MSFS City Update 4: Western Europe B407 | Real Helicopter Pilot Plays Microsoft Flight Simulator CU4

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

The 407 has been my go-to aircraft for the last two weeks. I went from not being able to fly helicopters worth a darn in the sim, to being able to put it down gracefully on just about any spot. I fly for a living, but have only flown in helicopters a few times IRL and they have always been a lot of fun.

Thanks for the feedback! It's definitely underrated...I find the B407 to be a nice stable, yet nimble platform for scenery tours and joyrides!

@@Belatu42 once a person gets used to it, the B407 is not difficult to fly.

I love the 407, Heavily love the sounds, and the smoothness of it. I typically do a lot of Medical Flying and free flying with it is so fun, I learnt from other IRL 407 pilots, and applying it to this one is a charm. I wished there was more content for it, and more detail.

[@Belatu42]

I agree, the 407 is a great heli! Hopefully 2024 adds the content for missions to fulfil that actually make sense, and keeps refining the flight model to be more realistic.

@@Belatu42 I heard soon there’ll be a GXI. Keeping tuned on that

Great video ...thanks 😊 Just a thought ...the scale of the in sim cathedral seems overly large? ( ive been there a few times in real life and its big ..but)

[@Belatu42]

Thanks for the feedback! I will have to take your word for the scale as I have never been there IRL. It didn't seem off to me, but the LiDAR scanned models of the adjacent buildings with the stretched ortho images also throws off perspective.

In your opinion, which is the best overall heli in the sim today?

[@Belatu42]

It's too much for a simple answer. I'm working on a video going over my favorite helicopters in the sim based on several factors...It should be out in 2 weeks ;)
