I really enjoy FCR, and I wanted to enjoy this one too. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work very well. It's very clunky to use, it's difficult to get the view right and when you do, it uses the sounds from the inside of the plane, not the external sounds. The camera cannot be controlled well when in a spot mode and I have had it completely freeze up my camera system, forcing me to restart the game.
For that past 44 years I have been actively involved with PC flight simulation. In Microsoft Flight Simulator history, and numerous other simulators as well, there have been a certain few aircraft that have been developed that define how realistically immersive flight simulation can be, both in physical modeling and flight dynamics. These are aircraft that redefine what is possible by setting a standard so high that once you experience them all other aircraft fall short by comparison. This aircraft developed by the team at Digital Aeronautics has managed to even exceed that standard. A standard of physical modeling fidelity so incredibly detailed you will assume you are looking at the real Mi-2. The VR experience is out of this world! The flight dynamics are in another league entirely. I am at a loss for words to effectively describe this creation that has emerged from the Digital Aeronautics laboratory. I can say with absolute confidence, to not purchase this piece of art, and thats what this is, a real piece of art, would be a shame and you would be missing out. Purchase this aircraft and before you ever fly it, just walk around it. Take your time and just look at the incredible detail. Take your time and enjoy all the attention to detail, that obviously has been painstakingly recreated. The flight model will astound you. The immersion created by this one of a kind aircraft will not disappoint. Thank you Digital Aeronautics team for ALL of your amazing work!
Beautifully 3D - modelled, plenty awesome eastern EU - liveries. A relaxing flight model, yet realistic and detailed startup/systems, high fidelity interior sounds allows you to feel home immediately if you ever flown a Russian helicopter.
This is by far the most ambitious scenery project I've ever seen for FSX and it makes the entire area look wonderful, but you do need to make some compromises in order to enjoy it because it uses so much VAS. My recommended maximum scenery settings: LOD Radius: 4.5 Autogen Density: Normal Mesh Resolution: 5 m Texture Resolution: 30 cm Water Quality: 2x Low Cloud Distance: 90 Miles AI Aircraft Traffic: Off Boat/Ship Traffic: 0% I also recommend using a light aircraft that doesn't use much VAS. This scenery is also helicopter friendly with lots of helipads to land on, but there's only a few helicopters that can fly at these altitudes, like the CeraSimAircraft Bell 412, Nemeth Designs AS350 or the Augusta Westland EH 101 V2 (enhanced freeware version).
This is an expensive package I know, but considering you get 15 highly detailed, major Caribbean airports, it's a good deal. It's a fantastic deal when you catch it on sale. It's well worth the money spent if you enjoy flying around the Caribbean. I would rather buy packages like this than spending 15 to 20 Euros a piece for single airports.
This is a very nice scenery very happy with it i have had no problems that other users have encountered with this airports defo 5 stars from me very happy :) ;)
