MSFS - Winchester VA to Cumberland MD in a Bell 47-G2 Helicopter
Channel: vsTerminus
Date: 2022-05-25

Helicopters in Microsoft Flight Simulator aren't officially supported yet, which means that our options are pretty limited still. To my knowledge this is still the only payware helicopter that has an actual helicopter flight model behind it, so that's what we're flying today.

The Bell 47 is pretty much unrivalled for sightseeing, though, as it has a full bubble canopy and removable doors (which I kept on to keep the noise down). With a top speed of around 90mph you're only travelling slightly faster than a car most of the time.

This particular flight is from Winchester, Virgina, through Berekeley Springs, West Virginia, and over to Cumberland, Maryland. This is part of a recent effort to fly this thing from Washington DC to Cincinnati and possibly beyond, in legs of about 100km at a time.
