Meet Bell Helicopter 47J Ranger
The Ranger brought a different appearance to the Bell 47 lineage. Its enclosed cabin and covered tail boom distinguish it from the exposed structure associated with the familiar 47G. It retained a single piston engine and a conventional main-rotor and tail-rotor arrangement.
Its history includes presidential transport, but its scale remains that of a light helicopter. The MSFS manual also documents a simulator convenience governor; that feature needs to be understood as part of the add-on, rather than silently attributed to the original aircraft.

The first-party Bell 47J guide describes use of the simulator's rotor model and optional assistance. Its convenience features belong to this implementation, which is distinct from FlyInside's Bell 47 package and its custom flight-model system.
