Let's get the X-Plane version (Rotorsim Edition) as a stable release and then we can think about making it fit to FSX. Maybe you or others could help then, as long I don't have FSX the more I don't have an EC for it. I decided to use X-Plane as a very mighty flightsimulator which has way more realistic flight dynamics. Maybe there's a chance for you to switch, too? ;) Otherwise you have to wait, sorry :?

I had a try with the Nemeth Designs EC135 in Prepar3D. The flight dynamics are awful... There's no torque effect, you can even do a full pull on the collective, it goes straight up without applying any pedals and the RPM stays totally stable. There's also zero ground effect. A little time ago I even almost vertically landed the A2A Cessna 172, down wind! The sceneries for FSX and P3D might be nice, but apart from that it's worthless. So far for my anti FSX and P3D talk :mrgreen:

I certainly don't mind waiting at all, it's cool that you're even considering an FSX version. I have never tried X-plane but only because I just haven't found the time yet. This might give me the motivation to get a copy for sure.

If you do a little maths, you could calculate this by yourself :P

Pythagoras is your friend ;)

We use 10cm width and 75cm height ones for the 5" VEMD and CAD screens.

You are right, but for the two 6,5" screens on the right? :)

I have another question, where can I buy a 15" or 17" monitor frameless? (I hope it's the correct word :oops: )

You can just by any cheap screen tjat fits your dimensions and remove the plastic parts. Quiet easy and cheap anyways... 8-)
