Frequently asked questions.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 only. The Turbine Sound Enhancement Mod and the FWX Helicopter Rotor Blade Haptic were built and tested against MSFS 2024. MSFS 2020 is not supported.

Yes, both editions are supported. The installer auto-detects the Community folder for MS Store and Steam.

Note for Steam users: On some Steam installations the package load order needs to be adjusted inside MSFS so the FWX audio takes priority. From v1.42 onward the installer shows an explicit dialog about this step, so you can't miss it.

No. The Enhancement Mod is compatible with the free Nemeth Design EC135 that ships with MSFS 2024, so you already have it.

Important: The mod is not compatible with the paid HPG H135 or HPG H145 from Hype Performance Group. Please make sure you are flying the free Nemeth Design EC135 before purchasing.

The FWX Helicopter Rotor Blade Haptic works standalone and is compatible with every helicopter in MSFS 2024, turbine or piston, not just the EC135.

The Turbine Sound Enhancement Mod works with any audio setup: headphones, speakers, or transducers. It is built to be shaker-safe, meaning no unwanted rumble inside the cockpit audio.

The FWX Helicopter Rotor Blade Haptic is made for a shaker or any haptic transducer. It sends rotor pulses so you feel the blade rhythm in your chair. Without such a device it has no effect, so get the Turbine Sound Enhancement Mod only in that case.

Double-click the installer (.exe) you downloaded after purchase. No ZIP, no extraction. When the installer opens, choose Install. It detects your MSFS 2024 Community folder automatically. Click through the dialogs, confirm the package reorder instructions if prompted, and you're done.

Run the same installer (.exe) you used to install. It doubles as an uninstaller. When it opens, choose Uninstall instead of Install. The Community folder entries for the Turbine Sound Enhancement Mod are removed cleanly, the default EC135 sounds come back, and the FWX Helicopter Rotor Blade Haptic removes itself cleanly. Each installer handles its own product; if you have the Bundle, use the Bundle installer to remove both in one go.

Windows-only. MSFS 2024 is a Windows title for PC and Xbox, and our add-ons require Windows. Xbox cannot install third-party Community addons at all, so this is fundamentally a PC product.

Yes. The FWX EC135 Turbine Sound Enhancement Mod (v2.0.8) works with both the Steam and Microsoft Store editions of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The installer is a single .exe that automatically detects the correct Community folder for whichever edition you run, so you never have to locate any path by hand. On some Steam installations the package load order must be set inside MSFS so the FWX audio takes priority over the default EC135 sounds; from version 1.42 onward the installer shows an explicit dialog about this one-time step, so it cannot be missed. The Sound Pack enhances the free Nemeth Design EC135 (Local Legend 21) that ships with MSFS 2024, and it runs on Windows 11. It does not run on Xbox, because Xbox cannot install third-party Community add-ons. If you later move between the Steam and Microsoft Store editions, run the installer again and it re-detects whichever Community folder is active.

The FWX Helicopter Rotor Blade Haptic works with any haptic hardware that Windows sees as an audio output device: shakers, tactile transducers, and even a spare pair of speakers repurposed as transducers. You feel single blade beats rather than one flat vibration, and the device list in the Haptic tab of the FWX Control Center - the panel you open from the toolbar inside the simulator - lets you choose exactly which output the pulses go to, so your headphones or main speakers stay untouched. A haptic device is required for it to have any effect; with nothing connected there is nothing to feel. It works on every helicopter in MSFS 2024, turbine or piston, not only the EC135, and it comes preset for the common types. Because each output is selected separately, the cockpit turbine audio can stay on your headset while the rotor pulses go only to the shaker.

After purchase you download a single installer (.exe); there is no ZIP to extract. Double-click it and choose Install, and it automatically finds your Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Community folder for both the Microsoft Store and Steam editions, so you do not have to navigate there yourself. Click through the dialogs, confirm the package reorder instructions if prompted so the FWX audio takes priority, and the enhancement is active the next time you load the Nemeth Design EC135. To remove it later, run the same .exe and choose Uninstall instead of Install; the default EC135 sounds return cleanly. A full step-by-step guide with screenshots is available on the Installation Guide page, and support is one email away at support@fwx-simaviation.com if anything looks different on your system. Because everything installs through the standard Community-folder mechanism, it sits alongside your other MSFS add-ons and does not modify the simulator's own files.

The standalone FWX EC135 Sound Enhancement Pack (EUR 7.99) replaces the EC135's in-game audio with custom turbine recordings for both cockpit and exterior views. It works with any audio setup and needs no extra hardware. The FWX Helicopter Rotor Blade Haptic (EUR 7.99) turns the rotor into single blade beats you feel in your seat or through your controls, on every helicopter in MSFS 2024; it needs a haptic device to do anything. The FWX EC135 Bundle (EUR 14.99) combines both products in one purchase at a lower combined price, with separate uninstall buttons so you can remove either part on its own. Both are set up in the same place: the FWX Control Center panel inside the simulator. Choose the Sound Pack alone for better audio only; choose the Bundle if you also own a shaker and want the rotor as well.

All FWX SimAviation products - the EC135 Sound Enhancement Pack, the FWX Helicopter Rotor Blade Haptic and the EC135 Bundle - are built and tested exclusively for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. MSFS 2020 is not supported, because the products target the MSFS 2024 audio system and the Nemeth Design EC135 (Local Legend 21) that released for MSFS 2024 in August 2025. Both the Microsoft Store and the Steam edition of MSFS 2024 are supported, and the installer auto-detects the correct Community folder for each. The products run on Windows 11 only; they do not run on Mac or Xbox, since Xbox cannot install third-party Community add-ons and our add-ons require Windows. Every future version upgrade is free for existing customers and arrives through the same download link you received at purchase.
