There is a start up checklist located in the main folder to get you going from cold and dark start. You can also access options, like the passengers and more, from the weight and balance window.
Due to limitations of the sim right now, you will have to use a mouse or VR controller for the throttle. Hardware bindings will be updated by Asobo and we will implement the code in an update after that. This is version 1.0.3, so expect updates after feedback is received. We keep our products up to date, so you can count on us!
Please follow the Changelog.
To install just unzip the into your MSFS 2020 “Community” folder.
Windows Store install:
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\
Steam install:
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightDashboard_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\
Custom install:
If you used a custom location for your Flight Simulator installation then you can find the community folder in there.
Windows 10 hides the “AppData” folder, so you will have to go to “View” in the menu of File Explorer, and select “Hidden items” to see it.
Thank you for the support! 🙂

Just found about this and took her for a test-spin (not literally :p). Fantastic 3D modeling inside and out, extensive livery selection and solid flight model. No doubt, a worthy addition to the growing library of rotors.
Excellent work!

Thanks for this nice helicopter. It’s a pleasure to fly around with it in MSFS in VR. Years ago, I had the oportunity to fly with an instructor to make a short flight with this helicopter. We were focussing on a few flight characteritics. In my opinion these things are also relativly good realised in MSFS. Nethertheless, there are some real pilots with a much greater experience on this helicopter, which reported some vulnerabilities regarding the flight characteristics. If these pilots are right and the MSFS permits, it would be great to bring this with an update regarding the flight characteristics. Overall, however, there is nothing to complain about here from my point of view.
Also the sound is in my option relativly good relised (especially the blade slap and from the outside during fly by and approach to the drone camera)
Maybe I found a tiny bug with the DC indicator. If everything is turned off, the indication should be at 0? For me it’s about 5…
What I miss a bit in VR is the ability to right click to zoom in on the instruments. But that is not so important.
I definitely give this helicopter 5 stars.
I’m looking forward to updates and more helicopters for MSFS.

Nice helicopter and huge assortment of liveries, one problem is that my fps drops dramatically due to the high detailed textures, otherwise great product.
