Cowan Simulation – Bell 206B3 v2.0.0

Changelog
v2.0.0:
• A new manual was included, and the online version can be found at https://cowansim.com/manuals-checklists/. Please read it! 90% of questions can be answered and that saves us time. If something does not work right now, there is a reason it doesn’t work. It’s either FPS related or simply not possible right now.
• All hardware bindings are fixed, and several were added. See the manual to learn how to map them all.
• Some important ones added:
• Throttle (see manual)
• Idle stop (see manual)
• Search light (see manual)
• Increased the range of motion for the search light. Left/Right/Up/Down
• Enhanced the search light beam intensity, cone, and range.
• Search light changed to “taxi” light to separate binding from landing lights.
• Changed pilot/passenger weights for visibility to 170 lbs.
• The G3X glass panel was added as an option.

• Persistence code was added to save your weight and balance, and options configuration after shutting down. So, when you load your next flight all your settings will be the same as your last flight.

Description
CowanSim flight models are pilot tested, approved and developed with the Microsoft Flight Simulator SDK. No external flight model/dynamics or programs are used to provide a seamless user experience.

The throttle and idle stop on this model can be mapped to your hardware. All other bindings are functional as well. This helicopter uses persistence code to save your weight and balance settings, as well as all visible options/models, for your next flight. Please read the manual that comes with this helicopter, it will answer a lot of your questions and has a clear explanation for all hardware bindings. The manual is located inside of the package folder.

Options like the Cineflex camera, passengers, spray kit, spotlight and more are available through the weight and balance settings window. Your settings will be saved for your next flight.
