The guide describes Heli Manager inside the cockpit for the Marketplace edition and as a separate application for the website edition. The configuration features are otherwise shared. A switch on the panel reopens the in-cockpit manager after it has been dismissed.

B-47 · FlyInside · MSFS 2020
FlyInside describes a custom helicopter flight model, manual piston-engine throttle control and an optional governor for the Bell 47. The published feature list includes autorotation, vortex-ring state and retreating-blade stall. These are developer-described features; they are not an independent assessment of physical fidelity.

B-47 · FlyInside · MSFS 2020
The Bell 47 v2.92 update, dated 19 August 2025, lists work for MSFS 2024 and added force-feedback/motion telemetry support. This establishes a published change for that release. It does not, by itself, specify every output field or prove compatibility with a particular external application.

B-47 · FlyInside · MSFS 2020
FlyInside's Heli Manager offers settings for cyclic sensitivity, stability, realism and engine-failure behaviour. These are add-on configuration controls, not original Bell cockpit equipment. The guide explains their relationship to the simulator's own axis settings.

B-47G-2A1 · FlyInside · X-Plane 11
The developer records the initial X-Plane 11 release as v1.56 in December 2021. The v1.71 entry adds Mac and Linux support and replay support; its displayed date precedes older entries, so it is not used to establish release chronology.

B-47G-2A1 · FlyInside · X-Plane 11
Heli Manager opens from the B-47-G2 menu inside X-Plane. Its Flight Model tab offers Easy, Medium and Realistic settings, plus an optional governor. These are developer-described assistance choices, without an independent fidelity claim.

B-47G-2A1 · FlyInside · X-Plane 11
The guide assigns collective to the Throttle or Collective axis. With the governor disabled, manual engine throttle uses Throttle 1 Axis. These are the X-Plane assignments; the MSFS edition has its own control instructions.

The Bell 47 developed from Arthur Young's early rotorcraft work and received civil certification in 1946. A single piston engine and two-bladed rotor powered a compact aircraft that found training, observation and utility roles. Many versions and licensed developments followed.
The familiar 47G and enclosed-cabin 47J have visibly different configurations. Their seating and equipment should remain distinct. The simulator developer's model designation and documentation establish which member of this large historical family is represented.
