Here it is, Milviz's latest, The Bell 407.

Being a Kiwi the first thing I did was install a hook (not a real helicopter without one) and put it to work.

This is a really good add on, it flies really well, quite stable but retains a good amount of twitchiness if you get ham fisted with it. But work it and it will reward you, just check out the parking on the helipad done from the VC without much mucking about in the hover and without needing to screw it into place after the first touch down

However have yet to figure out how to start it, (thousands of actual turbine starts of no use apparently, may have to read the instructions yet), cannot get my autopilot to work, and it really does have the auto-rotational characteristics of a brick. Straight down!

Apart from that my new favorite

Autopilot? who needs a stinkin autopilot? laugh.gif

Lol in all seriousness though, I did put the Force Trim system in for a reason wink.gif . Check the little controls menu in the top left corner of the ACM. You can link it directly to a button on your stick there. You can also use the FSX elevator/aileron trim assignments in FSX (they do nothing of their own for helos but I made them adjust the cyclic position) for fine trim control as well.

I had found the force trim button, It was already linked in, brilliant idea!

I have my elevator trim buttons configured to operate the hoist on all my helicopters, so I found another couple of unused buttons and it works pretty good. But the force trim button just works so well, hit the button and centralize the joystick, so easy tongue.gif

Now when is the 530F going to be ready? and will you use the force trim for that as well? and can I have a hook on it please? notworthy.gif
