Having flown the JetRanger in real life, the details in this model are amazing.

It certainly looks the part!  How does it fly Phrog??  I've yet to find a sim that IMHO replicated the flight control actions of a chopper.  I'd love to find one that was as accurate as most fixed wing modeling is.

I only fly in FSX, but this model really has great visual detail. In FSX I'm still getting a feel for the many helos. Biggest problem is flying flying from any cockpit view. Without a good 45 deg wide view, nearly impossible to perceive drift. Getting better with practice. Slowly writing a review of handling characteristics for several FSX helos to upload as a tutorial/new helo flyer article. Just need to figure best video capture (easy is what I need).

I know exactly what you mean.  That's why I use three screens with a slightly to the left view but not overlapping, a straight on view, and a not overlapping slightly to the right right view to give an almost 3D effect when flying FSX.  And that is exactly why I don't like the new sim.  It won't give me that multiple screen views option.
