[MSFS2024] Airbus Helicopter H125

The 3D model is outstanding, everything is modeled even under the cowlings. It’s a joy in VR.
Things that should be improved:

  • No alarm sounds like low/high rpm, radar altimeter
  • Startup sound are not great ( I suggest watching “UpsideDownWash” videos on YT)
  • I hope we can get a decent model of the GTN 650 with transponder
  • I wish there were more options on the VEMD
  • in the sling version the top mirror seem way too big in VR
  • ground effect when landing on platforms is terrible and I get a violent yaw everytime

If the aircraft werent encrypted we could probably edit the cfg file to enable trimming, at least for PC users. The force trim seems to be built into whatever default trimming is in the sim, and the Cowan helis have it too

84

My VSI and Altimeter simply do not function. I turned on the Avionics. Am I missing something else? SURELY I must be missing something else.

85

During the walk around did you make sure you removed all the covers? That’s caught me up a coupe times.

86

To the best of my knowledge, yeah. I do know I got the pitot tube because I ALMOST missed it.

87

Look under the heli as well. @Agathorn1975

88

No trim. I cannot judge much beyond that because the lack of trim makes a flight of more than a minute or two impossible.

89

I have hopes for a GTN 750. That one is available for installation IRL too. To my knowledge there is no 650 for MSFS but a free and good 750 does exist.

Is the mirror working for you?

90

The TDS includes a 650, just need to wat for the bug preventing thier control from working in 2024 :frowning:

Of course, since this is an included aircraft, it is locked down so no one can mod the 650 or 750 in, and there is little chance Asobo will do it

91

Yeah, I was just thinking about the 650 which is currently in the H125, it’s very basic. Hopefully WT can develop it so we have something decent rather than relying on third party mods.

The mirror doesn’t work and to be honest if it did it would probably kill the fps. Since it’s not functional I would prefer to only have the bottom one which is realistic for most sling h125.
In VR I use the floor window and the picture looks super realistic compared to the real video, it’s just very difficult to control the helicopter while looking down.

92

Does anyone know if it’s possible or not to bind commands like extend/reduce cargo line or elingue ? I saw bindings but they doesn’t seem to work ?

93

there are no joystik springs in the real word too… :wink:

Also the craft clearly has the controls on the stick so it would be less of a stretch than the R66 having trim, which it does in the sim. Surely this is just an oversight. If we knew the variable to enable it someone could probably whip up a mod.

The lack of working rotor trim for the H125 is clearly an oversight/bug and I’m certain it will get resolved.
We have beaten the issue to death…

Have patience, it will get fixed.

Yeah, and the more we bleat about it the sooner it gets fixed. :stuck_out_tongue:

I think we’ve reached the point of diminishing returns on this one…

Merci pour ce retour factuel d’un véritable pilote. Très intéressant !
Après des heures à ne plus les compter sur l’H125 de Cowansim dans MSFS20, je suis déçu par la version d’Asobo. Quel dommage qu’ils n’aient pas travaillé ensemble pour MSFS24 ! Sûrement une histoire financière…
La dynamique de vol dans la version Cowansim semble bien plus réaliste selon les retours de votre ami.
C’est vraiment ridicule de descendre comme un planeur lorsqu’on coupe le cyclique sur la version Asobo !
À quand le portage du H125 de Cowansim dans MSFS24 !? Tous les achats sur MSFS20 étaient censés être transférés mais je l’attends toujours… Y’a-t-il un blocage de la part de Microsoft ?
Avez-vous pu faire tester le H125 Cowansim dans MSFS20 à votre ami ?
Au global je suis partagé par mon retour d’expérience sur MSFS24 vs MSFS20. Tant de potentiel gâché. Il y’a beaucoup de choses qui tournent mieux et sont plus belles dans MSFS20 mais le mode carrière et les missions dans MSFS24 sont un must !
Pourvu qu’ils améliorent cette belle base :crossed_fingers:

Regarding the ground effect, please vote for the bug report here to give it more traction Helicopters jump in and out of ground effect when near raised platforms, the CFD is not calculating the drop

Koooorrrectimundo!

At the very least, give us the option. Since we can set profiles (I would just suggest using SPAD, much easier, anyway), if I’m using a spring cyclic, trimming is needed (most people will have a spring cyclic). If I don’t have it, I can make a profile that doesn’t have any trim values for realism. Sort of like a user-defined ‘assist’ for the sake of hardware limitations. All for a trim option!

Pretty sure this issue have nothing to do with “yeah we like to have it realistic, therefore no trim”. (imho just a fanboi argument who can not deal with the critics that MSFS24 get)

I mean this makes absolutly no sense with all the other asistance systems which are “working”.

Imho its just another oversight in a rushed game / sim. Pretty sure it get patched.
