CowanSim 222B - Microsoft Flight Simulator Add-On Review
Synthwave music blares as a sleek black and white shape streaks across the sky... for many of us this was our first introduction to the 222B!
I am no expert when it comes to frantic palm trees (aka helicopters) but the 222B is definitely an icon of the type. Cowan Simulations has lovingly created a highly detailed rendition of this aircraft and released it for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Not only is it provided with the standard luxurious executive interiors, they also provide us with a medivac option along with a host of other small detailed dynamic adjustable features.
Come along for a ride as I check out this release in detail from Cowan Simulations, and attempt to not completely destroy a virtual helicopter! Will I succeed? Or will I become a smoking crater on a rooftop somewhere?
Also... I blame Sergio for making me fly helicopters!
