I booked a charter flight for FSAirlines in the Bell 407 for X plane 11.5 by Dreamfoil. My FSAirlines client said I was in the wrong aircraft when I wasn't.
X-plane lists my ICAO code as B407.
I tried to attach a log file but apparently .txt exceptions aren't recognized here.

Re: Aircraft problem
It says the Bell 407 I am using has two engines. Apparently this will be an issue with all single engine helicopters from X plane. Plane maker has an engine 0 which has no data and all the data is in engine 1. Is anyone successfully using a single engine chopper from X plane in FSAirlines?

Re: Aircraft problem
Normally we have issues with weights, I have not seen a model maker putting in the wrong number of engines before. But I do have to admit, I am not a Helo pilot and am not an X-Plane pilot so I am not sure how they model a twin engine aircraft driving the same set of blades. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Re: Aircraft problem
Apparently twin engine choppers have no problem. I already use the AW-139 in X plane.
Single engine choppers with X plane 11
When I attempt to use the Dreamfoil Bell 407 with FSAirlines it fails because it is read as having two engines. Plane Maker seems to have an engine one with no data and an engine 2 where all the data is stored. Is anyone successfully using single engine choppers with FSAirlines on X plane 11.50?
Thanx in advance

I would contact Dreamfoil and ask them to fix it, or the aircraft your using is not really a 407, is a 427 instead? Everything I have read about the 407 is that it is a single engine aircraft.

The B407 in our database is currently powered by two piston engines.joefremont wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 12:24 am Everything I have read about the 407 is that it is a single engine aircraft.
