Bell 47G and MSFS 2024

Tech Support
1

Hi together,
I installed the heli (latest download) in the MSFS24 community folder without problems.
After that I found the Bell with running engine on ground. It was recognised by Helimanager correctly. But:

  • neither an input by mouse or mouseclick
  • nor any instruments shows an effect, also during “flight”
  • Collective and pedals…works corrextly.
    Whats wrong???

That version will fly fine (the FM works great) but much of the animation isn’t working in 2024. The update, which is being tested now should fix all of that. Later on we will be doing a bespoke full art and systems update for 2024 that will add many new 2024 specific features. Stay Tuned!

I’m not that lucky. I did find the 47 under aircraft, but the controls are locked and the screen tells me to run helimanager. It’s fine on 2020 but no joy in 2024.

I lucked out. The update gave me many things, including the ability to use heli manager.

It’s all good now.

YES! the Bell 47 and the 206 Now work in MSFS2024. We will be releasing an update for 2020 that adds some new art and features in preparation for completely bespoke versions of all our aircraft for MSFS 2024 that will include 2024 specific features and take advantage of some new visual tweaks.

Stay Tuned!

When I enabled the 2020 Bell 47 in MSFS 2024, like the OP, I have a helicopter sitting on the ramp with the rotor spinning. However, because the sim sees the Bell 47 as an Airplane Object instead of a Helicopter Object, I’m unable to map any helicopter specific controls (Cyclic, Collective, etc) to my peripherals so on the ramp we sit. FWIW I purchased the Bell 47 via Steam. Suggestions welcomed.

That is an Asobo issue. Just use Airplane control Aileron/Elevator and Rudder. For Collective Throttle 1 and for Twist grip throttle use Prop 1

This is covered in the Manuals. Use the links on our website where the Updates are for current manuals.

Thanks,

Thanks Rick - My bindings worked great in 2020. I’m contemplating a purchase IRL and have really enjoyed getting to know the Bell 47 thru FlyInside’s detailed modeling. I’ll give your recommended setting a shot tomorrow and report back here.
