INSTALLATION, this ship is for FS98, but it can be loaded into FS2000 ok.
This aircraft comes already configured for FS98. Unzip the file and place the aircraft folder in the aircraft directory of FS98.
It utilises the standard fs98 bell panel and sounds which are already configured within the file and should work as long as you have not renamed the original bell 206 in FS.
The panel and sounds for this helicopter are available from Keiths panel and sounds page.
I have modified the air file to remove the unrealistic cross couple effect between the lateral cyclic and yaw pedals. (The original Bell model in FS98, although very good, produces a very unrealistic fuselage roll when pedal is applied in either direction.) However, here is a downside to this, you will find that you have a lot more yaw authority in the hover, and it only diminishes at speeds approaching 60kts, but I find this more realistic. So you may end up doing a bit of a Huey shuffle on your first few flights, but you should get the hang of it pretty quickly. The only real problem with the airfile is that if you hold in huge amounts of pedal for a few seconds, the ship will go into an irrecoverable rotation, then break. For the best handling, I suggest you turn all your control sensitivities to their full value, and reduce the null zones to their minumum. Then adjust the realism setting to your prefered value.
All my ships are available on Keiths Virtual Helipad...
