This model is based on Bill Lyons (billy@sedona.net) jet ranger news AFX files.( THANK YOU BILL FOR THE FLIGHT MODEL TO WORK WITH)
Additional copters can be found at Keith's Virtual Helipad,
( http://members.aol.com/keitht777/helipad.htm), this is great site for helos and lighter-than-air. Another great site is (http://www.flightsim.com).
I made a few modifications to the original file to make it closer to Chopper13, One of the big changes was to move the pilot and view to the right seat, this is the correct position for helo pilots.
CHOPPER13 is the name for the aircraft that is used by Channel 13, KOLD-TV in Tucson, Arizona.
Installation: .air files to pilots dir.
.**f files to texture.
Flying: Lift off using F8 as full collective. Switch to F7 to ascend or slow fly. Switch to F6 for slow cursing around the local area.
Go to F5 for cross country flying at high speed (some down trim
may be required). To descend, reverse the process using F8 for the
final touch down. This model will not hover but can fly very slow
and be able to make spot landings. When flying a helicopter in FS
increase the rudder sensitivity in the preference menu.
Final instructions: The only advice that I can give is to Practice and then
practice some more. Using the Tower mode and fly ala RC, can and is a lot of fun.
Options: Strobe light - "O"
Night lights - "L"
Landing lights(FS6 only) - "CTRL-L"
General: I hope that you enjoy flying and the looks of this model.
I would enjoy hearing any comments about CHOPPER13 that you would have.
