The Bell 407 is a four-blade, single-engine, civil utility helicopter; a derivative of the Bell 206L-4 LongRanger. The 407 uses the four-blade, soft-in-plane design rotor with composite hub. The Bell 407 is frequently used for corporate and offshore transport, as an air ambulance, law enforcement, electronic news gathering and movie making.
Revamped and Optimized for X-Plane 11
- Improved Flight Model for XP11
- New PBR textures on both Interior and Exterior
- Many new features - see changelog
- VR Compatible
Ultra-High Resolution Model
- PBR textures for X-Plane 11
- Cabin, Cockpit and Instruments lights available with great effects.
- Realistic Flight model / Autorotations
- Force Trim available
- Full simulation of all switches and Circuit Breakers
- Hydraulic simulation - Transient Torque
- Fadec & Manual startup simulation
- Extensive commands for assigning with keys or buttons, all overhead switches and circuit breakers are accessible by a custom command
- Persistent fuel quantity for each livery, so each livery act like a different helicopter
- Instrument Exceedance simulation (will record any exceedance on MGT, TRQ and NG)
- Battery + Starter simulation, dont allow your battery voltage to get too low otherwise youll have problems during the start!
- Hotstart simulation for manual startup
- Switchable console bay allow to use Radios or Garmin 430
- Air Conditioner simulation, including a nice sound that react to vent directions
- Functional Floats can be deployed during flight for emergency landings or practicing over the water.
- Tie downs available to main rotor blades
- Caps for turbine inlet, outlet and pitot
- Fully articulated 3D rotor and Blade flex
- GPU (Ground Power Unit) available
- Pedal stop simulation, the equipment that reduces left pedal authority above 50kts, dont fly without it and push all left pedal, or youll have troubles!
- Transmission limit simulation, dont push it too far or you can break the transmission.
- Removable rotor shadows - Low and High skids options
Stability Improvements
- Pitch, Roll and Yaw augmented stability uses own algorithm for improved behavior
SmartMenu Technology
- Clickable external areas for increased interactivity.
- You can enter inside of helicopter by clicking on doors
- Refuel the helicopter by clicking on the fuel inlet, a pie slider make it very easy
- Open baggage compartment from exterior
- Interact with battery compartment and connect or disconnect the battery cable from outside
- A customization menu allow to set few equipment like (Baskets, Floats, Wire Cutters, Glass Doors) all in real-time with no need to restart the sim, each livery can be fully customized and will be unique.
- Report menu with (Min and Max G Force, Datcom, MGT, TRQ or NG exceedances, Number of crashes)
DreamEngine sounds
- Over +50 sounds included
- 3D directional sounds - Compatible with Rapture3D plugin (same used by codemasters)
- Custom sounds for switches, buttons and circuit breakers
- Realistic exterior and interior sounds - Simulation of all the Horns
