Hey there,
I have not had any luck finding a Bell Pacific 212 twin engined helicopter, they use these around here to fly in and out from the fishing lodges. They are a big machine and I would love to download one to learn to fly it. I have looked all through simviations choppers pages, done the searches and I come up with nothing. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Also, while there are none specific that says "Bell 212 Pacific", there are a couple of Bell 212s on this site on Page 8 of the helicopter downloads.  Try searching again just using BELL 212... You may have to do your own repaint or find someone that will do them for you.

P.S. The BELL 212 is not a twin-engine helicopter.  It may have a second engine in it for redundancy purposes, but doesn't have two(2) sets of blades.

In fact, the Bell 212 <IS> a twin-engined helicopter. It is also known as the UH-1N by USAF and USMC
see: http://www.russian.ee/%7Estar/vertigo/bell_212-r.html

It appears you have the idea that all twin-engined helicopters have more than one set of rotor blades (such as the Chinook) ??  Not so. The 212/UH-1N uses the P&W "Twinpak" -- two engines with a common output shaft.

Other well-known single rotor helicopters with twin engines are the AH-64 Apache, BlackHawk/SeaHawk, BK-117, AS-355, Bell 427, Bell 222, S64 AirCrane, Dolphin and others.  Moreover, there at least 2 single rotor designs that have 3 engines -- the EH-101 (Merlin) and CH53E Super Stallion are two notables.
