EC135 T1 Multiple Bugs

Sim Update 4 Beta | MSFS 2024 Aircraft & Systems

In the latest beta, this helicopter exhibits multiple bugs:

  1. HYD PRESS on both systems remains on after startup (no hardness issue with the controls). False warning light?

  2. Unrealistic startup. Turbine one’s startup can take about 30/40 seconds, which is normal, but turbine 2 starts in less than 3 seconds; this is unrealistic!

  3. High temperatures during engine 1 startup. The TOT can reach 950°C. No turbine can withstand that temperature and continue operating. During engine 2 startup, the temperature does not rise above 210°C, which is completely unrealistic!

  4. The engine grips on the collective do not work.

I love this helicopter and it has good return dynamics, but it makes a lot of errors in its systems and that makes it lose immersion. I am HEMS pilot and I know what I’m talking about.

I think the biggest bug is the wrong attitude at pick-up. The aft left skid should leave the ground last, here the ec135 needs to pitch forward with the forward part of the skid leaving the ground last.

Also the tailrotor is extremely sensitive, even with sensitivity curves set to -50%, it is still very hard to do a pick-up without yawing all over the place.
