. I've played the Arma series and Take On Helicopters a Lot, but they're quite arcadey and don't really offer a whole lot in terms of realistic flying. Fun tho. So I've looked at - Flight Simulator X (with HTR) - X-plane 10 - Prepar3d - Combat Helo (I know this hasn't been released yet) Which leads me to the following question - has anyone here tried any of the above mentioned games? And could you offer opinions as to how good they are, in terms of realism, fidelity and flight model, when compared to DCS? Addendum: I tried searching this forum, and I've Googled quite a bit, but have as yet been able to find sufficiently good answers to actually purchase any of these games. EDIT: Derp, thread moved to different sub-section, which, when I searched, had several similar threads. Please excuse a moments dumb.

Guess I can understand, even tho I would Very much like the Cobra..

Speaking of updates, are there any news on the Cobra?

I have not experienced this.

Great success with the F-15C! Stuck on grass slightly off the tarmac 3/3 tries..

Did a sling load of a 500 kg crate, which I ferried over to a stationary Hazard Perry, from Batumi. Put it down gently, after fighting the pendulum for a bit. However, once down on the aft deck, the crate just went straight thru the deck and into the ocean.. Gonna give it a couple more goes, then on to a moving Hazard Perry. Gun be gud

Gracias fellahs! Was just looking in the newly updated manual, in which I found my answers

Been trying to figure out how to get the sling load to work, no luck. Anyone know how?
