Real cropdusters uses a spray computer and a lightbar to spray in lines called swaths. Helicopters can fly slower and therefore spray in more tighter areas than the aircraft counterparts. Thanks for this channel. Very interesting.

You're welcome and thx for the info 👌

Not sure about other countries but in the US those booms would be VERY illegal. Booms cannot be more than 75% of the rotor diameter to reduce drift from spray droplets becoming entrained in the rotor vortices. I found myself here trying to see how many folks actually use MD for spray because of this. MD500 has a very small main rotor diameter in comparison to similar helicopters @@thenerdyhelisimmer4608

Ive been bugging , I mean, encouraging Cowan and Helisimmer about the 500 in MFS2020...finally soon!

There is a little payware on the org store called AirSpray. With that you get response on the ground, where you already sprayed. Also there is a economy system behind where you get paid money to fuel up or pay for the chemicals. It’s a nice little addition. In the future, the fuel truck will also have an helipad, so where ever you’re flying, you get a fuel truck to land on it. Hau rein, deine Vides sind nach wie vor Top. Hoffe es werden immer mehr viewers. Ich empfehle es mal immer wieder in den Foren und Gruppen.
