Helicopter basic instrumentation: artifical horizon

[Mack. 59]

Hello,

Firstly I want say im a massive fan of the Helicopters DLC especially the new flight model and in particular the new instruments, they are extremely precise, work correctly and make flying the choppers a real pleasure.

This DLC really has given helicopter pilots something special however I feel there are a few rough edges with the basic instrumentation, especially with the Artifical horizons. The artifical horizon is the most important instrument. If you know precisely the attitude of your helicopter, you know which way its going to start moving. Its especailly usefull during the hover or when determining the horizon outside is difficult ie during fog or surrounded by sloping terrain.

When not using the Rotorlib flight model they are all the player has.

Most of the artifical horizons in the game work correctly however a few seam to have been broken or slightly misunderstood. As most of them are correct I believe these few points can be fixed to give the helicopters a real quality feel.

*WY55

The green edition is missing the artifical horizon...

... the normal edition has some graphical corruption.

*AH99 + UH-80

The Airplane symbol (the W) moves and the horizon stays fixed. In most western aircraft the airplane symbol stays fixed and the horizon moves.

*MI-290

The artificial horizon has what appears to be a non functional "stuck on" flight director. Removing this will make the instrument a far clearer.

I hope these points can be fixed and make the helicopters feel like a high quality product.

Thanks again for the DLC!
