If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

That sign change is not in your new update, but I still need it or I get perpetual Segfault.

@bomber

I tested it.

She is a kind well-manered helicopter.
(hard to say those words, as rotatories are always temperamental -- like a basketball spinning on the finger tip)

However, she is very maneuverable. The ceiling of 10Kft still ok. Hover mode is actually softer in this version, too

Here is my test-flight

If you press the WEP key e, you'll go a lot higher than 10kft

I modified the rotors off control system to make it less stressful on the pilot... Just find a place to land and point her in that direction...

As I said at the start.... It wouldn't get much use due to the prevailing politics in FG...

Shame though that no one cares to mention that an alternative JSBsim helicopter exists.

The price of being banned I guess..
