This isn't just any helicopter. The Bell 222B featured in the 80s TV show Airwolf about a high tech super-helicopter. Cowan Simulation have brought the 222B to Microsoft Flight Simulator but what's it like to fly?

Shame they couldn't be bothered to get the colour right, the top half wasn't gloss black it was "Phantom Gray Metallic" which was a Dupont colour. It's still better than nothing but a small amount of research would have nailed it and let's be honest, the paint job is a HUGE deal when the helo is The Lady.

Just to clear things up the Lair was the name that string and dom called the place they had hidden airwolf for 3 of the 4 seasons it ran. In the first episode of season 4 they found it using drop down photos and looking at pictures taken from the mountain in the location of the Lair showing down draft damage and that is how they found it. They kept using that location for the rest of that season then it ended or got pulled because of falling ratings.Trivia the helecopter (B222) used in the program was sold to a swiss air ambulance and not longer after that crashed and was destroyed.

Funniest thing about this helicopter was that all the body kits and props they added on the thing for the Show Airwolf it actually ended up flying better as it became more stable during flight. Its apperantly to light for its own good and the side sponsons end up causing turbulance lift making it hard to control depending on the wind direction.
@flightsoficarus
@flightsoficarus Жыл бұрын
Interesting. I imagine the sponsons would start to act like little wings when it got some speed up that could cause issues. However the sim version at least is pretty stable. At least up until the red line where it gets a little more interesting.

@@flightsoficarus I’m actually a virtual pilot too, but nowhere on your level. I started flying in GTA Online which is definitely not a sim but we had a lot of fun. I flew on Ghilliemaster’s crew and we defended players against briefer s and tryhards. I was mainly a heli pilot then and I loved circle straffing with machine guns and hitting people with unguided missiles. This was back in 2017 before the game got unbalanced with the introduction of the fantasy vehicles like the Mk 2. Then I discovered War Thunder which is still not a full sim but a much more complete experience. I flew German planes primarily but I spent time in all the lines. I stopped playing out of protest of the war in Ukraine (Gaijin is a Russian company) and I won’t go back until Ukraine wins the war and Putin is dead or tried for war crimes. But I do miss it. I got really into becoming a better pilot. There’s an online book called “In Pursuit” that taught me so much about flying. I still have the flying bug but I’m not sure I’m ready for something like DCS or MFS. The Bf 109 K and the Fw 190 Doras look really cool on DCS though. One of these days I will give it a shot.

@@catsooey If you do decide try DCS or MSFS, they are both great sims. DCS has some really nice flight models and if you want to get into helos the Huey is a great module. It's one the learnt to fly helicopters on and I don't don't mind admitting that I crashed ALOT, usually when trying to land. But like riding a bike, one day it just clicks. If you want to go the MSFS route, the Cabri G2 is quite easy to get started on. Even with the assists off it's fairly forgiving. I'm actually working on a helicopter intro tutorial using the G2 so if you're interested keep an eye for it.

As far as I know there aren't bindings for for these. The throttle isn't too much much of an issue as you only really need to touch it during start up and shut down, although this does break the immersion a little. I've not found a need to adjust the RPM on it either. The flight model isn't really sophisticated enough for it to make much difference. I've found I can abuse this thing pretty severely and the RPM doens't even seem to wobble. Howver, it would be nice to have bindings for these.

The Hype helos are nice modules. They've done some great work on the autopilot, making flying them pretty stress free. Helos without autopilot, or ones where the developer hasn't been able to implement it, can be a bit more of a handful but once you get used to the flight dynamics it becomes second nature. I've only encountered 2 helo modules in MSFS, which I consider unflyable or flyable but not worth the effort.

Query: Just curious: Isn't there the capability to make the start-up of a heli as easy, as say, a modern automobile? Why the heck do you need a gazillion buttons? Seems a bit excessive. Also: 🙀 9:35 "Gee Captain, You sure that's advisable?" Lmao!😹💋

That's a good question. I imagine the different systems that are involved in starting any aircraft tend to have their own dedicated buttons and switches so in the event of an emergency, they can be reinistalised individually, according to the appropriate recovery procedure for the problem, without having to turn the whole aircraft off and on. But other than that, flicking all those switches makes it look like you know what you're doing. As for intentionally shutting off the engine in flight, I'm fairly sure that'd cost you license in real life. Real life engine failures are simulated but ditching the collective and rolling the throttle to idle so you can recover if needed. But when it's a sim you can do what you want.

Have you tried the AH-64 in DCS? That's really cool. A little sensitive with the bank (I once sneezed when flying and did a barrel roll) but it's fun to fly. The monocle is really effective in VR, although I've heard it gives some people a headache.

I found the controls to be nicely balanced. Stable enough that it didn't wobbly around at the slightest touch but also response enough for precision flying.

It's a great looking 222B but it isn't Airwolf and that makes it a no from me, seeing as there is at least one proper Airwolf in the works. I don't need the guns and rockets (as they're useless), or even the correct cockpit but I do want the jet engines visible. Right now, it's just a reskinned 222B, which unfortunately isn't Airwolf. It's still a nice helicopter though, if you don't want Airwolf. 🙂

It's not the most realistic flight model admittedly but it's still fun to fly. I definitely think MSFS needs to do more work on helicopter support. There's no training like there is planes and gliders, no bush trips and only a couple discovery flights and the native flight model needs work. Hopefully this will come in time.
