As far as I know you will have to search the various download sites unless someone here has a collection.

Using the Wayback Machine, I was able to download a helo!

Charlie Awaiting the new Microsoft Flight Sim and will eventually buy a new computer. Running a Chromebook for now!
In particular I am looking for Jordan Moore's Bell 212 for FSX

Try a search at SimViation . . .
HoverControl disappeared in 2018. Here is a nice story about Jordan Moore and his HC412 project:

The original HC412 installer from 2011 seems to be still downloadable indeed, thanks to the Wayback Machine:

It's a very nice port-over, and still works fine in my old FSX Acceleration setup:
The HoverControl Bell 212 is basically a 412 with only one engine. The VC is exactly the same... Not sure where to download this 212...
The former Milviz/Nemeth UH-1 Huey, now freeware thanks to Blackbird Simulations, is available for P3D... If you trick the installer to install it anyway for FSX (by putting a fake P3D.exe file in a temp folder) if works somewhat, but with no doors and no crew... It's probably an issue with P3D-only dll files... Too bad, it looks promising... Anybody knows how to fix this? Where to find the correct dlls?

Edit: an earlier version for FSX is available here:

No luck so far for B 212. Still looking !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hovercontrol (Jordan Moore) never made a Bell 212, I did the conversion of his 412 to 212 and you can find it on Avsim using my name (George Arana). There's 2 packs, make sure to grab both
I'm with the FAA and I'm here to help you.....................Now gimme a hug!
There are indeed two packs created by George Arana at AvSim but they are for FS9. As I said before, there is an FSX conversion at SimViation iif you bother to look for it . . .
Thanks Daube! Yes the MVAMS is needed to show doors, crew, etc... If works fine now since I found the correct dll for FSX in an older Milviz installer.
Thanks George, but I'm looking hard too for this HC212, but all I can find in the usual places is FS9 or P3D versions, no FSX version (native or portover). Maybe we're not looking hard enough... Help!
PS: I was wrong, a Bell 212 is a 412 with 2 propeller blades instead of 4, both are twin turbines. The Bell UH-1 (Huey) has only one turbine and 2 propeller blades.

euroastar350, did you also make the 210 model? While I spent alot of time is many of J. Moore's helos, his 412 was payware quality and I kept it even after purchasing the Cerasim 212 for my USMC UH-1N flying.

Eagle Rotorcraft Simulations (Brandon Filer + George Arana aka euroastar350) and Simulated Air Tanker Operations (scorch00) indeed made a 212 and a 412 for P3D.
It's also HERE in the SOH library.
With McX and no tweeking at all, I could convert the "Fire 212" model from P3D to native FSX, but there is a lot of issues, probably no big deal for a developper, but major headache for me: transparency issues, prop shadows, floating seats, animation bugs, to name a few. But it looks good! This one has a belly tank... could be easily removed if necessary...
Do you have a file name or a link for this FSX conversion at SimViation?
