The Virtual Darkside: they are good too
« on: July 26, 2009, 03:16:45 PM »
Here is a vid of one my mate practising for CVARS race:

CVARS, aka Czech Virtual Air Rescue Service, is a well-organised bunch of guys, who would fly all kinds of air rescue, humanitarian, or speciall occasion (eg. Dakar Tour - flying support for Rallye Paris-Dakar teams in formerly Africa, now South America). These guys are pretty professional, and pretty good, at least by virtuals standarts :) and they are having a skill race in helos.

Wow, I love how FSX simulate the head movements
I'd like to see CVARS in action,are they working in IVAO?
We got here in the israeli division the Virtual desert Birds,working with S-70 blackhawks specialized in rescues,of course they are based on the real Desert Birds (123 squadron),unfortunately they aren't really active lately.

Good ole throttle is fine enough.

And Yes, CVARS are IVAO positive fellas. Seek CVZ c/s in LKAA FIR (btw. seek CVI for me, and at time, only me, nobody else seems to use the c/s :) )

I never got the hand of coordinating a stick with twist-grip, and I got the Rescue Pilot mission add-on for FSX which use a helicopter for several of the missions.
