We've revamped the B407 and MD500 flight models. We'd love your feedback, we've taken a lot of input from helicopter pilots in developing these. If you find the helicopter too twitchy, check out the "Cyclic Adjust" under Settings -> Flight Model
We've also fixed several bugs around exiting/entering scenarios, so these should be more usable now.
- Huge revamps to B407 and MD500 flight models!
- Adds "Cyclic Sensitivity" adjustment to Flight Realism settings. If you find helicopters too twitchy you can easily turn this down.
- Fixes bug where loading scenarios or switching airports sometimes places user aircraft in wrong location
- Adds GPU selection under Settings -> Graphics
- Adds a couple of new (under development) scenarios
- Adds missing propeller textures
- Misc scenario improvements
- Fixes compatibility with some Intel GPUs
- Improves Controls screen so that longer controller names are now readable
In parallel, we have some really exciting features under development.
1. New scenery tools. You can see some of them in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl7cVV-S9Xw.
2. A beautiful single-prop trainer aircraft, coming very soon!
