That’s needed because a helicopter is flown by changing the pitch of the rotor blades. The governor is used to manage the fine-tuning of the throttle for the pilot. They went so far as to model the engine governor. They went beyond the physics with the level of interactivity too.
In addition to the loss of depth perception, it also becomes much harder to hit tiny switches with the mouse, as you will see. In order to capture the video for this post, I had to fly on the flat monitor and found it to be just as bad as I remembered it.

That works a lot better for me, although I will probably go back to the Pro physics once I get more experience with the nimble little chopper, but only in VR.

I don’t regret it, and I freely admit that despite over five hours of practicing with it I’m still all over the sky, but I have gone back to the Not a Professional level. Suffering a spate of rampant ego, I opted for the Professional physics. They went the extra distance to make a high-fidelity physics model, and were generous enough it make the use of it optional.
And it wasn’t just a nod and a wink kind of development, either. It was only a week or so later that I discovered a new toy in my Aerosoft FS2 hangar! Those good people had gifted me, along with anyone else that owns their flight sim, with a spanking new Robinson R22 Beta II at no charge whatsoever! That’s a pretty good deal when you consider how much behind the scenes work went into developing all of the new flight physics for it. I can’t just come out and ask, what with knowing how much it costs just to fly the thing for an hour. I do my own maintenance, so I also don’t have a whole lot of costs associated with that either. I give rides all the time myself, but my hourly fuel burn is about $14. Seeing that little helicopter got my mind working overtime trying to figure out a way to cadge a ride in it. That is not to say that there aren’t a whole lot of folks that want to, though.

At $200+ per hour, plus the instructor, it’s no surprise that very few people buy helicopters.
It follows, then, that machines of that sort are also ghastly when it comes to an hourly rental rate. They’re expensive, even relative to airplanes, and they make up for that by being embarrassingly costly to maintain. Most times times I never notice new people at all, but this guy was notably different: instead of an airplane in his hangar, there is a spiffy little Robinson R22 Beta II which, for the uninitiated, is one of the two piston-engined helicopters most commonly owned by private pilots. The product features ten liveries from the USA, UK, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Austria and the Czech Republic.I noticed a new tenant out at the airport a few weeks ago. The aircraft are flown all around the world and this add-on reflects that global popularity. The Turbo Arrow IV followed in 1979 and featured the distinctive T-tail which was common amongst other Piper aircraft. The PA-28R Turbo Arrow III and Arrow IV are four seater, turbocharged piston-engine aircraft equipped with a retractable tricycle landing gear and constant-speed propeller – ideal for touring and instrument training.įirst available in 1977, the Turbo Arrow III was the first turbocharged variant of the PA-28R Arrow, retaining the conventional tail of the Arrow III and a new cowling which housed the six-cylinder turbocharged engine.
