The iconic JetRanger made its first flight on December 8th 1962, and was released to commercial operators on January 10th 1966. The final 206 B3 was introduced in 1977 and produced until 2010, with running changes over its lifespan, and variants built under license in many countries. The helicopter has served in a number of capacities, notably news coverage, tourism, agricultural spraying and exploration, and commercial support of industries such as petroleum production. The JetRanger III is a true standout among the renowned and extensive family of 206 aircraft. A rugged utility machine at its core, pilots are treated to an exceptionally robust aircraft, precise in its controls, and legendary reliability. With an exemplary record, the 206 fleet has accumulated over 38 million flight hours.

The most realistic turbine helicopter experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator, the FlyInside B-206 features completely custom flight dynamics that are sure to challenge you. Thanks to our built-in configuration screen, the 206 can be tuned to fly as easily or as realistically as you'd like, on the fly.

Features:

• Revolutionary and realistic flight model, developed and tested by an experienced 206 pilot/owner
• Do full touchdown autorotations, hovering autos, run on landings... If you can do it in the real 206, you can do it here. All faithfully recreated.
• Full helicopter flight physics including effective translational lift, ground effect, transverse flow, flap-back, auto-rotation, and more
• Includes failures and dangerous regions of the flight envelope including vortex ring state, hot starts, engine failure, and retreating blade stall
• Extremely detailed 3D model with high quality PBR textures and animated drive and control systems
• All flight control systems animated. Main Rotor, Tail Rotor, and Swashplate just to name a few.
