How to install this mod

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.

Much of this is great. The sound!! Awesome. The one thing coming over the trees to drop and swap!! always was and is an "Angel of Mercy." However, I find that when I switch views to external, I get the sound of turbines firing up, and the rotor speed does not match?

I downloaded the model and I figure: let's make it work! Drop it straight into the default Friday Harbor. Like most mod vids I have seen, something will or won't agree.

This is not a criticism, just an observation. This is 2023 and most posts range from 2009 to 2019 on this "Whirly Bird".

    Great Bird, I must admit I suck at flying the Helis in FSX but this huey is actually pretty easy to handle.

    Awesome job, thanks very much for sharing this. Only slight negative is, as Lynce mentions, the repeated start up sound effect every few seconds. Other than that as close to perfect as you could possibly hope for. Thanks again.

    With FSX I can't start it. With Ctrl+E start Master and avionics only.

    Great. May have a problem with sound on the outside view (fly-by plane) because it sound like when you star engine several times, and on, and on... ... but the textures are amazing; always fun fly a Huey ;) Great job!

    My favorite heli download so far due to ease of install and no problems with VC. Very cool addition of gunners and co-pilot. Good job.
