Philip and Khamsin did a great job on this little bird. The XP11 version was already one of the best birds in the sim.

Ugh, 360p. I'll have to come back once KZfaq have processed the HD version. :) I like the look of this chopper.

LAMAs are just soo cool

A correction: The pitch indicator is not a manifold pressure gauge and thereby always shows only the position of your collective and in contrast to what I say in the video it does not move during take-off...

-1 for me : No price reduction for the xplane 11 owner, i don’t want paid again 100 % cause its the same... For example, Cowansim give free update for xplane 12 about the last H125...

There is no way I will buy this again. Just bought it 2 Months ago for X plane 11. They could have given existing users the free update. F... them

As a long-time real world fixed-wing pilot, I've pretty much been flying transport category aircraft but I've been intrigued by accurate rotary wing simulation. I do appreciate your "Nerdy" approach since I'm also an engineer. You've got a lot of rotary wing aero knowledge that doesn't seem to get imparted into much of the simulation training so I'm now "subbed" to you. It's good to hear that XP-12 will raise the standard of aerodynamic realism further. When I get the chance, I'll probably add my first pay-ware helicopter. What joystick do you use for a collective?

nice

Moin from Hamburg, thank you for your very informative videos about Heli flying. Would it be possible to create a video in the future especialy for flying EMS Helicopter starting and landing in CTRs with procedures like crossing airports, atc etc. (Maybe in the area of EDDH). Keep on creating these vids.

I like your point about the difficulty in controlling an aircraft not necessarily meaning it's more realistic. I can hover a actual R22 no problem but I have a much harder time hovering one in XP11. Back when I was at flight school I bought a realistic control setup hoping the sim would give me some inexpensive practice. Nope, the model is far too sensitive compared to the real thing. And I'm told the R22 is one of the twitchiest helis there is!

for performance: disable hyperthreading in your bios. xplane 12 will run much faster without it. (2 mainthreads on different cores, then). solved all my fps issues

I have tried the Cowansim H125 on XP12 and it exhibits the same characteristics as what has been described in this video. Its noticeably more stable compared to the XP11 version and the loss of translational lift also caught me by surprise as the chopper sinks down rapidly

Another great video. After your last video I've been flying the R22 in XP12 a LOT lately, certainly improving my hover game (and making me really wish for a "real" cyclic and collective). I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would (I don't own any Robinsons for XP11). I'm holding off with the big investments into XP12 for now, until the beta has progressed a little bit more, but I am really enjoying it. Unfortunately my Rift CV1 is currently inop (the cable finally gave out), so I can't fly helicopters. I know that sounds peculiar, but getting the thing transformed helicopter flying for me, and I can't go back (also this halts my sim racing as well as air combat, but I don't really do that anymore). A bit of a bummer, especially right now.

Speaking of Aerospatiale helos- I wonder if the 365 will eventually make an appearance in XP12? I hope the terrain is collidable by XP13- "It's a flight sim not a crash sim" I see Xplane simmers say a lot- maybe in a 747, but certainly not in a crop duster or utility helicopter- collisions matter.

Hi, I was wondering if you could show us how you setup your controllers to use for flying helicopters, I have the Saitek/Logitech X56 and can’t seem to get it correct for flying helicopters?

Hi friend, hey, i really appreciate the high standard of your tutorials, thank you and please go ahead!!! One query about density altitud, you got three thousand meters so, between what values in this chopp we should be in troubles? then in the inner scale you put 3 value, why? 3 is because of the 3000 meters? and 95 % of limit pitch is the GP? It means gobernor pitch? Then in the upper área of the gauge i can read .7 .8 9 1 PAS, what is this? Finally you name this value 2200 kilograms but the tiny arrow is in 18, 1800 kg, where do you get 2200? This gauge is automatically set when you load a flight or we must set it properly? Hope me must do it, i hate automations.. Don't you know if the Everest Park 3D FDainese scenery works properly without issues in XP12? You are really the best, take care my friend!!!

Possibily stupid question: Your airspeed indicator is in knots. Mine is in km/h. Is there a way to switch between these units, which I missed?

I think even a 5% discount would have been better than nothing.

where is this air port you just landed at I have 11 and 12 so I'd like to give it a go thanks much

Why does everything bounce or look jittery in Xplane 12?

I have the game too, how can I turn the camera back on the inside so that I can see the whole cockpit ???????????

Nah. It's not one of my favorites in xp11. Free upgrade or small fee I might try it. But not gonna buy it again for 12.

Those mountains look like trash compared to MSFS.
