SHORT DESCRIPTION
Your virtual crew chief is now in the cockpit. Real human voice callouts guide you to your sling load or to a precise landing point, with no external view and no guesswork.
FULL DESCRIPTION
STOP GUESSING. START HOOKING.
You hover. You squint at the tiny dot far below. You lean left, you lean right. You switch to external view for the tenth time.
Real helicopter crews don't work like that. A crew chief leans out of the door and talks you down: "Load twelve o'clock, 80 meters… forward 10, right 5… easy… load directly below… down 5… hold position… hooked up!"
Virtual Crew brings that crew chief into your simulator.
TWO MISSION MODES, ONE TOOL
Sling / Hoist. Drop a pin on the satellite map where the load is. Virtual Crew tracks your hook, not your cabin, and guides you from the first nautical mile to "Hooked up", then to "Load clear."
Precision Landing. Helipad, rooftop, confined area, mountain landing zone, patient pickup. Set the point and the landing heading, then fly. You hear the approach, the corrections, the heading calls and finally "Touchdown… right on the mark!"
A REAL HUMAN VOICE
No robotic text-to-speech. Every callout is recorded by a real person and processed with a cockpit-intercom sound, so it sounds like a crewmate beside you, not a GPS.
CALLOUTS THAT HELP, NOT SPAM
Silent until 5 NM from the target
One clear call per nautical mile on the way in (5, 4, 3)
Continuous guidance in the last 2 NM
Smart anti-spam logic: no flood of messages for a tiny deviation
"Easy" when you close in too fast
"Stop! Up up up" when your hook is dropping onto the load and you are not above it
KEEP YOUR EYES OUTSIDE THE COCKPIT, NOT ON A SCREEN
Clock-position and distance calls: "Load two o'clock, 80 meters"
Forward, back, left and right corrections in meters or feet
Vertical guidance down to "Hold position"
A live radar view (top-down, nose up) with a vertical gauge
A satellite map to place your load or landing point anywhere in the world
