[MSFS2024] Bell 407

And do you find the flight model realistic?

Or the windshield realistic? And I assume you can start from cold and dark (last time I bothered it couldn’t – FS24). I did however notice that the absurd speed deficit had more or less been updated since the embarrassing release in FS20. And because of these absurdities I am not likely to even consider anything else from Nemeth.

Want a vaguely realistic helicopter experience? Get a Taog’s Hangar helicopter.

Love flying the 407 but there are a couple of irritants:

  1. Birdcrap on the windscreen
  2. Doesn’t feel quite right in ground effect on landing

Fix those and it would be perfect!

Only a pilot who has a direct comparison can realy say that… the model suits me very well… My absolute cruiser champ :wink:

Enjoy it all you like. Happy for you that you can enjoy the little fantasy world where helis behave like that.

Do you have any arguments? Or what exactly did you want to say?

Same for me. The cold and dark starting procedure just doesn’t work.

Hello, is there any way to disable the dirts on the cockpit window? They are way way too much and distracting.

No… that was probably the only change made to the Bell :laughing:… But we can complain… https://x.com/nemethdesigns

How do you open the doors on this helicopter or are they not implemented into the game?

That beams one into the cockpit, yes. However I think the question was if you can open the doors (plural), so the answer is: no. They are currently not modeled.

I can’t get this helicopter started, neither the checklist or autostart work.

Does this SU 2 Beta fix it?

I’m checking it right now. Will edit this with the results…
Nope, still broken. :frowning:

Hola, para mi me resulta comodo manejar el 407, solo me gustaria que este se agregara al modo carrera para tener mas opciones, puesto que perfectamente se puede utilizar en el modo transporte de viajeros, vuelo escenico. Gracias

Moderator Edit: Hello, for me it is comfortable to drive the 407, I would just like it to be added to the career mode to have more options, since it can perfectly be used in the passenger transport mode, scenic flight. Thank you

No copilot avatar option, no passenger avatar. Please add them.

This is by far the worst aircraft in the entire MFS24 native collection. How Nemeth Designs just decided to slap this in the finished pile really speaks to them as a company!

The folks at Echo19 aren’t gonna like hearing that. Custom sound pack out any day now.

How is it now, has the startup sequence been fixed?

Hoping that the Sim Focus guys can come in and save the 407 like they improved the FS20 version.

Until then, I’ve seen some improvements on SU3. Hopefully, we get more fixes. It’s definitely in need of some TLC.
