This Shergood 305 is an SL reproduction of the classic Brantly 305 helicopter. The Brantly 305 was originally introduced in the 1960s. It uses a 305hp fuel-injected six cylinder horizontally opposed Lycoming IVO-540 engine. The 305 seats five and has wheels for ground taxi.
The SA-FE (Shergood Aviation Flight Engine) engine driving this virtual reproduction is the most advanced and realistic in SL. It was designed and created by an RL helicopter pilot. The engine is purely physics based and features independent control of cyclic, collective, throttle and anti-torque pedals enabling true power-off autorotations. Features include:
- Shergood Flight System
- Working yaw string can be used as reference to coordinate cyclic and pedal inputs.
- Realism features can be enabled or disabled to adjust level of difficulty.
- Helicopter weight changes as fuel is burned.
- Weight dependent performance (fuel and passengers)
- Main rotor torque (pedals must be used to compensate)
- Independent engine and rotor RPM
- True power-off autorotations
- Ground effect increases lift near surfaces (land, water, or prim)
- Translational lift increases lift with forward airspeed
- Translating tendency results in a "left skid low" look during hover.
- Vortex ring state danger exists when helicopter is mishandled
- Working electrical system with rechargeable battery.
- Refueling system with fuel quantity control
- Realistic piston helicopter sounds
- Advanced lighting effects
- Accessible engine compartment
- Detailed mesh design
- Fully functioning dual controls
- Paint kit system for user customizable painting
- Unique N-number and serial number assigned to each aircraft
- HOBBS meter tracks total time on aircraft
- Access control system: owner only, guest or registered pilots
- Passenger control - enable/disable use of passenger seat, or kick passenger
- Dust/water effects when hovering near a surface
- Animated hand and foot movements track moving cockpit controls
- Collision detection/crash system alerts on crashes
- Free upgrades
