X-Plane - Helicopter v9.05
You get some very interesting birds to fly, including:
The Robinson R-22: The lightweight, efficient trainer.
The Bell-206: The turbine-powered mainstay of the helicopter fleet.
The BlackHawk: The massive military cargo and troop mover.
The Sea King: The huge land/sea rescue helicopter.
These fascinating and varied machines are modeled very realistically, so the flight you get on the iPhone is actually almost as realistic as the full FAA-Certified flight-model used in X-Plane for desktop... You get almost all the flight-model realism of this certified sim: On your phone.
As well, the flight-area is the Grand Canyon, giving you amazing views as you fly your helos across (and into!) the various canyons and valleys, giving the most visually-stunning simulation we have yet released, with the most challenging and realistic flight-models we have produced for iPhone so far.
Now, a quick lesson: The COLLECTIVE control is on the LEFT of the iPhone screen... drag it DOWN GENTLY to INCREASE the pitch of the main rotor, thus causing the helo to lift. As you drag this collective down, you will notice that the throttle AUTOMATICALLY increases on the right side of the screen. This is because the throttle governor automatically increases the engine power to maintain the desired rotor RPM as you increase the load on the rotor by increasing the rotor pitch. This is how the real helicopters work, and how we simulate them on the iPhone.
If you are ready for the best scenery and most fascinating and challenging flight model available on the iPhone, then you are ready for X-Plane-Helicopter.
New in this version
All-new yaw-control system!
This should make these birds a little easier to handle in yaw.
As well, we now have an OPTIONAL manual control tail-rotor control!
Check out the slider on the bottom of the screen... just don't touch it if you want the tail-rotor to be controlled automatically,
but, if you want to have manual tail-rotor control to yaw the craft, hold your finger down on the tail-rotor slider for a few moments
and you will assume manual tail-rotor control! Now you can hover in place, doing 360's.. IF YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH.
In addition to the new yaw-control system, we also now have a full EFIS panel on the BlackHawk.
Minor tweaks to flight models to give a little more tail-rotor effectiveness.
