You really recommend Cowansim Bell? I think this one is rubbish, not even autorotation is possible (worse as on Bell 407)

Almost afraid to ask, since the latest posts, but here it is.
Is this still valid after SU12?
Peace

I have the smae question. I own the Cowansim but I've always been a fan of the 407 since Milviz released theirs for FSX long ago. I'd love to give it a try but I don't want to tank my MSFS install, as I don't have the space to start over.

I've said in many comments here I will no longer work on this. Why give 1 star for something you can see from the comments? Stop complaining and go work on it yourself if you want to.

Tried to delete and then reinstall the 407 from the content manager. Didn't help. The sim still hangs unless you run it in safe mode.

Ever since I loaded your bell 407 mod the sim hangs when I pick the 407 and load a flight. I have deleted the mod from the community folder but it still hangs. The only way to exit is to go to the task manager and end msfs. After restarting the sim, I have to run in safe mode to get the flight loaded. Now can you please tell me how to correct this?

Been using since first release. Was wondering if work on this mod is going to continue as MS haven't release any update on this as of today. Gotta say this mod was heading in the right direction for this helicopter.

Hey,
Sorry but unfortunately no. I've been really busy with other things and I just can't work on this anymore.
Thanks

Hi thanks for the mod, I just installed it and what i have noticed is that the translating tendency seems to be gone completly. I now actually have to lean slightly to the RIGHT to stay in one place, even though the tail rotor should push me to the right and I should have to lean left... Is this intentional because of the canted main rotor or what is going on?
Another thing i was wondering is why I cant go to 0% torque with the collective - for autorotations for example. I can overtorque it now but still cant seem to lower it all the way to increase rotor speed during an autorotation.
Thanks!

Yes, it's done this way due to the canted rotor. I used default rotor disk position isntead of actually messing around with the rotor position in the configs (it's way too much work and the sdk isn't really that friendly)
And the torque doesn't go 0 because if you don't add negative beta to the blade as a min (so collective full down) the helicopter never actually descends the way it should. The torque gauge is not really... representative of what the helicopter does, if it makes any sense.

Doesn't start up unless it's already running on the runway. Really a big bummer I can't start from a parking spot and cold/dark start 😞 ... I've seen lots of similar comments spanning mod versions. Is there any reason you can't add ctrl+e functionality so that for those where it's not working we can at least start it using auto-start?

Or just fix it, can’t be that hard.

Twist the colective from idle to fly position, it should work.

Hi. Thank you for this mod. Before I found this, I tried to fly with the Bell 407 with barely any luck at all assists off. When I lift off it starts to roll back and the nose pushes up. With your mod it is more "stable" so I feel it reacts more faster to the pedals and cycle. Is this how it works in real life? meaning that the default 407 is "unrealisticly hard" to fly? Cheers!

Default is not realistic. My mod, im not so sure. I hope so
