FlyInside B206 - Could this be the most realistic helicopter flight model in MSFS? 

Great honest, accurate, clean review. I'm impressed with your knowledge and flying skills, better than me and I built the model lol any questions from any of your viewers or yourself then please ask here. Tony

Like balancing a marble on a plate. Best description of flying a heli.

I am a private helicopter pilot, comercial aircraft pilot and designer of fixed-wing and rotary airmodel aircraft. I can tame this wild horse in realistic mode without any adjustments but I can say, although I have never flown a real B206, that the flight dynamics are completely wrong. The oscillations in the ground effect as well as the constant corrections, often with great amplitude and speed, in the collective make taxiing at low height and for a medium distance a true coordination exercise that is tiring, especially at night. Getting the model exactly where you want it is difficult. But it serves for training and to sharpen your senses, but it is far from being a realistic simulation.

This rotor craft looks good but I'm still more a fan of the Cowansim 206 and gonna stick with it for now

I love the JetRanger!

This heli and the other FlyInside Bell have the most tendancy to pendulum while hovering than anything else I've tried (including the Cowan 206). Most of the asobo ones I feel like it's mostly just counter with opposite stick and the neutralizing that correction isn't as important but this one you can get wildly out of control very quickly if you don't get it right. I'd be interested to know which is more realistic. The FlyInside definitely feels more difficult to me.

You earned another subscription. I've owned it for a while & like it too. Great video & great flying. I assume you had crash damage disabled (at least for auto-rotating?) Do you use any "Assists" ...like tail rotor assist? Does Cowansim make the Huey for DCS?

Wonderful video! I especially like your comparison of the realism levels. Personally I like "realistic", but with helicopter stability increased to 10%. Otherwise the pendulum effect is a bit too pronounced for me. What really sets the FI 206 apart from all the other MSFS helicopters are the turbine limits, which you showed as well. So thank you very much for the comprehensive review!

Fantástico.

This is much better realistic than older version of FS .

Taking into consideration, that you have 1000hrs+ in various sims, i am truly suprised about the enthusiasm, with which you portray this model. I have bought it when it came out, and my only concern about it is how to get my money back. This flight model might be surprisingly good for a huey. This thing simulates a teetering hub from a Huey with a stabilizer bar, but not a Jetranger. Pinning the word realism to that 25 times in the ads won't buff it out. It may sound like a good feature to have adjustable "realism settings", but as a matter of fact, to me it only depicts, that the "experienced owner and pilot of a real Jetranger" just couldn't translate that to code, to have the one true flight model, that resembles a proper Jetranger in the sim (with all it's drawbacks, which is a totally different story- it is not a real helicopter). I am an experienced owner and driver of an Audi A6 but could i program that in a sim? You bet not, it's a marketing line not saying anything about the actual realism of a product. The model, compared to all JetRanger models from Dodosim FSX, the 407 and 206 in Xplane, Cowans 206 and 206L in MSFS2020...just about ALL other Jetrangers in existence, really stands out for it's completely unrealistic behaviour. What is it with the "totally realistic settings", that need additional adjustment to get it right somehow, and still has a chance to render it completely useless? I'll tell ya: To blame the customer to not have the settings right, because the programmer couldn't do it. Did you ever fly a Jetranger? Have you ever seen a Jetranger anywhere behaving like this? Even the ones stolen by nonpilots did not do this. That is, because it just is not realistic, no matter how often the word comes up in a marketing sheet. The manner, in which Flyinside reacts to all valid criticism about their products, is close to insulting, and at various points WAS and IS insulting. Sooner or later in every single discussion about this, the one guy from Flyinside will not introduce himself as what he is, and will start to blame every user complaining about the s***** flightmodel. I have about 2500 hours in flightsims, plus a few real hours in helicopters, and real flight simulators used for real training, and have never ever not been able to control it in the real fashion. Except for this abomination. You could call it the ultimate challenge, rendering 25 years+ in helicopter simulation useless, because this and only this is realistic, no matter how not realistic it feels and looks. Easy argument, not many úser have a real jetranger to prove otherwise. This is a very blunt buyer beware message to all those considering buying this for their MSFS2020 experience. When the programmer blames your 2500€ Control Setup, that never has any problems in any sim with no helicopter at all, it should be a red flag. Mr. M will not take i mildly and he will start calling you names. This has not happened once or twice - literally the worst spokesperson for a company ever. Take all other options into consideration before dropping a single dime into this. Sorry about the rant, but having been fooled into buying this, and watching this probably making other users wasting money remaining silent is not an option.

I have a few hundred hours in 206's albeit decades ago. Really enjoying this flight model, it's not bad at all. A few instrumentation problems but nothing to ruin the experience. An ADF and DME would be nice for a bit of cross country IFR. The question I have is how does this compare to other flight models in MSFS? I suspect this one sits out on it's own.

It’s a beautiful model and their bell 47 is just as nice. The only thing I would add is that the correct VRS can vary depending on altitude and surroundings. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ok7HOJX75h4.html

hi

Still one of the most helicoptery things in MSFS

I don't own this helo so i cant give an opinion about it but every helo i have fly's like crap except the #Hype performance group h145 and h160 i think they don't get the recognition they deserve

textures dont look real

I’m so tired of seeing generic ass helicopters being put in to the sim. We have enough jet rangers. Give me something else!

Can you recommend joysticks and collective plus pedals for this that wont break the bank?????
