In my opinion the DODOsim is the best and the most realistic helo. :P
That cold start is just great.

My hanger of Helicopters consists of the following in order of preference.

Dodo 206 (can't beat this heli for realism)
Cera Bell 412 (Feels great, good visibility, and excellent VC)
Nemeth MD902 (Good VC, excellent power, and feels pretty good)
Nemeth EC135 (My very first purchase, no longer fly it though)
Nemeth Samson SA2 (latest purchase, but can't run it in HD, so don't fly it much)
Nemeth CH-53E (Great heavy beast, pain to start sometimes, but okay to fly)
Nemeth EC120b (Never liked it)

The OH-6A and MD500 Defender and the Alphasim CH-53A are no longer installed, but owned. Also tried the Tilt Rotor, that is still installed but I don't fly it very much.

So yeah I guess you could say I was a Heli fan  ::)

I've got all the Nemeth choppers. (Not too keen on the Milviz ones, but they'll do). Don't have the dodo I'm afraid - never saw the need for all that accuracy - I have 400 ish hands on (as in "you have"). Besides - the 206 is the dullest civvy chopper around. Give me an EC 120, 130, 135... BO 105...even the "little bird"... but the 206? If only dodo had done something else...

Aerosoft huey is there. Nice model!

The FSHeli Alouette and Lama are fantastic! So is the Cera 412.

The Just Flight Schweizer CB300 is pretty and fun. Heli nuts - me too!

which of the Nemeth designs have cold and dark startup?

I'm thinking of getting my first payware heli but it has to be cold and dark at startup, I mean really what's the point otherwise?

You can start them all CaD more or less if you arrange it that way.

On the other hand - Puma, Jolly Green Giant, Skycrane, Samson all have decent start procedures in the manuals that you can follow. Check with the Nemeth forums on the product support pages - I understand one or two users experience CaD start problems.

If it bugs you on any aercraft, just load it as normal. Shut it down using a keyboard shortcut (you have to set one yourself as there is none by default - I set "shift + ctrl + E" as my magic shut down command - and then you are almost CaD.

Just call the previous pilot a lazy B and set all the switches to where they should be.
