Simon,

Welcome to SimViation.  It is always great to have someone join us here.  When I get home from work tonight, I look forward to exploring the links you provided!

So are you the pilot, the cameraman, or did you just go for the ride  ;)? Lovely piece of film  8-)


I am going to take a wild guess at answering Mic's question:

You are one of the pilots . . . ?  The reason I say this is because I noticed the bars on your epaulets (and it only took me three tries to remember the spelling for 'epaulets'!  :-[ ;D ).  If so, be prepared for many questions about flying, and how FS differs and measures up to the actual experience.  ;)  And, if you happened to be another member of the crew or a passenger, expect questions about what it is like to ride in a random collection of parts flying in loose formation . . . I mean, a helicopter.  ;D ::)

Anyway, great to have you here.  I look forward to reading more of your posts!

All the best,
~Darrin

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
