NEWS! - Bell 412 now fully X-Plane 12 compatible by X-Trident

 

B412 XP12 update News! header.jpg

 

When X-Plane 12 went to beta (Sept 2022), X-Trident put out a patch to allow you to fly the Bell 512 in the new Simulator version. It was just a patch mind you, not an X-Plane 12 compatible aircraft.

 

Here is v5.0. And with this version release you now get full compatibility with X-Plane 12 (now final, but that is actually debatable?). In others words, one of the very best helicopters for the X-Plane Simulator is now X-Plane 12 updated and compliant.

 

The Bell 412 is a utility helicopter of the Huey family manufactured by Bell Helicopter. It is a development of the Bell 212, with the major difference being the composite four-blade main rotor.

 

The v5.0 update covers the full compatibility with X-Plane 12, with the added rain (Librain) and wipers effects. A new feature is the added weight sliders for every transportable item (pilots, crew, cargo).

 

Feature list is excellent;

  • Full compatibility with X-Plane 12 (and X-Plane 11)
  • Rain and wipers effects (XP12)
  • Weight sliders for every transportable item (pilots, crew, cargo) 
  • Highly detailed 3d model and 3d cockpit. Most switches operable
  • Detailed rotor kinematic modeling
  • Detailed lights
  • Close to real fuel, hydraulic and electrical systems; start-up sequence follows the real checklist almost line by line
  • Custom failures
  • Working custom auxiliary tank and water drop system
  • Working dolly pad for precision landing
  • Custom warning panel
  • Custom governor
  • Custom artificial stability
  • Custom 4 channels autopilot with over 10 modes
  • Flight model approved and tweaked by real pilots
  • Hyper detailed rotor with all its levers moving ud and down,
  • Custom GPU
  • Custom Remove Before Flight with dangling flags (with FOD)
  • ADF with bank error
  • Working doors with changing sound volume effect
  • Many liveries plus a paint kit; smart configuration of optional objects attached to each livery
  • Plugin for Windows, Mac and Linux  - detailed custom menu
  • Includes a licensed version of Dreamfoil's Geforce plugin
  • Working NIGHTSUN Spotlight
  • Working FLIR Camera
  • Custom Winch and SAR operations

Has anyone tried a night flight with this new version?

I would like to know if I am the only one experiencing dashboard display problems.

Yes, the rain is there, yes the windshield wipers are functional and effective, but no more way to add the Swisscreations soundpack. I hope they will offer us an XP12 update too.

I'm currently i'm not to thrilled with the X-Plane 12 nightlighting, certainly where bad/dark cockpits are concerned, I don't think any developer is going to touch this aspect until it has been resolved by Laminar Research...
