Hi, this might be a stupid question but is the cockpit really accurate or is it a bit simplified? When looking at old pictures of the real B47 the cockpit is never the same, but there are technically always the same switches. Some of these switches, like the ones for the Hydraulics or the Intercom seem to be missing in the sim model. Also, as there is no govenor in the real Helicopter why is there a switch on the collectiv? I’m really no criticizing, just wondering. Altersbegrenzung ---

Hydraulics were in later models. Every single Bell 47 is different, there are so many different and personal variations we went for almost “factory” fresh as such, she is from the 60’s and has a standard panel. As for the govenor, we added a switch to aid with flying for the wide variety of skill levels our hobby has, turn it off, ignore it and fly with throttle, its a handful. 😉 Hope that helps ? Tony ---

That definitly did help. Sounds like a great approach to development. Thank you for the quick response and an awesome MSFS Addon. Altersbegrenzung ---

Pretty sure there should be hydraulics on the G’s (It _is_ the later variant). I have flown it without hydraulics and it’s not a lot of fun. (But still not as hard as this sim model). ---

Bell 47G-2A1 This is the first helicopter in the Model 47 Series designed for extended flight range. It is equipped with 61- gallon fuel tanks, extended center frame, relocated oil tank, -21 or -23 metal blades, a wide cabin to better handle two passengers and pilot, and a longer overall length. It uses the Lycoming 260HP VO-435-A1D engine. The G-2A1 was originally manufactured with the standard square landing gear configuration. The standard rotor blades were the -21s, but -23s could be used. Both versions are identical, the exception being that the -23s are fitted with nine-pound weights in the blade tips for increase inertia. If installed, the helicopter required an upgrade to add hydraulic boost to the collective. This was needed due to the additional weight of the blade tips and to ease pilot workload when pulling pitch. Tony ---

Erhh, the _cyclic_ has hydraulics. ![](https://blade7.starweb.net/uploads/default/original/1X/a8c05414c2ceffe757bf02b276a5906d01debd18.jpeg)
