More realism is good, very good. But too much realism,

Hi, Robert:
Not that it does you a lot of good if using the Net FDM,
but that feature isavailable in JSBSim if contact points are defined in
the aircraft configuration file. My guess is that YASim does that, too. It's
sort of a flight model feature. If you are providing your own dynamics,

You need a _reasonable_ card and _reasonable_ amount of RAM. We're not
talking supercomputers here...
And, Justus said it before: a good stick and pedals...
And they aren't cheap.

You have a point there. Perhaps one could augment the Bo 105 with an

whether the real thing has such a thing or not, and sort of like the

In the real world I often get my work from
helicopters, so I can often see them real in a near
distance.

Just some info here on how to reproduce the fatal error when switching views.
1) Take off from some place where you don't have the terrain.
2) switch to next view by hitting the V key
I get this:
Attempting to schedule tiles for bogus lon and lat = (-1000,0)
This is a FATAL error. Exiting!

Depends on the definition of precise. It is more real, but it is not
easier to fly precise.
Not easier, but IMHO not harder

some friction would help as well. It must not be an expensive one. My

If your notebook has got 2 USB ports you might use an USB gameport
adaptor for the pedals

Absolutely. In fact, flying an aircraft with fixed wings doesn't make
significant difference in these terms - the fixed-wing aircraft is just
a bit
