    Quick report - wow wow wow and double wow. Its a mix of Dodo sim and nemeth - the realair Duke of helicopters is the best comparison - fully functional VC with twin engine start ups.

    Sorry - got to get back to cockpit.

    Even got animation panel that allows doors to be part way open and closed.

    Im sorry to report just one really bugging thing - its scale is wrong. It is the same lenght as a 206

    EDIT - actually it might be the 206 that is too big - im trying to post some screenshots but cant.

    Yes - forget all that - its the default 206 that is not scaled properly - the 412 is big next to some of the nemeth helicopers.

    Holy crap!! Those screenshots on their site look amazing! How is it flight dynamics wise, and how is the sound? When I lived in Virginia one of the nearby medical centers had a 412, I swear I could hear it for what seemed like 5 minutes before it ever flew over our apartment when it was enroute to the hospital. I think I'm gonna have to get this one.

    lol at first I was like "Hey they Stole Jordan Moore's version"

    Then I looked at the VC....nice 3d bordered gauges and all, beautiful...

    How are the fps and yes, what about the FDE?

    Hi

    In RL i have only flown a 222 and an A109 to compare. Flying with full realism its a bit "twitchy" for a heli of its size but its manageable. It needs a bit more stability.

    Frame rates are excellent even on my steam driven PC. Yes - those guages are as good as RealAirs and some of Dans more recent work when he was with Alphasim

    I have 13 real hands-on hours in a 412 (which obviously doesn't make me an expert), and lots more just sitting inside, and that was 10 years ago, but it's pretty much as I remember. I wish the autopilot worked, and I don't really like the fake TCAS screen, but flight-wise it seems to be weighted much like the real aircraft.

    One thing I do remember is how extremely sensitive the controls were when a cruise speeds, and how absolutely gigantic the stick movements seemed to be when trying to hover or fly sideways or backwards at very low speeds. This doesn't quite do that, which I'm guessing is an FSX thing. However, I really like it, especially the attention to detail on the main panel.

    Would also like to have had the Ctrl-E option for starting, as I unfortunately don't have that much time to fly....

    Overall, however, great job!

    Your right Mike - that start up every time becomes boring not challenging. It would be good to have the choice. Also I would expect to fly on trim on a large heli - the work loads are so much less that in something small/cheap!!

    But then it is Flight Sim so cant expect everything.

    Hi Jeansy - the forum is stopping me from uploading screenshots so I cant help at the moment.

    The VC works so well. I have been flying ILS approaches with all sorts of failures set up and the guagues work as expected and so smooth and clear. Nice to fly a product that has obviously been tested properly!!

    Cannot upload any images, but if you go to my Webshots Album, I have a number of screenies of the Cera Bell 412. I was a bit hesitant getting it, but did and I am Amazed......

    Make sure you click the magnifier glass to see the full 1920x1200 size.

    Im also impressed with the way you can select to remove the cabin seats to make it a cargo version.

    Has anyone been able to get the a dome light in the VC to work yet? I can only get the instrument lights so its OK to fly but you have to grope around to find switches!!

    Good shots Old Crow

    I hope you get it Jeansy as your repaint skills will be so apprechiated on this one.

    Ctrl+E did not work for me, but I found that sitting on the tarmac and hitting Y "Slew", then elevating the 412 to a thousand feet or so using the Q, then hit Y again and I am flying with all systems operating properly. This works with a lot of aircraft, but not all.
    Hope it works for you.

    lawdawg, Try logging off SimMarket.....clear your browsing history and cookies, then log back in to your account and see if you can download from the link under "My Orders". I just tried it and it worked for me.

    Good Luck.
