Character screen, which setting and where is that please?
Where you modify your character, thereās a co pilot there and you turn them off. Iām not in front of my computer now so canāt give the exact details but I think you might get there from one of the options in the top right of the screen.
Ah yes copilot, but not passengers
Thanks but as I said in my post I have already turned off the co-pilot. Im talking about the passengers and other crew like these folks. Does anyone know of a way to turn them off?
After set no passengers in the EFB slider, do you press the blue right at bottom that says load in aircraft or something similar?
Ive tried that, emptying the passenger weight out for example. I also change the fuel and I can see that gets updated in the heli, so i know the process is working, but the passengers/crew models stick around. Does it work for you? On top of just wanting an empty cabin I always get these senior citizens in rescue gear which is just laughable every time I look over. I do not want a granny repelling down a rope line. Itās a bit ludicrous.
Is this in free flight or during missions?
Free flight. Just want to fly around without all these weirdos.

I do that in the passengers H125 version and it works always, the passengers disappear and the heli have less weight instantaneously. In rescue I think you canĀ“t, I didnĀ“t try it neither. In free flight ofc.
Can some of you good H125 pilots try out the SU3 beta 1.5.1 helicopter landing challenge āthe needlesā?
Iām still new to helicopter flying, but I had the feeling I was getting better. My record in the past on this was 1.6mil, with a bit of luck 
But now, the H125 has become much harder to control at the platform in my opinion.
Sometimes it even shoots upwards like a rocket when getting into the platform ground effect slowly.
Anyone else having issues? Or am I just having a bad dayā¦
(no assistances on)
I opted out of SU3 beta because of the VR menu and controller bugs so canāt check it, but if this is true, then they managed to regress to Helicopters jump in and out of ground effect when near raised platforms, the CFD is not calculating the drop once again. Which would be pathetic.
Thats great to hear that it actually works and you can hide passengers! That means it must be something on my end, maybe im doing something wrong or my settings are weird Iāll have a look. Good to know its possible.
a valid point regarding the repaints: not a single real live livery available for that helicopter although it is such a widespread workhorseā¦ that simply says everything and i really do hope that the devs ask themselves why that is the case. it is by far the best 3d model i have seen for any sim of a H125 but there is so much room for a nice flightmodel, sounds and engine physics plus the said repaintsā¦ please Asobo/ms: listen up and involve airbus helicopters into the improvement as you must be in contact with them as you are licensing all your aircraft.
Thatās not because of the helicopter and especially not because of any flight model/system inaccuracies. Thatās because of the encryption/the missing paintkit, just like for all other MSFS 2024 aircraft.
If that theory would be valid Captain Sim aircraft must be the perfect choice for hardcore simmers, especially the 777 for MSFS 2020.
sorry i think you misunderstood my point. i might have mixed up my two points a bit in my post above: one is the missing repaints obviously due to the encryption mentioned by you and the second point is the one about physics and so on. nevertheless both of them should be correctedā¦

Who is this and why is he not sitting down??
Interesting extra pilot in multiplayer after SU2 update.
I can confirm, SU3 Needles challenge definitely is showing the symptoms of Helicopters jump in and out of ground effect when near raised platforms, the CFD is not calculating the drop.
This is concerning, but the interesting thing is that in free flight or in career mode there is no sign of that bug. I even tried the Needles in free flight, with the 060 at 21 kt with the H125, I have not experienced the effect. Also tried elevated platforms elsewhere with SU3, all was fine.

Created an issue, just in case: The Dreaded Helicopter Ground Effect Bug is Back in the Needles Challenge

Does anyone know why the startup sound is so dalayed compared to reality ?
Some ppl reported it at release in november, but I donāt thinks Itās logged as a bug, and H125 has already been updated few times without resolving it
You can hear the beautifull sound of the turbine just 1sec after he turned it on at 0:32
In MSFS it takes like 25 seconds to start hearing a shy sound from it, after the sound everything goes faster like in the video
Iām not an ecureuil specialist so is it a bug or some version of the real H125 taking more time to start ?
And same when you pass from idle to flight mode on the throttle, IRL it looks like Itās faster than in the sim, rotor increases RPM more easily
