Komodo Simulations announced new products being added to their line for helicopter flight simulation training,

The Virtual Blade and the Virtual Blade Pro are compact systems developed to be used on several sims: VBS, X-Plane, DCS, Prepar3D and ARMA.

Although not a turnkey solution(it lacks a computer and the visual system – which you can also get from Komodo, by the way, and they will hook you up with everything you may need), it’s a very complete system, with a seat all the controls and, of course, the moving platform.

Just plug it into a computer, go through the usual calibration/assignment settings and off you go.

The main difference between the two sets is the quality construction of the base. The Virtual Blade Pro is a more rugged system, designed for the professional market.
