About:
The Bell 206 is a family of two-bladed, single- and twin-engined helicopters, manufactured by Bell Helicopter at its Mirabel, Quebec, plant. Originally developed as the Bell YOH-4 for the United States Army's Light Observation Helicopter program, it was not selected by the Army. Bell redesigned the airframe and successfully marketed the aircraft commercially as the five-place Bell 206A JetRanger. The new design was eventually selected by the Army as the OH-58 Kiowa. Bell also developed a seven-place LongRanger, which was later offered with a twin-engined option as the TwinRanger, while Tridair Helicopters offers a similar conversion of the LongRanger called the Gemini ST. The ICAO-assigned model designation "B06" is used on flight plans for the JetRanger and LongRanger, and the designation "B06T" is used for the twin-engined TwinRangers.
Include:
- High skid model (15 liveries)
- Low skid model (4 liveries)
- 19 liveries in total
FEATURES:
Procedures:
- Can be opearated using real aircraft flight manual
- Realistic startup/shutdown procedure using real world checklists
- CPanel and checklists (Shift+1)
- Hydraulic test/fail behave
Animation:
- Fully clickable cockpit
- Rotor swing on windy conditions
- Vibrating cockpit parts with influence of main rotor RPM and ground contact
- Vibrating needles due to pitot-static ports airflow disturbs
- All door opening/closing animated and accessible via CPanel
- Windows opening/closing animated
Aerodynamic:
This revision of Bell 206 uses custom flight model with additional libraries dynamicallycalculating forces and airflow in background to provide presence of helicopter specific aerodynamic effects such as:
- Torque induced yaw
- Effective translational lift
- Transverse flow & flap-back effect
- Side translating tendency
- Loss of tail rotor effectiveness (at high airspeed only-incapacity of yaw & tailwind conditions)
- Vortex ring state
- Rotor overpitch
- Autorotation flight with engine off or engine on idle (normal and vertical autortation supported)
- Main rotor RPM change according airflow change
- Torque variation with rough collective lever inputs
- Turbine temperature variation with rough collective liver inputs
- Fully functional rotor brake for turbine model helicopter
Good afternoon, I have had the opportunity to try this product, and I want to recommend it 100%. Physically the helicopter responds very well to the movements that we force on it, and continuously gives the feeling of realism. Graphically it is frame friendly. That does not mean that it is not well modeled, because it is designed down to the smallest detail. The price is very good and do not waste the opportunity to have this product in your simulator.
A greeting.
