NZFF

its out and going for 32USD

i couldnt resist



download link

It looks outstanding!

Any chance for a mini-review?

Been waiting along time for this one going out to buy now ,i feel a movie coming on ..

Looks great!

I hate having to wait for downloads, i gather this was a overnight release which is good for me waking to this ,i said when this Helicopter came out id fly more so i better get crackin ...aw i feel excited for a change
Ps.. mat you must have been up at the crack of dawn to paint it so quickly good job by the way

JEEPERS! , ... I feel the need , the need for another Helicopter !

So far installed great ,flys ok for me ,sounds are good, animations ie like rotorblades flap in the wind like the cowling tags ,most VC buttons works and VC is very nice ,ill have some screens soon gotta fly TaupoX to Waikato hospital then transfer to Auckland hosp and back again so check bk soon ,first impressions is this is now my favorite Heli the AS350 is now in the hanger

How realistic is the startup modeled? i remember seeing that there bell 212 and 412's were pretty cool at startup time, nice slow blade spoolup unlike most of the other Heli's produced for FSX

......here we go again....just as i get a few dollors saved.....

OK, I just purchased it, and am having a lot of difficulty starting it up.

I'm used to dealing with complex aircraft, and have followed the checklist to the T regarding the procedure, but the engine that I am starting first keeps shutting down on me.
Could someone lead me through a step-by-step manual startup procedure please? I haven't had this much problem with an addon in quite a while.

I havent had much more flying this morning but will check out the problems you mentioned soon ,to jump start it i just slew up 10 feet and unslew which will start it ,the overhead panels lights up everything ppwer wise ,im going to spend time on it alittle this arvo after i finish a PC fix that came up

Figured it out.

I had my default flight set up as the default Cessna 172 in a cold/dark state.
Apparently with this helicopter, you are required to have a saved flight state with the engine running prior to loading this addon. I started the Cessna, switched to the 222, shut everything back down, and then the helicopter started up fine with the checklist procedures.
Will see if I can get away with doing that procedure, then saving the Bell 222 in the cold and dark state as my startup flight/default flight to see if it still works.

Cheers Sean ,good news have not got it yet , but i went through my trail period with the Nemeth CH53 at SP1/SP2 release

I had a dream last night that I was flying some helicopter in the left seat (like a real life dream) around Tauranga and it had that yellow and red paint on it. I think this was the helicopter I was flying. lol Could be wrong but yeah...

Hey Eddy, you sure it wasnt this one

Lol, maybe.

Bought, downloaded and installed this morning................. arrrg had to go to and do that work thing..... now I am going for much awaited fly.

i addressed the spot view at hover control, euroastar350 and his team suggested this

View distance is easily fixed...

1. Download RADItor @http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=RADItor
2. open the Bell 222's exterior MDL (Bell_222B_VIP_Ext.MDL)
3. click Read
4. set the radius to 8 meters (this is what I set it to)
5. Click write

Start FSX and the viewpoint should be fixed. Same fix has to be applied to the EMS MDL file (Bell_222B_EMS_Ext.MDL) if you want that one fixed.
