Saddle up in a Bell Jet Ranger or AgustaWestland EH101 and complete missions safeguarding lives and property in a number of scenic locations.
RAS Helicopter Missions offers nine different challenges for the virtual pilot. Each one is completely detailed, from the pre-flight inspection and briefing, startup, take off, cruise and the task itself. Scenes range from Flushing, New York to the Grand Canyon to Saint-Tropez in France to the top of a volcano in the Caribbean.
You’ll call on all your skills, savvy and experience to locate a yacht at sea, transport passengers around New York City, or locate and rescue some sheep on a windswept mountaintop in New Zealand.
Every mission is self-contained, and performed in real time. Depending on the challenge, you could find yourself in the air for an hour, or over four hours, which requires you to keep a careful eye on the fuel gauge and prevailing weather conditions. Some missions are multiple role, as you patrol the Grand Canyon, providing assistance as needed throughout your busy day.
Fire up RAS Helicopter Missions Vol. 2 for FSX and put on the uniform of the Norwegian Coast Guard, or the US Navy. The wide range of possible missions and realistic scenery means that every flight is different, leading to hours of absorbing play.
Roussillon Aero Simulation has put their best into this program, working with the real companies and organizations that do this work every day in order to bring you a state of the art flying simulation.

This is a package of nine missions, all in helicopters varying from the Robinson to the EH101. They aren't perhaps as difficult as the levels indicated by the mission makers, but they involve very long flights which can be quite tiresome, especially when flying helicopters (which of course don't have auto-pilots). I encountered a problem in the "Libya" mission, where a necessary Simobject ("ParachuteOpen") just wasn't found on the computer after installation. After some fruitless search, and after consulting with the makers (RAS), I made a change in the mission (.xml) file to an existing droppable object, and after that it worked. Sounds and effects are good, and the mission scenarios very varied. I would have rated this package "4" hadn't it been for the tedious flying, sometimes of as much as two hours between points.
