And just because the R22 is the first
helicopter release for Aerofly FS2 doesn't mean that it will lack
quality, quite the opposite actually. The quality and craftsmanship
that was put into the development of the R22 surpasses anything ever
developed before.
The Robinson R22 also has physics that
are so precise you would swear that you were flying the real bird,
especially in VR. With an Oculus Rift and Touch Controllers you can have one of the best experiences ever seen in a flight simulator to date.
The Aerofly FS2 R22 was designed with
the professional and novice in mind featuring both a beginner mode
that provides more stability and balance when you fly allowing you to
fly while enjoying the surrounding scenery, and a professional mode
that handles just like the real life counterpart. Whichever
mode you choose you can be sure that you will have the experience of a
lifetime.
We are confident that the R22 will add
many new hours of excitement and exploration. How will you spend your
time?

I bought and tested it last week after @Chazmeister 's rave (well, he likes it, anyway) in a couple of pm's. I didn't like it. I'm a long-time flight simmer - it's what I bought all my computers for in the early days and was rarely interested in anything else - I have many thousands of hours on various flight sims - mostly combat, but a few of the civvy ones including all those available today. I'm mostly a GA virtual pilot and twin props are my forté, though nothing beats bush flying - preferably in a twin prop! 😄 So this isn't based on airliner flying.
AFS2 didn't do anything for me at all (in VR only). I got a refund as the ones I have and use regularly, FSX and P3D3 I find better. More control (i.e. in the virtual cockpit), better weather, better terrain (I use FTX now) more to do, and much better add-on availability.
If you don't use other flight sims, AFS2 may be fine for you, but not for me.
Bring on Deadstick! Bush Pilot! Now that is one I am really looking forward to 🙂
I'm sure Chaz will be happy to tell you what he thinks are its good points.
PS - as for "real" I again didn't find it any more or less realistic, as far as physics or aerodynamics is concerned, than other sims, although the aircraft seemed to have less operable functions.

Do those virtual cockpits work with touch in FSX & P3D3 & do they support native VR?

XP11 VR at 45fps looks a lot better to me than af fs2 at 90fps so maybe fps in a sim in not everything?

Brixmis, you should try the free X-Plane 11 Demo. This has native VR support and works very well imho. Much more realistic than af fs2 (which I tried earlier this year from a Steam sale, then got a refund). XP11 VR at 45fps looks a lot better to me than af fs2 at 90fps so maybe fps in a sim in not everything?
