Microsoft Bell 407 Helicopter - Official Buffalo Airways Virtual Substitute for the Bell 206B - C-GGRG
Built in 1976, the Bell 206B was used by the Buffalo School of Aviation when it was in operation. There is very little information about this aircraft available online. To my knowledge it is still housed in a Buffalo Airways hangar. However I have not been able to confirm that, nor do I know which location.
Having been in the Buffalo fleet, we at Buffalo Airways Virtual have built tours for the utilization of this bird. There are a number of flights in the schedule to take advantage of the 206B Jet Ranger III. The Bell 407, as noted, is an acceptable substitute for the 206B. It flies nice as it is, and there is a flight mod available from Flightsim.to. However that mod is no longer being monitored or updated as per the author.
Installation is simple:
Download the file from Flightsim.to. Inside the .zip folder is the yummy parts. Extract the file from the .zip folder to a location of your choice. Depending on the way you extract the file, you will either open that and copy and paste the main file into your community folder, or extract the main file directly into your community folder. Sorry if this sounds confusing, however, some people extract files to a folder such as their downloads folder (this is what I do to maintain control of all of my downloads). If you are like me, you know the main folder is inside that folder you extracted to your downloads folder. Some people extract the main folder directly. If that is what you do, paste it into the community folder. The file name you should be pasting into your community folder will read "CAR_bell407_C-GGRG"
