The high-performance member of the Ecureuil family, the AS350 B3+ outclasses all other single
engine helicopters for performance, versatility, safety and competitive acquisition & maintenance
costs. It excels in hot conditions and very high altitudes, and broke records when a standard
production aircraft landed on the top of Mount Everest in 2005 (altitude: 29,029 ft / 8,848 m).

Installation
The installation is fairly simple, as is any aircraft for X-Plane.
Extract / Copy all content from the downloaded file to your desired folder,
for example: Aircraft/Helicopters/AS350B3+

DO NOT MOVE ANY FILES FROM THE AIRCRAFT FOLDER, PLUGINS

SHOULD STAY IN THE AS350 PLUGINS FOLDER!

Requires X-Plane 10.20+ in order to run properly, X-Plane is software in constant

development and we can't guarantee that all systems will run in newer versions of X-Plane,
so please make a backup of your oldest working version, before upgrading X-Plane.

WARN I N G FOR WI N DOWS U SERS.

The DreamEngine requires Open-AL drivers to be installed on your computer in order to
run on Windows. The latest version of drivers can be found on link below:
http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal

Performance
This helicopter features a highly detailed 3D model and greatly improved
technology. It´s important to bear in mind that this aircraft will place greater
demands on your hardware than default aircraft.

To achieve greater FPS (frames per second), you can disable HDR Rendering in
Rendering Options, this will dramatically improve your fps.

Minimal System Requirements

A Core Duo 2Ghz processor +
1.0 GB RAM
A Geforce 8800gtx or equivalent
120 MB hard drive space

Helicopter Controls
Cyclic
Cyclic
The Cyclic is used to control helicopter attitude, moving it forward will pitch
the nose down, moving aft will pitch it up. Move it left to roll aircraft to the left
and right to roll to the right.

Remember that all cyclic inputs should be done smoothly, large and aggressive
movements are not necessary!

Pedals
Pedals
The pedals are used mainly to counteract the torque produced by the main
rotor, but they are also used to maintain heading whilst at low speeds.

Collective &
Collective & Twist
Twist Throttle
Throttle
The collective is used to collectively change the pitch of main rotor blades,
thus increasing lift. It´s used to change the helicopter altitude. However you
must remember to keep torque, T4 and NG within limits, as shown on the
VEMD.

The twist throttle on the collective lever is used to switch between Idle and
Flight. This sets the Main Rotor (NR) RPM for each position, and the RPM is
then maintained automatically by the FADEC.

Cyclic Trim
Cyclic Trim
The AS350 B3+ is equipped with a cyclic trim system.

It works like a re-centering system, you must assign the command

'AS350/Trim/Force_Trim' to a joystick button, then once you press and hold
the button you can move the cyclic back to center and release the button.
While moving with force_trim pressed, the swashplate will not move, allowing
the re-positioning of the cyclic without affecting aircraft attitude.

To reset the trim system the command AS350/Trim/Trim_Release is available,

just press this command and it will automatically set Pitch and Roll trims to
center position removing any offset, be careful while using this inflight.

Commands available for Trim

AS350/Trim/Force_Trim – Force Trim to new position
AS350/Trim/Trim_Release – Release/Recenter Trim
AS350/Trim/Roll_Toggle - Enable/Disable Roll Trim
AS350/Trim/Pitch_Toggle - Enable/Disable Pitch Trim
AS350/Trim/Left_Trim - Trim to Left

The maximum RPM speed for the rotor brake is 170 RPM in heavy winds
(140 in light), with at least 5 minutes between actuations.

Monitoring Display
Display
VEMD is a monitoring system included in a variety of Eurocopter models such
as the: EC120, B2, B3, B3+, B3e, EC135 and several others.

The VEMD displays information directly onto the screen.

Important information is grouped together, which makes it easier for the pilot
to keep an eye on engine parameters, making sure they´re within limits, this
greatly reduces the pilots workload.

Some versions of the AS350 B3+ are equipped with a FLIR camera. This
instrument uses the X-Plane night vision camera. Be aware that this default Pitch
camera is very demanding on hardware and will affect your FPS greatly, this
means that when you activate it you´ll probably see a considerable drop in
simulator performance.

hovering, just enable the function and the helicopter will self correct.

- Helicopter flying ins't for you? Enable it and then you should be able to
fly the helicopter easily without worrying about trying to stabilize it, just
centre your cyclic and it will stabilize the helicopter.

- Hold mode while flying, you can assign it to a button and enable in flight
to prevent helicopter getting out of its flight attitude, you´ll then be able
to set up the GPS or other instruments.
