ddavid 149 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Many Thanks to Andrew Godden for the heads up... FlySim.US have released a new FSX native Bell 47-G helicopter add-on. Details here The Bell 47 is a two-bladed, single engine, light helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. The Bell 47 became the first helicopter certified for civilian use on March 8 1946. The bell G 2 uses the 47GLycoming O-435 / 190HP as the H-13 is 195HP. The Bell 47 helicopter entered U.S. military service in late 1946 and was designated the H-13 Sioux by the United States Army. It has also served as the helicopter of choice for basic helicopter flight instruction in many countries. NASA had a number of Bell 47s during the Apollo program, used by astronauts as trainers for the Lunar Lander. I remember the 47-G as it was featured in the "Whirlybirds" TV series - Ouch! Here's a nice video of the sim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGP7YIac8x4&feature=player_embedded Looks interesting - maybe a Review coming up - see what the Boss says... Maybe Micke can tell us about the music? Skol - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Oh.. that whirlybird brings back memories of the opening scenes of the M*A*S*H TV-series. The music was annoyingly familiar, but I just couldn't place it without some google-ing, and even with the hits on google I really can't say that The Ceasars are that familiar to me (even if they are swedes).
