Wellcome to the FSHELI.CH Sud Aviation Alouette II für FS2004 Author’s foreword Hello, my name is Peter Salzgeber. My goal was not only to build a realistic helicopter for Microsoft Flight simulator, but also a helicopter that allows for flight-action in typical missions for this aircraft. With the Sud Aviation SA315B Lama I have produced an Add-On for Microsoft Flight-Simulator, to do that. Now I will present an other helicopter classic to you: the S.N.C.A.S.E. SE3130 Alouette II, the first turbine-powered helicopter on the world! This aircraft is the grandma of the Lama. Thanks to you to the help of some helicopter companies, Pilots und Engineers that gave me most useful hints about the Helicopter, I finally was able to build this Alouette II, which works as realistic as possible within the given limits of Microsoft Flight-simulator, which – unfortunately – makes a 100% realistic rendition of a helicopter impossible at the present stage. However, I am pretty sure you still will like the result… if you read this manual first!

The history from the S.N.C.A.S.E. SE3130 just to the SA318C Alouette II ASTAZOU The S.N.C.A.S.E.* SE3130 Alouette II is the first turbine-powered helicopter on the world. The first flight was at March 12 1955 in Buc (F), commanded by works-pilot Jean Boulet, responsible for different world records: the altitude-world-record from June 6 1955 of 8209 Meters with the SE3130 s/n 002 and so the altitude-world-record of 10984 Meters at June 13 1958. This record was be flown with the prototype s/n. 002 of the S.N.C.A.S.E. SE3150 Alouette II, an Alouette II with the dynamic components of the Alouette III (main-rotor, tail-rotor, engine and gearbox). Out of this prototype is born the SA 315B Lama. With this aircraft, Jean Boulet gets the today valid (!) altitude-world-record of 12442 Meters at June 12 1972. From the type SE3130 / SA313B, powered with a Turbomeca Artouste IIC turbine, totally 923 pieces are leaving the production belts. From the type SA 318C, powered with the more powerfully but economic Turbomeca Astazou II engine, starting in 1961, 382 pieces was produced. The production stops in 1975. Today its not possible to say, how many aircraft of which type is remaining in operation. Many Alouette II are converted into SA 315B Lama and are still working around the whole world. * S.N.C.A.S.E.= Abbreviation for: Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Sud Est, this company is since 1957 part of Sud Aviation, which is renamed 1970 to Aerospatiale and today part of Eurocopter. So the different typenames are declared: SE=Sud Est, SA=Sud Aviation, AS=Aerospatiale and EC=Eurocopter. Below you will fin a table with all 32 aircraft of this package, also the prototypes s/n 001 of the SNCASE SE3130 and both, -the s/n 001 and the s/n 002- of the SNCASE SE3150. At the bottom you will find the data-sheet from the Alouette II and for comparison the specs of the Lama. At the end of this document, I have placed many links to very good websites containing history, photos etc. of the Alouette II. If you are familiar with my Aerospatiale Lama V4.0, you will be also familiar with the Alouette II. But please: READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY! And now: HAPPY LANDINGS!

Before we start … the Installation Close all other applications before starting the installation. Take care, that your hard disc is not too fragmented, as this can cause problems during installation. In Windows 98/ME/ or Windows NT4.0/2000 or Windows XP, the LAMA- setup will start automatically, as long as you have not disabled the auto run-function of Windows. When using Windows XP please make sure, that you are registered as Administrator. After installation has started, please follow the instructions on the screen. All files needed will then be installed to the appropriate directories.

The FSHeli.ch Alouette II Configurator The FSHeli.ch Alouette II configurator will open after the installer is running. You can also open the FSHeli.ch Alouette II Configurator using the Short-cut on the desktop, to change the configurations every time. Load first an other aircraft or close Microsoft® Flight Simulator® FS2004 Suggested settings: if you are familiar with using advanced helicopters in Microsoft® Flight Simulator® FS2004, choose the “Advanced”-setting. If you use the first time an advanced helicopters in Microsoft® Flight Simulator® FS2004, choose the “Beginner”setting. This setting corresponds to the default Bell Jet Ranger. More Suggested settings in the Manual.

Before we fly… … suggested settings

To give your Alouette II the most real flight dynamics and make it function optimal, we recommend the following settings: The Realism setting in the Menu “Aircraft”set the settings almost all the way down between low and middle. In the Menu Options – Display – Aircraft, set the reflections on, so the glass cockpit will glow and make it look more realistic. Activate shadows and landing lights also! The sensitivity on all axes should be put on the maximum: “really sensitive”, and putt null zones on „0“. With Joysticks like the „Microsoft ForceFeedback2“in the menu „calibrate“set the ways short. The movement on the Stick need to be really small, this is a helicopter, not a rowing boat. J

Tip: use FSUIPC 3.6 or above by Peter Dowson, to configure your Joystick and pedal settings. Available here: http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html

… create your own FS9.cfg for the Alouette II As the reality-settings differ extreme from the settings usually used with other FS-aircraft, You may want to create a special FS9.cfg for the Alouette II, to be able to choose between normal settings and settings for your new helicopter. So let’ s start to create this FS9.cfg. You will usually find the orignial FS9.cfg at C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\"User"\Anwendungsdaten\Microsoft\FS9 Where „User“stands fort he username (your name). Now copy the existing FS9.cfg to a safe place. Then start the Flight Simulator and set the configurations as shown above. Close the Flight Simulator again. Now rename the FS9.cfg (the file includes now the new settings) to FS9AlouetteII.cfg. Now copy the FS9.cfg, you saved before, to its old place. Now you have two cfg-Files; one for normal flying (FS9.cfg) and one fort the Alouette II (FS9alouetteII.cfg). As next step you copy the FS 2004 Short-Cut on your Desktop and rename the copy to “FS2004 AlouetteII”. Click with the right mousebutton on this new shortcut and change the path of the fs9.cfg as shown in the picture left. Only change the line „Ziel:“(path) to "C:\Programme\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\FS9.EXE"_/CFG:fs9alouetteII Add the text marked green after adding a space. Leave or Add the “marked blue. And that’ s all… 11

Here we go… … first stepps in the cockpit

By now you should be sitting in the Lama cockpit. We suggest to use the Virtual Cockpit. It gives a better overview and allows for easier handling. (Also no throttle panel is available in the 2D-Cockpit) Following should be done: For a perfect view put the “zoom”on 51-55% Fuelling and Transport goods of choice should be adjusted with weight for better realism. Look at the picture next to this text. It highlights click spot where if clicked sub panels will appear.

...and what else you need to know.

The Rotor brake can be activated by pulling the red lever when the Engine is in Idle and the Main Rotor turns below 175 rpm. (Pull the „throttle“all the way back or ctrl+F1). The “warning park brake activated” will be seen. (ADVANCED only) To deploy the landing-light, use the „tail-hook“-command or click on the switch on the pitch-lever (s. next page à assignments) Switch the wiper on / off wit the red-head-switch on the pitch-lever. (German models only)
