Detailed features Highly accurate and intricately detailed model Authentic custom sound built from the real aircraft sounds - internal and external Highly realistic custom flight model created by an industry leader in this field High-quality authentic aircraft textures inside and out giving you that 'real feel' Based on extensive research on the real-world aircraft Immersive virtual cockpit with mouse clickable instruments and knobs Authentic 2D instrument panel FSX and FS compatible Authentic animations: Rotors, rotating belts, moving swash plates, entry doors - even the door handles work!
Details, details! Highly detailed engine and rotor drives and small but important items like the Comms and Nav radio antennas, footsteps, tie-down points, door hinges, temperature gauge probes, fuel tank caps — you can even see the printing on the individual drive belts, all individually numbered! Variety for fun flying! Seats are thin but the vinyl seating covers are just so realistic even in their shapes and light reflections.
Headphones hanging on the center roof support can be used by clicking on them and the external sound goes down slightly with their usage. Slender collective sits between the seats for either pilot of co-pilot use. Panel instruments are quite basic no artificial horizon?
Lighting switchgear includes - both adjustable avionic and panel lighting, panel main switch, position and beacon switches.
Fuel mixture and fuel shutoff knobs with electrical main key switch, Battery and Alternator switches. To note that the Cylinder Head Temperature CHT here is driven by a custom algorithm which simulates more realistically the CHT behavior to give a more realistic flying experience, instead of it being just a dumb gauge.
Cockpit reflections are excellent, and with such a very large glass area it could have been quite bad, but the depth is just right for realism. You can animate the way you enter the aircraft by pressing an active arrow by the lower door. There is a compartment under the panel that can be opened to reveal the SC's checklist, making it very handy for use.
Cockpit and panel lighting is excellent, the panel is shown here at full brightness but it can be toned down. There is a green map light on the rear bulkhead that can be fully adjusted in all axis and is also very good. Under the aircraft there is a spotlight, with a hard to see switch on the front of the cyclic. The spotlight is also fully adjustable to get the right lighting angle you require. On the wheels you can have them selected up or click on a zone to turn a handle to lower the wheels and lift the skids off the ground.
GPU Ground Power Unit can be used either from the menu or by pressing the power outlet on the left side of the aircraft. Both fuel tanks can be filled via pressing the fuel caps and use a gauge to set the tank amount. There are three exhaust options in: Short - Long pipe - Long and Tip. The different sizes of the exhaust options will change the sound source with:.
The SB uses the standard circular Dreamfoil menu system which is activated by pressing on the right top hand corner of the panel. Smart livery allows you to select a livery by going round a dial and clicking on a version you like, easy!
Stability allows you to adjust the Pitch-Roll-Yaw percentages if you require a different feel for the aircraft. The Customize menu is the main selection point to adjust or change the features on the aircraft. DreamEngine 3d sounds is one of the best sound systems in X-Plane and you have full control of the different sound settings through the inbuilt menu.
You can adjust the weights of both the Pilot and Co-Pilot, which is interesting in the way you can set up and fly the aircraft. There is a full set of default views that is available through the menu, included views are: Pilot - Passenger Co-Pilot - Panel - Cyc. I was expecting the Schweizer SCBi to be very, very nervous or twitchy, as it is such a very small agile little insect of a machine. But in fact it was quite a well balanced and quite stable aircraft to fly Startup was quite easy.
Power Bat and Alt switches on, make sure the mixture knob is in and turn the key and hold for a short while Inputs are as expected with very fine movements, but control was easy and I had no issues slipping up and away from Page Field.
Transition from vertical to forward movement was seemless but the aircraft is very light and you can gain height very quickly if you don't arrest it. Your speed is not going to break the sound barrier, but I found I settled quickly into a nice 70knts at around ft. The SC does not come fitted with a governor, normally it's a unofficial kit that people install on the aircraft after purchase, so it is simulated here that the non-governed version when not fitted or if governor is disabled it does correctly simulate the correlator behavior which is a link between the collective and throttle to reduce pilot workload, when raising collective it will also increase throttle or vice-versa.
Sounds are overall excellent, and you can't fault them. But the wind factor is quite big on the aircraft as if you are flying with the doors off then if you stick you head out into the slipstream then the wind noise will get louder the faster you go, the wind noises are also tuned to give you the correct wind sounds that are generated by the shape of the open door and the angle of the wind.
Noted as well is the factor if the doors are on or off the noise is higher or more slightly muted when closed. There is hook underside of the aircraft but I think the one missing feature are two spraying booms, as a lot of these aircraft are used for crop spraying, and that would have be a fun activity for future reference.
You do feel the lightness more when auto-rotating back to the hover, and you have to be quite exact with your cyclic inputs to retard in the speed and height. The tail at these very slow or positioning speed is quite easily lost as the power is converted to the rear thrust. Nothing here you can't handle of course but a little practise is needed to get the feel right. But overall you quickly love the feel and manoeuvrability of the machine and slow long turns soon become a favorite way of just changing direction.
Engine shutdown is quite quick with a pull of the fuel shut off knob, but the rotors will take ages to slow down and droop, as there is no rotor brake but pilots usually slightly grab hold the tail transmission shaft when under RPM rotation and this is simulated by a hand on the transmission shaft You can as noted earlier adjust the rotor angle centre of the hub to find the tie down points which are on active areas on the skids and tail boom.
As light helicopters go you can't really go past the Schweizer SCBi. There is nothing here to be negative about as everything is pretty well covered. Great to fly, handle and easy to flow, it is an easy aircraft to fly or learn if you want to transition to vertical aircraft, it is just a little twitchy in the landing and auto-rotation back to vertical flight, so you have to practise that to get it perfect. You have almost "Insanely Great" detailing and animations, loads of excellent features, excellent quality textures 4K liveries , great sounds and everything is packaged perfectly.
DreamFoil Creations are at the top of the game in many areas, but their helicopters are simply outstandingly good and the Schweizer SCBi is another of their brilliant creations. Org Store here :.

Old-Fashioned, Mark Twain Approach: "Show them what you can do and the rest will take care of itself. Having a positive attitude can lead to your ultimate success in helicopter flight training much more than intelligence, than circumstance, than skill, education, money or background. A positive attitude towards your flight training can spark positive outcomes and extraordinary results.
And that same positive attitude can and will give you an edge through your entire flying career. Helicopter Flight "It takes infinitely more knowledge and skill to stop, then land, than it does to land, then stop!
