The FS9 full version Icaro BK117 B2 will be released on Hovercontrol and Icaro in the next couple of days according to members postings on Hovercontrol ,there will be a FSX version in time to come and the fs9 version needs a new air file to work in FSX ,ive done some work on the airfile but the chopper still has some slowing problems on finals ,though a good planned glide scope will work ,and she hovers really well under 40 ,
ill sort out my FSX files once the release of the final version is out for download ..

Hey Mike, have you got the files necessary for this thing to got /handle better in fsx?

[creator2003]

No not really , ,i tryed HTR "heli physics "addon though id need i lot more time to get that working and i couldnt work out its dynamics properly ,there are 3 helicopters in this world that i just cant get working right in fsx ,S76 nemeth /this bk117 /and a as355 addon i love ,
there was news that this would and was being updated to FSX though no news for awhile , it will be kewl when its FSX native ..

[NZ255]

OK, any idea how to get it to slow down? Impossible to make approaches

[creator2003]

The rpm doesnt drop enough for it to fall outta the sky ,i managed to get it to drop in htr but in the process effected other things ,ive done all sorts of mods to airfile /cfg and nothing will let it fall ..to hard basket for now

[NZ255]

Oh, I ended up just popping in my favorite heli's air file and that did the trick

WIP

[creator2003]

True? i tryed things like that but it did nothing ,will have another play at some point ..

[NZ255]

Yeah, just copy and paste...and rename to match the original air file name
In this case: 'bk117.air'

[cowpatz]

Why do you need an airfile Nick? That chopper of yours doesn't even have any rotors !

[NZ255]

Haha, no bad picture

[conundrum]

Has anyone found a solution to the nothing getting displayed in the copilot side screen?

[creator2003]

Yeah just open the the panel cfg and assign a default fs9 gps or another gauge in the text line ..
this is what it looks like ..

you want to insert some text from other aircraft panel like this one from the eh101
=eh101_map!eh101_map

or the default GPS line
=fs9gps!gps_500

you will find the panel cfg down this path C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Rotorcraft\Eurocopter BK117 Final Edition\panel
hope this helps you ..
