I wrote some new code to drive X-Plane directly rather than using the internal FDR playback, this lets me add in the Helicopter. Given the lack of precise data on the helicopter's route I made a rough estimate on speed and altitude. And you can see it's hidden against... show more

It’s the helicopter that should have easily seen the plane directly in front of its flight path. Why would you not visualize the copter instead?

One step at a time, it took a lot of messing around to get this far.

Boost, surf, and weave your way through The Art of Flight, an arcade game about flying multiple ships at the same time. With solo, local co-op, and a leaderboard, there are tons of ways to play. Wishlist on Steam today!

It wasn't up to the CRJ to see PAT25. He was doing everything right on a stable close-final. Conversely; PAT25 had been looking right at that jet's landing lights for 1.5 miles. That's the long green line here.

Wow.. really didn't see it until the second or third watch.. thanks for putting this together, Scott

Time to seriously take a look and light polution.

Nicely done. I hope this helps. As a pilot myself there is too much nonsense going around about this tragedy. Way too much. Waaaaaay too much…

I intend to do some intentional Smashup Derby in DCS later tonight. Too busy to right now. But I need to know just how hard it is to side-impact a jetliner that's in short final with your helicopter. I suspect pretty hard to get the timing just right, but maybe not. Has NVGs too!

can you switch view to the right seat? I think the helo came in from the right so it might be seen in that view. In the cockpit audio someone screamed as signal went dead, so someone saw it coming.

I’m far from an expert, but from the videos I’ve seen, it looked like the helicopter approached from the mid/side, so there’s no way the pilots in the airplane would have seen it coming or had much time to react. The helicopter had the maneuverability to avoid the airplane. Seeing a simulation on the helicopter point of view will be good.

If Scott posts about it on Twitter, that means he has already entered the rabbit hole and two steps further along. I’m going to guess an incoming YouTube video today or tomorrow, IF he decides to share his opinion.
