has anyone completed this helicopter FSX mission?

I found the capsized yacht, the survivor says his friend was "drifting due west on some debris"

i searched a very tight ladder search pattern west of the yacht. i left the yacht west bound one minute, south bound one minute, north bound two minutes, west bound one minute, south 2 minutes, west 1 minute and so on - 25 miles out to sea!!! without ANY luck of spotting the drifting survivor and no further input from the mission.

Was the guy drifting out to sea at 140 knots?? i have had no luck on 4 seperate attempts at finding this guy.

any help out there with this?

Hi, I remember doing this mission. you will find the surviver approx 1 mile or less away from the yacht in a seaward direction away from land

Yes sir...  Just finished that one last night..  he was exactly west and about 1 mile away.   I stayed approx 250 ft and 80knts.   Good luck!

ok thanks, i will try it again... my first attempt was a direct 270 degree heading but i was at 300 feet and about 120 kts... ill stay low and slow and concentrate within a mile or so of the boat.
