Page 12: Flight Controls Setup
3. Flight Controls Setup The FlyInside Bell 47G should work with your standard Microsoft Flight Simulator control bindings. At a minimum you’ll need the following controls 1. Bind the joystick axis you’d like to use for cyclic roll (left/right) control to the MSFS “Ailerons Axis”... - Page 13 For realistic control response, you’ll want to ensure that MSFS “Sensitivity” is set to 0%, ‘Dead Zone’ 0%, ‘Neutral’ 0%, ‘Extremity Dead Zone’ 0%, and ‘Reactivity’100%, for all axis. Manual Throttle Control In real life, the Bell 47G doesn’t have an engine governor. The pilot needs to manually control the engine’s power level using a twist grip on their collective.

Page 15: Flight Model Options
4. Flight Model Options The FlyInside Bell 47G supports multiple realism levels and options to suit your control setup and skill level. To configure these, run FlyInside Heli Manager, and go to the Flight Model tab. “Enable Engine Governor” allows you to switch the included engine governor on and off. - Page 16 In addition, you can scroll down to customize the difficulty level. The Bell 47G engine has limited power, and if you pull full collective or abuse it, it can seize and fail. Turning off “Enable Engine Failures” will allow you to climb using your full control range without risking engine failure.
- Page 17 Tail Stability determines whether the helicopter is at the mercy of torque effects. In Realistic, if you pull in more collective, your heli will spin opposite the direction of rotation, and you’ll need to compensate for this with the anti-torque pedals. As you turn up tail stability, this becomes less and less prominent.

Page 24: Common Issues
8. Common Issues 1. My engine quit in flight The engine will unexpectedly quit in flight for two main reasons. First, if you are pulling too much power and keeping manifold pressure above red-line, the engine can fail and quit. Secondly, if you run out of fuel (check your fuel gauge), the engine will quit. - Page 25 Thank You Thank you for reading, we hope you enjoy the FlyInside Bell 47G!
