I have just tried this and it works. Sometimes I have problems with parts being displayed that are not activated in the script, but after restarting the replay everything works as it should.Thanks for the help and I am very enthusiastic about the helicopter. I only fly in advanced mode and it is a great feeling to have to compensate the torgue with the pedals. Challenging of course but why else do it?

Actually, Airbus H135 has an incredibly advanced AFCS. The next version of HPG H135 will add a new dimension to flight by enabling you to fly hands off for more challenging missions, just like how the real h135 pilots appreciate the tools to manage their workload and accomplish the mission. The hands on feel is important but a modern helicopter has a lot more to offer than just the raw connection to the machine.

Hello, I just discovered that the last release of the H135 no longer interfaces with my LogiTech panels.

Yes i know. I’m reading a bit about the technology of the H135 at the moment (for example)
and i am very interested to see what else will be possible in your H135 mod in the future.

Voice & Text Chat: The official Hype Performance Group Discord server
This Thursday the 27th, Hype Performance Group will release the 1.0 update for our Airbus H135 helicopter.
In celebration of this release we will be holding our first ever community group flight event the following day in collaboration with one of our favorite content creators, RotorSimPilot.
Taking part of this group flight will give you the chance to meet new pilots, learn new skills from RotorSimPilot and ask our development team any questions you may have. Let’s all also take this opportunity to give our thanks to Dave for close to 4 months of non-stop communication, community interaction and development updates.
With over 200K downloads we hope we can make this one of largest and most fun events that the Microsoft Flight Simulator community has seen so far! As always, thank you all for your support!

Interested to know if anyone else is having the same issue as I am. My issue is that it won’t get off the ground…all appropriate switches toggled fully up but it still stays on the ground… even at full throttle. I have the latest release. Is there any adjustments to the file(s) I can make to overcome this “stuck to the ground” issue?
There are two switches on the center console that need to be flipped up. The auto throttle governors for engine 1 and engine 2. Once that is done you will be able to use your throttle as a (collective). By default in MSFS 2020 you increase throttle by pushing forward. IIRC in FSX this was reversed by default when flying helicopters.
Thanks for the reply… I’ve fully toggled both switches up (using the mouse wheel) and still not able to gain any altitude…even at full throttle. Apparently this works for everyone but me. 
The only thing that might be somewhat unique is that I am using a Virpil throttle and joystick. Both of which work wonderfully on all other aircraft…except this helicopter. Assuming that device is the root issue.
Check that your collective control is physically moving in the cockpit. If it isn’t, then the game can’t read your throttle axis. You must map your axis to the control called THROTTLE AXIS.
Additionally, check your PC’s Documents folder for a file called SimConnect.cfg. If found, remove it and restart the game.
Wow that was a quick response!!! I’ll need to wait a bit to get back on the machine (due to work🙄). That sounds like you might be on to something I’ve not tried. Thank you sooo much!!
Edit: even with todays Sim update no better. The switches you are referring to are both circled below, right?
Throttle is all the way up with N1 at 90.2%
Below with stick full back and throttle at full
Same picture but with throttle at very low.
Last edit: I finally figured it out I had to assign it to my flaps axis and now I have a throttle and I can climb and fly and it’s wonderful thank you very much!!
You might enjoy this explanation and is certainly worth a read .

It has a lot to do with lateral COG and where the fuel tank sits and how the tail rotor is set up and how best to keep the fuselage hanging level as you can get it under a teetering rotorhead . Remember the helicopter literally hangs with gravity under those bell hillier style teetering rotorhead design . This system is what causes a lot of accidents in Robinson helicopters as we call them low G pushovers and the fuselage and tail boom float up into the main rotor. There is a big warning on the cyclic that says " No Low G Pushovers" . I understand they lost a few Bell 205’s in Vietnam as pilots dived down valleys and hills until they worked out that this caused mast bumping.
Ah okay the conclusion of the article in the link is, the real reason for the rotation side no one really knows. It’s pretty comprehensible, they had to construct the thing on one side, in the end it’s neither a disantvatage nor an advantage you have only to adjust the rest of the machine so that it works.
I never doubted your explanation on this topic before, but now I do. On the end of your link about the rotation side of helicopters I saw the following link about seating arrangement:
Aerospaceweb.org | Ask Us - Helicopter Seating Arrangement
It seems to be, that the seat position has to do with educational reasons.
Here a short quote of the articles autor:
„ Personally, I tend to think that the early test pilots using the left seat to train the new guys played a major role in the location of the pilot’s seat, and that it sounds most reasonable that the rescue hoist was placed as a result of this decision.“
It is just an opinion, of thiy guy, and I think so it’s just your opinion with your technical explanation because COG? I don’t want to attack you, I appreciate your explanation and it makes sense that you place the pilot on a point to counterakt the „hanging tendency“ of the helicopter. You told us you’re a pilot in real life, so you should know the forces and should have experience with this topic. I’m not a real life pilot so I don’t have this experience. I only can imagine that you have more troubles in small choppers concerning the weight of the pilot and COG. In a Mi-8 I can’t imagine that you have a negative effect, wether the pilot would seat right or left.
It looks like it’s not definitely cleared. I can also imagine it’s a mix between your and the other explanation and the philosophie of the manufacteur.
Only to return to the point why I originally answered to your post about the pilot seat side.
You wrote: „In most Euro helicopters they rotate clockwise so we sit on the left .“
You told me afterwards about the EC130 where you are sitting on the left.
I didn’t know about the seat side of the EC130. But that’s not most, it’s one example.
I know the following EU helicopters you sit on the right, even when the blades maybe spinning clockwise, I didn’t check this:
- Alouette II
- SA315b Lama
- Alouette III
- H135
- H145
- H125
- Agusta AW109
- Agusta/Kopter AW09
- I think also the other Agustas, but I’m not sure.
Please correct me if I’m wrong on a point.
I didn’t want to discuss about this, but you wrote a lot more, so here was my part. 
Conclusion:
- Most helicopters from EU manufacteurs are piloted from the right seat.
- Spinning side of the rotor, we don’t really know exactly why it is how it is.
- Pilot seat side we don’t really know exactly why it is how it is.
This is my opinion and that what you can official read in the internet, maybe you have as a pilot insider knowledge that we could not find official, but then also most likely it will not be confirmed from the majority and is more an opinion, even if it has some real points that speaks for COG reasons.
Best regards.
I’ve sat in an Augusta AW109 with Norm Winningstad one day. He was in the right seat while I was in the left seat. He had just replaced the rotor blades and was doing a test run up before first flight after the replacement had been completed. I don’t remember which way the rotors were spinning though

Hi everyone! Airbus H135 v1.0 is now up on Flightsim.to! If you haven’t already, please give us a 5 star review!
In our screenshots you can see that the H135 now has an EFB that is capable of displaying a web browser or a screen capture from one of your computer’s displays.
This feature requires a bit of advanced setup and we want to walk users through the process as well as take your feedback - the files necessary to run the EFB are exclusive to our Discord members for this reason.
You can join our Discord channel at HYPE

I’ve flown 1.0 tonight. Now, I’m still learning and fly Basic so most of these modifications don’t affect me yet. That being said, I don’t know much about helicopters but this bird seems to fly pretty well for me. I’m mostly practicing lift off moving downfield and landing on target. The switches for PITOT Heater are labeled Pilot and Co-pilot. Is this correct? There are other labeled overhead toggle switches that can be turned to ON, but they flip back. Otherwise, Lot’s of enjoyment.

Yup, PTSG being PILOT and COPILOT is how the real thing is, with one heater for the pilot’s side and one for the copilot.
For the switches that spring back, they are:
- FUZZ BURN: You use this when you are clearing the metal chip detection sensors for engine, main gearbox and tail gearbox. If you see “CHIP … ENG 1” you would attempt exactly one FUZZ BURN to clear it. If it does not clear, land immediately.
- FIRE TEST ENGINE 1
- FIRE TEST ENGINE 2
- WARNING LAMP TEST
2 and 3 will play the engine fire chime, and you may confirm that you see the FIRE indication on the master warnings unit (in front of you, over the center MFD).
4 will light up all the lights on the same master warning unit, and you may see if all the lamps are correctly functioning.
2, 3 and 4 are all used during pre-flight.
Hope that helps.
