Editorial

Having been more or less immediately impressed by the images, I downloaded the Eurocopter in anticipation. Whilst not getting the chance to fly an aircraft like this too often, it seemed like one I could get the hang of quickly. The developers done a great job of making it look the part, so I just had to hope for the same quality in the air.

Design Quality

The developers have gone really far with getting this to look the part. Not only is the two provided liveries very impressive in how accurate they are, but the texture quality is outstanding. The developer of the original model, Heiko Richter, has done a fine job. This looks excellent in every contestable manner.

Having looked at some photos of the Eurocopter EC-135 myself afterward, I can confirm this is pretty accurate. It’s in scale, attention to detail has been paid, and it carries a rich and friendly color tone – overall, the design quality is excellent.

Flight Quality

Immediately I found myself quite impressed by how the aircraft took off. The development of the dynamics must have taken a while because it was very easy to move around. Although not usually a big fan of aircraft that are so easy to chuck around, this felt pretty easy to get to grips with.

So, I started to engage in some more challenging flights with the aircraft. I’ve yet to have any serious problems with the model, in truth. It’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it so far as I was told to expect. In terms of flight realism then, I’d have to be pretty positive about how well this handles.

Overall, this is a very worthwhile pickup for anyone who enjoys trying out new models. It’s hardly unique in how it handles, but that’s no bad thing.
