I can't recall exactly how he did it but it comes down to this: The pilot will have to perform a very tricky manoeuvre which would really turn you stomach upside down. Firstly when the engine cuts out he lowered the collective pitch so that the blades picked up RPM fast, at the same time the heli will start losing height fast. At the very last moment the pilot jams the pitch up and the heli starts to quickly recover from the fall, and then the pilot lands the heli.

There's more ways to do it I believe, but a pilot could answer that better.

didnt know this was possible. very nice.

still pick a plane and a helli, and deprive both of them of their props and engines and drop them at 2k metrs one of them will have a better time than the other. My point is planes fly, helis try to stay uo in the air. Never liked helos for that.

How about you also deprive the plane of it's wings as the rotors ARE the helicopters wings.

There is no way that planes or helicopters spawn at that altitude and just fall down. And if a helicopter reaches that altitude and it's hydraulics system or engine fails it will be able to get to the ground if the pilot is trained.

The point is that both vehicles work differently and have different strenghts and weaknesses. That also goes for rockets and other stuff as well.
Just because helicopters work differently it doesn't mean they are worse than a plane.

if we enter the area of opinion, yes its possible. and in my opinion helos are worse, and just not my thingy.

The only reason helicopters fly is that they are so unnatural that even the earth rejects them!

Bohemia really seems to believe in their product. Two patches for the beta.....

I've got the full version installed since thursday.

first impression; it works (sorry it's just that I can't really say the same about Clod)

graphically speaking its a modified Arma2 engine, and it isn't that hard to tell that it is. However, when it comes down to flight modelling this is a surprisingly challenging sim. And that's just after barely touching the training missions......

here's a few pit pics

Fantastic adaptation for BIS. great game ! if that SDK doesnt hurry up for il2. im jumping ship.

I have fallen asleep in the suicide seats in the hue. At first you couldn’t take me away from this venture … after it was sleepy time. I’d be asleep in seconds after takeoff … sooth sound all around.
Heli drilling.. bit ago.

I still deal with long lines

I'm just braggin like my picture of me in a helicopter ... Can't explain but need more duel controls weeeee

I like what I've seen so far.
