[MSFS 2024] Erickson SkyCrane: New Year, New Helo...

Happy New Year and welcome back to sunny Papua New Guinea. For our second installment of MSFS 2024 videos, I am going to start taking a look at some of the "First Party" default helicopters. The mammoth S-64 SkyCrane is first on our list. Brought to us from Blackbird Sims, this behemoth is a workhorse that is well known for saving lives. For today, we are going to follow the river south, to a quiet mountain community.

PC Specs -

Intel i7 68500K Haswell Hex core CPU on MSI X99A board (water cooled)

AMD Radeon 7900XT

I use OBS fullscreen on monitor 2 as my recording image source, and I record using AMD Adrenaline software.

I got to tow one of these S64's from the hangar a few days ago! We put almost 1000 gallons of fuel on before it left to California to help out with the fire fighting effort

I also did not look at VR Pilor seating position but they are in the Cloud so can't access the .cfg files, maybe once the download option becomes available we'll see. I also been barelt in the new sim and I did remove the old one so that's that. I've been updatin all the addons that became available for the new sim & they mostly don't work in the old so I'm past the point of no return. I did not fly this aircraft yet so thanks for showing :-) Yes lets keep telling MS / Asobo that they need to include VR fixes because is the main reason I don't like to be in the sim that much anymore. I filled in VR questions for the next MS / Asobo dev stream.
