[MSFS2024] Airbus Helicopter H225

SU4 is out — have they fixed it?

There’s nothing about this in the release notes.

no changes up to now, they said there might be a delay until all aircraft get updated but i am not really hopefull.

I bought the higher tier of the sim specifically due to the h225 and the pc-24 and both not being in a good state has soured this badly for me.

Look at the release notes in the game. It’s showing what changes are coming. Both of those aircraft get some love.

This was my main motivation and it would be good to have updates finally delivered!

Have someone test it already?

at least for me it still s version 1.0, not yet updated

Are you in the beta?, betatesters are updated later, what I did is leave the beta, wait confirmation, reboot the PC. Where do you find the version?, I can´t fly now, in some hours.

Is the autopilot working?

Not updated.. been waiting literally 1 year to use this helicopter.. also been waiting for a year for the c-17.. and now the mouse doesn’t work at all in the cockpit. how hard can this possibly be to get right.. they need have the plane fixes IN the beta.

I still haven’t been pushed the .32 update download yet, but looking forward to it and the updated aircraft. I’ll try rebooting now just in case.

Rebooted and the update is downloading now!

Ok I’m on .32 now but still don’t have the updated H225.

Dear lord. Because of the broken collective and the fact I wasn’t able to fly this thing at all, I wasn’t even aware of the amount of bugs this product had. Impressive list. :smiley:

And still no upper modes (no autopilot).

HPG is being silent, because of NDA. Asobo being silent because whatever else, maybe they are too busy with PS5 launch.

I hope that somebody can shed some light on what the hell is going on with this project? Maybe Jorg on the next devstream can address what (if anything), is in the future for this helicopter?

Any update here on the lack of bug fix update showing, because it’s a bug fix, not an update really

Is there any update regarding the update?
Still communication issues?

The update is finally here. Version number for me is now 2.0.5

It’s now also available in career mode.
