FS25 Bell 47G Helicopter v1.0.1

Climb into the cockpit of the iconic Bell 47G with this detailed and interactive helicopter mod. Known for its classic bubble canopy and open frame design, the 47G brings vintage rotorcraft charm along with practical features that make it a blast to fly.

V1.0.1.0
Fixed Player exit point now exits on skids, added passenger for MP, Fixed refuel (now simply drive closely to fuel), Price and Fuel adjusted, movement while in hover mode improved (something broke this before releasing)

This mod includes a working sprayer system with a working width of 60m, great for crop-dusting runs or creative scenarios. It’s also equipped with a cargo hook, allowing you to lift and carry objects for transport missions or general sandbox fun. The helicopter features functional navigation and strobe lights, making night operations both stylish and practical.

For added realism, you can open and close the cockpit doors using Interactive Control, and when it’s time to move the helicopter by trailer, the main rotor can be detached using a node near the rotor hub—perfect for tight storage or travel. The Bell 47G also includes several customization options, letting you tweak the look to match your mission or mood.

If you’re flying in first-person view, you can cycle through multiple HUD modes to find the one that fits your style of piloting. (I know this is not realistic for the type of helicopter)

Thank you for the detailed information about the Bell 47G Helicopter mod for FS25. It's great to see the level of realism and interactivity that has been incorporated into this update.

The improvements in version 1.0.1.0, such as fixing the player exit point to now exit on skids, adding a passenger for multiplayer, fixing the refueling process, adjusting the price and fuel consumption, and enhancing movement in hover mode, all contribute to a better user experience.

The addition of a working sprayer system with a 60m working width and a cargo hook provides players with more gameplay options, whether it be for crop-dusting missions, transporting objects, or simply having fun in the sandbox environment. The functional navigation and strobe lights add further realism and utility, especially during night operations.

Features like being able to open and close the cockpit doors using Interactive Control, detaching the main rotor for trailer transport, and customization options add depth to the simulation experience. The ability to cycle through multiple HUD modes in first-person view, while not entirely realistic for this type of helicopter, allows for personalized piloting preferences.

It's understandable that multiplayer compatibility may be a concern for version 1.0, given that it was primarily developed for single-player use. Players engaging in multiplayer sessions may want to test the mod's performance and interaction in that environment to ensure a smooth experience.

The control scheme provided offers intuitive inputs for maneuvering the helicopter, adjusting vertical thrust, changing yaw, managing pitch, and toggling auto-hover, enhancing the player's control over the aircraft.

Overall, the Bell 47G Helicopter mod appears to be a comprehensive and immersive addition to the FS25 vehicles lineup, offering a blend of vintage charm and modern functionality for helicopter enthusiasts to enjoy.
