HeliForce is a software utility that augments Microsoft Flight Simulator’s helicopter flight modelling to improve existing or add new flight dynamics qualities.
HeliForce runs in conjunction with Microsoft Flight Simulator and using a third-party interfacing library is able to communicate with the simulator at run-time, reading values,modifying them and then writing them back. This technique allows HeliForce to constantly adjust the flying qualities of a simulated helicopter by monitoring the helicopter’s systems, the environment and the pilot’s inputs,making changes according to mathematics based upon established helicopter flight dynamics properties.
HeliForce is calibrated with default values designed to augment a standard Flight Simulator helicopter, such as the Bell 206 Jet Ranger or Robinson R-22, with a roughly representative set of additional behaviours. Adjusting any of the parameters allows the simulator pilot to tweak the behaviours to better suit a particular helicopter type.
