UPDATE v2.1 - 05/30/24

UPDATE v2.0 - 02/08/24
- A new manual was included, and the online version can be found at https://cowansim.com/manuals-checklists/. Please read it! 90% of questions can be answered and that saves us time. If something does not work right now, there is a reason it doesn’t work. It’s either FPS related or simply not possible right now.
- All hardware bindings are fixed, and several were added. See the manual to learn how to map them all.
- Some important ones added:
- Throttle (see manual)
- Search light (see manual)
- The Nr and N2 increase with power requested now (collective input), like the real thing. Engine trim (beep switch) is done automatically.
- Increased the range of motion for the search light. Left/Right/Up/Down
- Enhanced the search light beam intensity, cone, and range.
- Search light changed to "wing lights" to separate binding from landing or taxi lights.
- The G3X glass panel was added as an option.
- The PMS GTN 650 & 750 and TDS GTNXi 650 & 750 were added as options. These are two different freeware and payware 3rd party products that must be installed separately. Once installed they will show up and work.
- Persistence code was added to save your weight and balance, and options configuration after shutting down. So, when you load your next flight all your settings will be the same as your last flight. You must change the weight and balance options while the helicopter is loaded, and the flight is started, or it will overwrite the values with the last flight values. Don't use the main menu to do this.
