This helicopter has now been released, but work continues to get the animations to work in the virtual cockpit. Enjoy

Very nice! - any chance of a download link?

I checked their Facebook page and despite it also showing that it's available I found no way to get to it. The website shows various helicopters but the MD500 isn't even listed. Hopefully he (George) or someone else who has a link will post it.

The file has been uploaded to avsim. The website hasn't been updated, the info was posted on Facebook.

FSX. No power on the engine, only a lot of smoke

FSX. No power on the engine, only a lot of smoke

Made this change in the aircraft.cfg:

[GeneralEngineData]
//0=Piston, 1=Jet, 2=None, 3=Helo-Turbine, 4=Rocket, 5=Turboprop
engine_type = 3 <-------------------------This one! it was 5 to begin with
fuel_flow_scalar = 0.325
engine.0 = -6.870, 0.000, 0.000
engine.1 = -6.870, 0.000, 0.000
engine.2 = -6.870, 0.000, 0.000
min_throttle_limit=0.00000
max_contrail_temperature=-42.0

Made this change in the aircraft.cfg:

Thank you very much MrZippy. That was the solution ( and you have to change this in all the models). Now we will waiting till all the instruments will work.

I have adjusted the contact points of the MD500D Floats version so it sits a little more comfortably on land and water:

If you feel you need this adjustment, just overwrite the relevant 'contact points' section in the aircraft.cfg with the lines below:

[contact_points]
point.0= 3.000, 6.560, 3.440, -5.80, 1574.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.400, 2.500, 0.820, 0.000, 0.000, 8.000, 0.000, 0.000
