Nemeth Designs Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion for MS Flight Simulator X
The CH-53E Super Stallion is used by US Marine Corps for amphibious assault, carrying heavy equipment and armament, and recovering disabled aircraft; also used by US Navy for vertical onboard delivery and recovery of damaged aircraft from aircraft carriers. The development of the CH-53E is based on the CH-53D. Improvements include the addition of a third engine to give the aircraft the ability to lift the majority of the Fleet Marine Force's equipment, improved main rotor blades and composite tail rotor blades. A dual digital automatic flight control system and engine anti-ice system give the aircraft an all-weather capability. The helicopter seats 37 passengers in its normal configuration and has provisions to carry 55 passengers with centerline seats installed.
Features:
- Accurate and detailed interior and exterior visual models and textures.
- Custom exterior and interior animations such as foldable rotor and pylon, ramp door, EAPS, extendable refuel probe, gauges and switches.
- Fully clickable dynamic virtual cockpit. Perfectly flyable from the VC.
- Many implemented systems such as EAPS, de-ice system, firefighting system, automatic flight control system
- Realistic flight dynamics
- Two variants with different paint schemes
- PDF manual and Paint kit

Anyway, I really do believe that the Nemeth Designs have created something outstanding, and feel its very much worth the money. For me -- Its a Keeper!!!
Such as shame as Nemeth usually stands for good quality.

As we speak the graphics problem has been fixed with a simple patch.
After spending some time with the CH-53 I can now say its ONE OF THE BEST helicopters in my stable.
Surprisingly good on fps and handles just like you would imagine it.
Also the virtual cockpit is really incredible.
Us helis guys are really passionate about our birds and when one we have been waiting on comes out, we get bent out of shape when there are problems.
There is one guy in particular on Hovercontrol who has taken this heli under his arm and is seeing to it that problems get adressed and deatures added. Seeing the quick response to the graphics issue, I feel confident that other bugs will be look at and fixed.
So 1 more star and I highly recommend if you are into complex helis to get this one.
Thats said, I am also tired of being a paying beta tester.
This heli is great to look at,very nice panels and a top notch virtual cockpit.
Starting is easy once you figure out how to do it.
Now the BAD.
I have already had a few graphic problems.
Once fooling with the gps, the screen garbled.
Turning on the lights causes all kinds of wierdness.Blacked out screen,garbled graphics,exterior model is jumbled.
I have not even experimented with the systems but I figure if you cannot even turn on lights with all he** breaking loose, there are bound to be problems.
Once again, what coulda shoulda mighta been.
Unless you enjoy frustration and like a good headache, I suggest holding off on this one until Nemeth steps up and fixes it.
Ive now had even more time to fly this. Typically with any Nemeth product it is not designed to just get in and go. You do have to go through the start proceedure. Now that would be easy if Nemith had bothered to put some preset VC cockpit views in like other producers do but they have not.
They also lack a good number of external presets.
The VC looks great but dont be fooled that every switch will do something.
I have also had some amazing bugs when using the lighting controls which I hope get fixed.

I am also very disappointed in the lack of product support shown by Nemith. I have tried to get answers on their forum (I have MI-2, M-17 and S-76) with no luck and I have noticed other customers are struggling. Again I hate to compare to Alphasim but they really support thier customers.
I urge SimMarket to take this support issue up with Nemith as it is very poor compared to other producers.
Try harder Nemith - you are letting yourselves down whilst excelling with your excellent modelling.
