If you really are into the helicopter flying and you love it, this is the way to go. I have tried helos downloaded from Nemeth, Hovercontrol and many others, they ain't bad and I like to fly them, but I was always waiting for something going beyond the fence and more realistic until a few days ago when I tried by first time the Bell 412 and 212 from CERA. In real life I'm a Aircraft Mech. and I've been working with UH's and Bell 212 for more than a decade and I have the chance to fly them from the left seat, and I gotta tell you, these CERA versions are the real deal! To beging with, the cockpit is fully functional and clickable, according with the checklist all the systems readings and indications are accurate, (idle speed, N2 beep range, ITT, voltage, you name it), when you make changes in collective pitch is really reflected on the gauges, even with high performance and high altitude take off you may experience a drop in NR easly. Also, the flight dynamics are quite accurate. The control responses are right there when you need it, you don't have to struggle just to hover it, but ain't all the way easy either, so with a few hours you would have it where you want it. The animations and the paint job is another feature very unique and complex from CERA, good details from every point you see the Helo- from the GPU and engine and xmsn cowlings and fairings displays,to the engine intakes and pitot covers even the filler cap on the 90° gear box- In other words the Bell 212 and 412 worth the buck. Good Job CERA.
