Interesting issue...will start FSX now and check that out.

OK, I just checked out the VSI, and it seems to be working fine. Can you be a little more specific as to what was wrong with it?

A turn indicator was not included, as the 3 gauge-across style enstrom panel does not have one.

Thank you for this helicopter, I have downloaded from Avsim and test flown it this morning.

One feature which did strike me was the tendancy for the nose to oscillate from side to side. At first I thought that this was just me being clumsy, but I found that it was induced by twisting my joystick, and that it continued for a short while after releasing the stick. Flying without twisting the stick completely removes the oscillation.

I don't have this problem with my other rotorcraft, is this a feature of the Enatrom?

Hi Frank,

Thank you for downloading our helicopter!

Regarding the tendency of the nose to move from side to side, this is one thing I noticed on my test flights. I have found that you just have to be careful while flying it. I have not been able to track down the source of the problem in the FDE, but will continue to investigate so that in the planned future update for the 280FX, the issue will be fixed. (If I do come up with a fix before then, I'll post the necessary CFG tweaks in order to solve the issue)

Best Regards,
Brandon
