[INTRODUCTION]
This is the Falcon twin turbine ultra high end biz helo designed for the executive market.  Have you ever wondered what a business helo would look like years from now, and what features it would incorporate?  This is a concept I have been working on for some time now.  In theory, it is designed with a double mounting system for the maint rotor to cancel out rotor 'hop'.  You will also note the newer generation main rotor blades that incorporate higher efficiency in flight characteristics as well as lower noise and more durable composite construction techniques.  This ship is also equiped with a NOTAR jet-managed tail system which utilises the channeled twin turbines exhaust for manuvering with yaw/rudder controls.  Also featured is the incorporation of furniture within the cabin including two walls for seperate meeting rooms as well as the cockpit in front.  

This is designed to be the Lear Jet of Helo's, the best you could buy, a jet you can land on a building and have the creature comforts of a top of the line biz-jet.

This model features opening doors, dynamic shine and reflection textures in 3 colors, retracting landing gear.  When you open the doors, the inner doors open also.  Modeled in Gmax by William Ortis, Lionheart Creations Ltd.  Important; Read the ReadMe file.  

Welcome to my world.

[INSTALLATION]
Scan your zipped folder with an anti virus program.
Unzip your download into a temporary holding folder.
Copy/Paste or Drag/Drop your Falcon Aircraft folder into the main Aircraft folder in FS2004 or FS9.  
You are ready to fly.  

[PANEL]
My apologies, as I have not designed a panel for this helo as of yet.  I welcome input on one.  I would like to see one that is very modern featuring glass panels as well as a new form of helo controls that dont require two hands, such as a joystick or the like.  Its time to get a little modern with the helicopter.  Lets make Igore proud.  I should also say that there are some very awesome helo panels out there that are easy enough to install for this helicopter.  My design uses a single panel from right to left.  The one in the FS model uses the little instruments pod from a Bell.  I find it difficult to see around and depress W to minimise instrumentation and maximise view.

[PASSENGER DOORS AND INTERIOR DOORS]
The Doors are opened with Shift/E,  They are gull wing for the effort of incorporating safety.  Though designed with a moderately high rotor tower, the doors help you guage the height of the blades.  If you look within the interior of the Falcon, you will notice that two other doors open as well at the same time.  Just as well, the furniture is lit with internal lighting at night with Nav lights 'on'.  Then, it is a little easier to see the furniture and burled wood trim.  

[ABOUT MYSELF]
I am a former car designer, product designer, and artist with a massive enthusiasm for flying, and aircraft design.  I reside in Phoenix Arizona and hope to one day get my private pilots license.  It was my hopes that Microsoft would have come out with some interesting furturistic aircraft designs with the newest Flight Simulator.  Perhaps that might  happen with the next version of simulator.  I have a website that features alot of my sim aircraft I have done in the past as well as some projects I have worked on and 'in progress' as well; www.lionheartcreations.com Navigate to the FS page.

I recently got back into flying after having read a set of books given to me for Christmas called the Left Behind series.  They have renewed my spirit to fly as well as curving my design field towards aircraft and aerospace.  I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed those books.  If you read and are into flying, you might wish to check them out.

[ONLINE FLYING]
I would like to introduce you to the possiblities of online flying in a professional community of flight enthusiasts if you are not already.  This organised and free group that is international is called VATSIM, (Virtual Air Traffic Control).  You can find the proper programs you need to download at their site:  www.vatsim.net  where in you can then begin flying with live Air Traffic Control as well as with other pilots that are flying from their desk tops world wide, passing them visibly.  I myself was recently in a VATSIM flight where 40 other pilots were with me in traffic in Los Angeles airspace.  If you would like to bump up your training and share the fun with others, join up with VATSIM and start flying online.


If you have any input or you are having any problems with installing this plane, please email me and I will try to help out as much as possible.  My email address is william@lionheartcreations.com  As for flying a helicopter, I cannot help you much.  I am better off with flying a Seruphum Delta Quad, or a Lear or Dassault Falcon.

I hope you enjoy flying this helo.  I only wish it were a better quality model as I have just learned Gmax.  This model was tested on a P4 computer and functioned well.  I cannot be held responsible for anything that might occur to your computer when flying this airplane.
