Includes: Flight Dynamics · PDF manual
Heli Flight Dynamics keeps the flight model of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and adds extra motion in the hover and in forward flight, which can be set separately. In the hover the helicopter drifts slightly and has to be actively held; how much is set in the FWX Control Center.
Factory profiles for nine helicopter types: Cabri, R66, EC135, H125, H225, Bell 407, UH-1H, CH-47D and S-64F; other helicopters start from a general base profile. The effect strength adapts to the size and weight distribution of each helicopter. Press Save to create your own profile per helicopter; the factory profile stays unchanged.

Includes: Rotor Shadow
On seven types the simulator stops drawing the rotor shadow above a certain rotor speed. Rotor Shadow brings it back – matched to the current rotor speed and tilting with the helicopter.
Supported types: Airbus EC135, Airbus H125, Airbus H225, Guimbal Cabri G2, Robinson R66, Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane, Boeing CH-47D Chinook.
Main and tail rotor each cast their own shadow; each of the seven types is tuned individually. In the FWX Control Center the shadow can be switched on and off per helicopter type.

Includes: Rotor Haptic
Rotor Haptic passes on every single blade pass as vibration, and every type has its own rhythm. During start-up the beats are slow enough to count; at full rotor speed they merge into a deep, even bass. Spool-up, hover and hard manoeuvres feel different, so you can feel what the helicopter is doing.
Rotor Haptic works on every helicopter in the simulator. You set the strength in the FWX Control Center; the Haptic tab shows the number of rotor blades of the current helicopter. To feel it, you need a tactile transducer, for example on your seat.
There is no video for the haptics: they are felt, not seen.
Final price. No VAT under §19 UStG (small business). Digital download, no shipping costs.
Includes: EC135 Turbine Sound
This mod completely replaces the sounds of the EC135 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, inside and out, with recorded turbine sounds. In the cockpit every phase of flight has its own sound: cold start, spool-up, idle, flight and shutdown. From outside you hear the whine of the two turbines.
The mod works only on the EC135; every other aircraft sounds exactly as before. You choose the audio device by name in the FWX Control Center.
