Thanks Sergio!
I followed your advice and tried DCS with Gazelle but got intimidated with the amount of commands around weapons. I’ll probably go back to it, but for now I am flying the Cabri G2 with Xplane, using X CPL pilot for missions. It is actually great to have goals while training & building up piloting skills. The quality of the visual environment makes me eager for helis in fs2020, but the flying sensations felt really great!
I wanted a quality exotic/sunny place to fly around. I was wondering about the Seychelles addon but the price tag made me choose Orbx’s Balearic Islands instead. Great location, I would only have hoped for more Helipads & airports: is there another exciting part of the world that you would recommend to fly, with plenty of opportunities and challenges for helis?
Also I saw there was virtual instructors around (like FSFlyingSchool) for planes, I was wondering if there was any equivalent around for Helis? It would be awesome to get feedbacks / advice as you fly!
@jreeves54: thanks for the suggestion - I may look into fsx at some point but it really feels the visuals are outdated, which for me is a key part of the immersion experience, i’m not sure it would work for me.
