Fred0311 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 So is anyone else here an avid flight simulator fan? I get by microsoft flight sim x which i find alot of fun but I wish it had more mission and not so much "free flight". I also tried xplane 9 but that wouldnt run right on my computer. Anybody know of any other good ones? I understand they're training value is minimal but I did get an understanding of vor and ils from it. And I can actually hover a robbie in it. Please share your thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danwes10 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I like it! The closest thing to "real" is the dodosim for FSX and FS9. It's an add-on that cost around 50-ish? The airframe is a Bell 206 in various schemes. Dodosim has LTE, VRS, what seem to be realistic flying characteristics, plus a ton of other "situations" you can encounter in real life. (Ive never flown a 206). Start out a difficulty level 1 then work up to 5. When I was doing instrument training I used FSX quite often, even though it was frequently inaccurate on approaches, etc. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helipilot PTK Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 You may want to check out "Take on Helicopters" it has just been released a few days ago, the previews look very interesting and the graphics are awesome. I myself have no experience with the game but it looks like a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred0311 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Unfortunately I lack the graphics card to run it. But it does look good. It vaguely reminds me of simcopter from years ago but a simulator instead of an arcade style game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred0311 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Thanks for the heads up on dodosim ill check that out. And I gave take on helicopters a try anyway and it worked! It's a pretty fun game but I can't run it at its highest quality like I do fsx. I want to get a collective and foot pedals but I can't find a collective for a decent price.
