The glass effect should be improved in the new update that just gut released.

I respect the Flyinside development team, thank you for your work! I was the first to buy a Bell 47 helicopter. I corresponded a lot with the development team, I reported many visual errors that needed to be fixed. Unfortunately, the repairs have not been completed to date. I wrote 8 emails and asked them. I donāt have a good opinion about the product support.
I trust that the development team will improve the product support. Users decide which is better for the Bell 206 helicopter. (Cawon vs Flyinside)
I think for a product that was initially released exactly one week ago and now has its 4th update the product support is exceptional, particularly at a holiday period, sadly I think your expectations are unreasonable.

Can someone attach a picture of what the glass effect was like on the instruments after the update?
The glass on the gauges should minimize reflections, so I donāt really know what you are looking for ā¦ But here you are:
Edit: added a straight-on screenshot

I finally had a chance to fly this tonight for the first time. Thank you @Jigsaw407 for nudging me in this direction. All I can say is wow. I am really surprised at just how good this one is. It is absolutely fantastic to fly and I really did not want to stop. This one has vaulted to the top of my hangar and I wonāt be flying much else for a while. It is really that much fun. I am very glad that I picked this one up!

I keep encountering wild yaw oscillations in this chopper with increasing speed and/or winds. In moderate winds they can occur at speeds as low as 80-90 knots, and in calm winds at 100 knots. What is the supposed physics behind this? Are these effects realistic? I think the passengers would be puking if these effects are real. What do people in the know think about this? What is the supposed cruise speed for the type modelled in the sim?

Cruise yaw oscillations are almost always a function of trim. Watch the āBallā in the turn and bank indicator. The large, canted vertical fin on the 206 is designed to allow you to relax you pedal inputs at speed. It becomes more effective at cruise. Typically you will have almost no pedal (left/right) at high speeds. Perhaps a tiny bit at super high speeds.
When you have too much pedal to either side, the tail swings out into the slipstream and the vertical fin will push it back. You need to trim the aircraft to the wind so it flights straight into the relative wind.
Hope this helps!

Has anybody been able to cause the new particle effects? I have not, I tried over the sands of the beaches of Brazil and the snows of the Austrian Alps. No particle effects. They are enabled in the HeliManager, and I do see them in the B47ā¦ Any tips?
You got particle effects turned on in Helimanager and still getting nothing ?

Yes (Iām in VR btw, not sure if that makes a differenceā¦)
I have Just got the Flyinside B206 a couple of days ago. I have yet to do any type of start up where the GPS is working. Iām on the latest version (1.97 having bought in 12/28) and have tried adding the PreFrame patch without effect. Nothing is allowing the GPS to power up. The fuze is in, the radios come on and display freqs. But no GPS. Tried cold and dark, Iāve tried powered up on the runway. No GPS. Iāve watch plenty of videos and seen others with the GPS powered on right awayā¦but not mine. I have the Working Title 430/530 Market Place GPS installed and am on the latest version of MSFS. I use Alpha and Bravo Yoke/Throttles and a X55 stick and Hotas as well. Already done one uninstall/reinstallā¦no change. Using the Flyinside Helisim Manager as well. Also own and have installed the B47. Any help would be appreciated.
Try deleting the b206 folder from your simulators app data folders. I forget the exact paths at the moment. That has cleared up some early issues I had with it.

Have you updated the Working Title GPS on the marketplace?? And make sure your GPS Circuit Breaker is pushed in on the overhead panel. Just in case!

To phobos8287 and RotorRick00. Thanks so much for the help. Deleting the two app data folder as in phobos8287ās post solved my issue. GPS 430 is now working. As I was working through this a new patch (FlyinsideB206_1.98) just came out. Ready to give that a shot and see whatās up.
Again thank you both for the quick assistance. Dean

Glad it worked! Those are good spots to check any time you have an issue with any addon. Itās fixed quite a few issues for me.

Anyway to have GPS not dependent on WT 430/540 install? That thing creates havoc with my other planes, and GTN750.
Anyway to use stock Asobo version? We only need the moving map, there is no autopilot features in Bell 206 anyway.

Oh man ā¦ I jumped into the Asobo 407 again, just to see how different it is after flying the 206 for two weeks straight. Wow ā¦ no comparison! Especially in slow flight and hovering.
So unfortunate to still see people questioning whether or not it makes sense to use a custom flight model instead of the Asobo one. The latter is a start and decent enough, but it still has a long way to go.
If only people could feel how much better the FlyInside 206 flight model is. Itās hard to convey in videos, because if you know how to fly both flight models, it may not look that different.
