Thanks for the video Crafty, I love the R22 as well and I keep coming back to it because it is a great representation of the true experience. What it lacks in raw power and speed it makes up for in the sheer enjoyment and I keep coming back for more ... any spare moment, any 'free styling' time, and when checking out some new scenery I scroll through my hangar and invariably end up selecting the R22. I also find that after a hour or so in the R22 and I hop in one of the other Cowansim choppers (H125 / M500E) they seem a bit more forgiving and easy to keep steady / hover. This is probably because I have my eye in flying the R22, where my immediate muscle memory is around small movements.

@@Rikus1978 version 2.0.4 is a very very good version of the 310R. The aircraft already was a good aircraft with lots of detail and a great sound pack. Id say its as good as the Cessna 414 but the Piston Duke would probably be a better aircraft. But all three are amazing aircraft in my eyes.

Nice review, really enjoyed your off-script style. Sub'd and liked. I downloaded this a day ago. Not a bad add-on to the sim. Sounds are not bad, (engine sounds could be improved) I'm not fond of how when in external view the pilot and copilot appeared grayed out when viewed from in front, but those are my only gripes which is awesome due to the fact that *IT IS FREE!*

In the real aircraft wiew is not that bad as all simmer say. Expecially when you fly a circuit in a busy airport the side upperside wiew is very good. Much better then a Cirrus SR22 not to mention a Piper that is really claustrophobic (glider pilot here! 😉). A plus for me are also nice real life livery and the good price.

Thanks for sharing, and thank you for the support! We do aim for true authenticity - while not perfect, we really enjoyed bringing the Rolls-Royce "Merlin" to the AH Hurricane and their future Spitfire variants. The interior sounds will get a small "buff" and slightly change the hum/roar so you can "feel" the engine even more than before. Do check out the first update once it drops. :) Also; we did do sounds on the CH-47 by Miltech, F-86 Sabre by Shrike, and many more!

I flew this plane yesterday for the first time in months. It's a great plane indeed. I don't have the 750 so I use the 530. My route was VOR hopping from Walla Walla to Great Falls. After the Missoula VOR I loaded the ILS 03 approach into Great Falls thinking I could use GPS to navigate to the IAF, but for some reason the HSI would not work. I couldn't get rid of the horizontal flag and the CDI would not track the course. I tried switching back and forth from VLOC to GPS several times and I tried loading and activating the approach several times, but the HSI's CDI would not come alive. Any idea what could cause this? It seems to be a bug when switching from radio navigation to GPS navigation, but I don't recall ever experiencing it before. Maybe something brought on by the recent updates to the C414 or maybe the Working Title updates?
