Bell 47

The freeware version is a good model. I also have the flysimware payware version. I like the payware version better. For one thing it has a MASH model.

FS Northwest-are they still going? has a freware FSX native model 47, in standard utility, float,and US Army Medievac. And the pilot is not a dwarf, and it easy to repaint. I thought FS Northwest was closing down, but I do have the models and some repaints done- RCN HTL-1(natch!) and 2 AAC machines. If FS Northwest is closed,we should make an effort to host the model here. Its quite nice- I thought it looked better than the payware model.

there was an update to the Flysimware model and it has a good looking (non dwarf) pilot now as well as a few other fixes.
 
Thanks for the responses.

I think I remember the FSNordic one, was talked about here for a while. I like the sound of good and free.
One of the conditions I've set myself for a return to fsx is no more payware. :)

I looked at the nor cal fsx mod but was not tempted - I am trying to stick real native Sp2 stuff - but thanks for the steer.

Is there a freeware version of this avail by Northwest? If so, where is the D/L link?

EDIT:

http://www.fsnorthwest.net/index.php/nw-downloads/viewdownload/4-aircraft/20-fsx-bell-47


above link was suppose to D/L the freeware version and it doesn't.
 
The Flysimware model lacks a good flight model and custom sound pack, which it should have considering that it is payware. The visual model is also inaccurate. Or at least does not appropriately represent a civilian model 47. Coming from a helicopter freak, it was a let down. Sadly, the FSNorthwest model is even more inaccurate, but comes at a great price - free.

Are you saying that the one with the Mash model is free? Where can I download this free version? All I get from Google is links to web sites that are dead.

I'm trying to find the freeware version and I think the company took it down when they did the same.
 
Yes, the FSNorthwest model was free. I think I have a copy of it somewhere, but in my searching online, I was unable to find a download. If you still cannot find a download, let me know and I will see if I can find it on my hard drive and send it to you.

I was digging through files looking for contact information for FS NW to ask permission to U/L to the SOH library-its a model worth preserving. The FSX Spartan and Howard are already hosted here, I cannot imagine that there should be a problem with that. Over all, its a pretty sweet model-heck; even the oil cooler fan is animated. Anyway, found some screen grabs.

I'll take you up on your offer. Thanks.

The freeware version is by Allen Richards (aka Mikrco) here on SOH. I have it on my hd, its a 36mb zip file (comes with the paint kits and gmax source file). I can send it off to a few people if needed, just pm me with your addy.
