Good but needs more work

As an RC heli flyer of both electric and gas helis I will say the physics in this app is pretty close to what I would expect from a virtual flying app. That being said it still needs a bit of work.

Going through each of the Helis in just the start up pack that comes with this purchase....

- The coast guard helis tail rotor doesnt spin. (Just a picky thing I noticed but wanted to let the developers know its there)

- the CH-46 needs a little work on the physics engine. I have a model Ch-46 and understand very well how it flys. In this app however when turning their is way too much throw in the joystick to turn ratio. The smallest increments in joystick movement make this model spin way more then it should.

- the small viewfinder at the bottom which shows a zoomed in view seems to glitch out a lot on me. Randomly it goes black and then turns back on. Sometimes the model stays present but the environment behind it goes black. Thats while flying close (I noticed it goes black when you get far away from view as well)

- the follow view camera seems really odd. I get why they had to make the ground endless as the fixed camera is just a stitched 360 image however there needs to be a new way to make the follow camera work. It would be a neat little feature to fly behind the model but not at its current state. That mode needs more development. Maybe just create an entire 3D world to fly through? Rather then an image with a never ending ground pattern.

- When trying to fly in 3D or at least enter into a 3D position I have to release my throttle up stick in order to activate my idle up switch. Usually this results in a crash if Im low to the ground because of releasing the throttle. Not sure why the throttle up switch isnt active to hit at all times like on my actual Dxi6 receiver.

Anyway if the physics engine continues to improve I will gladly give 5 stars but until then I have to be a harsh critic and say 3 stars is where Im at. Also I wish more fields and models were unlocked for $5. I hate in app purchase and dont really care for forking out more money when I already paid for the app. It would be nice if the next update provided a few extra complimentary models and maps. Just a thought though. I definitely do understand that months and maybe even years of development went into the creation of this app and it I greatly respect that hard work. I just wish more came with the $5 purchase.
