**installation:
==============
As some flightsimmers are 'allergic' to the 'Bell206B' flight dynamics, 2
options are included with this model. The default one is the JetRanger's.
The alternate, based on the good old 'Jet/flaps' model, can be activated
using the instructions below. Compared to 'Bell206B', the 'Jet/flaps' is
very easy to operate and will practically land itself at a speed of about 10
knots with flaps fully extended.
* For the Bell206B's flight dynamics
=====================================
Place the b430_v2 folder in flitsim98/Aircraft folder
and your ready to go!.
Reduce 'flight realizm' to 'easy', there is no shame in that! The FS98 helo
FD is
inherently unstable and you rightfully deserve any assistance available.
This newly modified FD will allow easier hovering with good separation
between yawing and
rolling .
However, in order to take full advantage of it:
- Pedals, or any other means of proportional rudder control, are
recommended.
- Increase the rudder sensitivity to max, at the 'custom control' menu.
- During hover and low speeds, yaw the aircraft gently and make sure to
counter-check the yawing action once at
the desired heading (I.E., push a pedal to yaw the aircraft and then push
the opposite
pedal to stop yawing). The aircraft will not stop the yawing action by itself!
This might sound complicated at first but be patient and try it - you'll feel
right
at home very soon and hover and yaw like a pro!
For viewing the still rotors, I adopted the standard set by Ian Standfast.
