hornetdriver25 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hi, I am thinking about getting the AH-1Z,UH-1Y, AH-64D, and MH-47G from Area 51 simulations. Are they good products? System specs: AMD FTX 6300 six core processor 3.5 GHz, Video card Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB on board, Windows 8.1 64 bit and 1 TB on hard drive.

flibinite Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Area 51 products are generally aged and of sub-par quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornetdriver25 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 So would they have bad framerates and fly really badly? They look nice though.

firehawkordy Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 So would they have bad framerates and fly really badly? They look nice though. I have all of the helos you mentioned and I can say that they do have good frame rates and fly okay. I would not recommend Zulu Cobra as the Virtavia/Alpha Sim one is about the same and it's freeware now. Area 51 helos a loads better than what Abacus puts out but not even close to Cera Sim, MilViz or ND. They are between $20-30 and that's the best reason to buy them. I like them very much and use them a lot however, the Venom Huey needs to have the fuel consumption rate cut way down. The reason I say that is you will find yourself out of gas 15 minutes into your flight. I played around with the .cfg for the aircraft until I got as close to it's range as I could, I also got help from the guys at Hovercontrol in crunching the numbers for the consumption and burn. All in all as they are what you pay for, but as far as a Venom Huey, that's the only game in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftldave Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Area 51 is often criticized for poorly written manuals, lack of aircraft performance data, etc. Their models look great, but ... it's often said their packages don't match the value of their competitors.
