Bell 429 new release (Avsim)

**Navtech** · September 15th, 2016, 06:38

File Description:
A large number of different models based on the real rotorcraft and with at least one different livery per model (32 in total) / A great variety of animations: All doors (including the clamshell in the rear of the ship). Main rotor, which is fully articulated. Show/hide flight controls feature by a single mouse click. Show/hide passengers feature by a single mouse click. Show/hide pilots feature. Depending if the helicopter is on the ground, with both engines off and the battery switch off, some other objects will show or hide. And much more, find it out yourself! / Clickable Virtual Cockpit; the most important switches and knobs do its job! Engine starter, fuel valves, etc., you name it! / Integration between 2d panel gauges and virtual cockpit gauges, switches and clickspots. Caution and warning messages, depending on helicopter's conditions and limits. / Instrument backlighting effects at sunset, night and dawn! / Your flight experience will be enhanced by a sophisticated sound system which resembles the Pratt & Whiney PW207D1 Turboshaft Engines. You will be able to enjoy the start up and shuting down sequences for both engines from interior and exterior perspectives; audible transitions between idling, on ground at 100% rpm and also in flight conditions. I have included -as a bonus- a set of two audio files meant to be used beside the BladeSlapSND (Helicopter Blade Slap Sound Gauge) by Stephan Siebertz. / Author: Sergio Kauffman.

Having followed the development from the start and assisting Sergio with a few hints or bits of XML code in the process, I may say that you won't be disappointed in this one.

FSX and X-Plane conversions of the model are in the works by others.

Agreed!

Followed over at FSDev, he covered all the bases.

For some silly reason, the board won't let me edit the original post to add a link, so I'll post it here. This link will get you all related downloads:

Eagle Rotorcraft Simulations (me) is doing the FSX conversion of this helicopter, but albeit at a slow pace

The FS9 helo guys show us again and again what top notch feeware is all about.
This one is no exception, the VC (if one had to pick a feature) is absolutely beautifully done.
A superb model all round, congratulations and thanks to all involved.
