NEW - Flyinside Bell 206 for MSFS 2020 - First Flight (Rotor Textures Are NOT missing) 

The Bell 206 Jet Ranger from Cowansim for MFS2020 is out today ! Thx for ur video.

Completely agree with your assessment of the sim. I have flown in the real world Bell 206 and completely enjoyed the aircraft. I am still trying successfully control it in the sim. Your excellent information will surely help me with my endeavors. Thanks for the wonderful work. 👍

As always, very good video! My new PC has arrived! I'm playing X-Plane 12 with everything at maximum with a least 70 FPS, which is very good progress comparing to my old setup! And I just bought MSFS 2020 to check it out! Merry Christmas mate!

I agree it took some key binding to get things right to fly it . The odd thing I had to bind propeller increase axis and propeller decrease axis to the twist throttle get that function up to work. Over all Msfs has a long way before it becomes a true rotor aircraft simulator for starters make a true rotor profile for helicopters.

Rotor Texture is'nt missing. It's a standard Bell scheme so the disc is more visible due to strobing from above :) Below 22FPS is uncontrollable. Turn your settings down a bit.

Nerdy, do you ever fly the helos in DCS? (edit: Nvm, just read a comment of your DCS opinion below 😂) I just got into it and I like the flight model better than XP. There's a UH-60L mod which is free and DCS is free, so it'll just take a little time to download to try it. Just a heads up to a fellow helo driver 👍

Control lag must be a msfs thing some people have it like in the cabri. I have zero control lag issues. It’s seems to vary person to person. The sliding fix is in the latest update. As with the collective it’s really sensitive smaller movements than usual, but agree this could use a little tweaking. As for the FM from my experience irl in a 206 it’s really good, I just think even at 30fps it’s not really helping, cause as I said I have zero lag in my controls even at 80 sensitivity.

Is that an older gaming laptop? That fps is going to kill the experience. With Helis I prefer my fps to be at around 60. 45fps as the minimum with head tracking.

Hey Nerd: I guess you heard from Helisimmer, the CowanSimulation 500e is on the way to the Marketplace SOON!!! Awesome! Cant wait!

Great video with some useful information! I have it too, and I don't have any FPS issues in the sim. My software is up to date, and still, the inertia is way too huge, and the cyclic feels completely sluggish. I have serious troubles controlling this heli, especially during pickup and landing. I'll try 150 as cyclic sensitivity!

I found frame rate an issue with the FI 206, and I've got a fairly high end machine (5900X / RTX3080) running HDR at 3440*1440 with DLSS enabled. I did a comparison between the FI 206 and the HYPE H145 on Aogashima, a small island to the south of Tokyo which has a freeware helipad available. The H145 was usually around the low 60s or above, but the FI B206 had to be away from the ground before it would pick up that sort of frame rate. On takeoff and around the ground, it was down sub-30 often. I did this side-by-side because I tried flying the 206 out of Tokyo Heliport the other day and found the frame rate to be dreadful even in flight (maxing out around 30) due to the objects around Tokyo. I just bought the CowanSim 206, I'll be curious to see how that handles in comparison. Given it's not running a 3rd-party software manager like Flyinside, I would expect it to be considerably better. For the record, I've flown the Flyinside 47 around the same site without issue.

FlyInside's new way to induce stuttering with your CPU. ;)

Hey Nerdy, did you recently try the updated version of the Flyinside 206?

Thanks for the review, btw if you have the chance to try the Cowan Sim Bell 206, can you please check if it simulate the semi-rigid rotor. Because Cowan said it would use the asobo CFD simulation, but as of right now this CFD only simulate rigid rotors.

How can you fly that at lower than 20fps? You need a new CPU, and GPU - I couldn't fly anything with a refresh rate as low as you have.

Okay, can we expect the comparison against the Cowansim in about an hour? No pressure :-D on a side note I see the Cowansim minimum requirements are GTX970 + i5 should be an interesting comparison on the frame rates between them :-)

Looking for some advice and guidance with respect to sim helicopters. IRL I have experience with Cessnas and have spent a enough time with RC choppers to not crash. Sim wise I only starting trying to fly helicopters. Using an X-55 for controllers. I have a Logitech 3d Pro that currently has the spring removed. I am doing okay as far as not losing a lot of control like I did a few weeks ago. Hovering is passable but not much beyond that. I think my bottleneck is with the cyclic control. Any easy solutions for getting more precise control? Would be happy to chat with some knowledgeable folks via email or Discord to speed up the learning curve. I have MSFS, XP11 and DCS helicopters.

This is an urgent SOS, please!! Could anyone explain to me how it is that graphic settings on my MSFS always reset to what was there ever since I installed the RTX3080Ti. There appears to be some preconfigured graphic settings that never go away unless I set them everytime I log into the Sim. When I log off, they revert. Any help will be hugely appreciated, please!!

Hey mate, how have you been? Did you stop making videos? I miss your nice videos!

Does it feel more realistic than the huey in dcs?

What joystick do you use?

It's time for a laptop upgrade or desktop upgrade.

Any control lag in a helicopter on a sim is unacceptable. Period.

this seems abysmal

Um...no thanks.
