It appears that start button and shortcut no longer start turning the engine. So v 1.2.5 ramp start training is no longer valid. 2. When entering sim from hot or in flight, there is an overriding turbone whining sound that was not there before. I've ridden in National Guard UH-1, as passenger. I recall the sound. The beat from v 1.2.5 sounded more correct. V1.2.6. whine is annoying. I also don't recall, from being a troop, 20 years back as ROTC cadet, in the back, that violent shaking and vibration as helo undergoes translational lift, and looses it when transitioning.to hover. Perhaps it was the skill of the real pilot. But in this sim. its really violent, and causes power loss (the rotor RPM alarm goes), and entry into vortex ring state. Transitioning from hover through translational lift is not a problem, except the shake. But transitioning from forward flight to hover is difficult without power loss and vortex ring entry. 3. Hover, itself is very difficult. Much much more difficult then KA-50. I would come to what seems like a stable hover, then few seconds later, the helo teeters forward or back quicker then I could ever correct.
