I like the aircraft, but I have 3 complaints. First: The main rotor is spinning in the wrong direction. In real life, the main rotor blades on the R66 spin from right to left. Second: The noise caused by the throttle movements is very annoying. Last: The dashboard lights don’t work very well when you fly at night. Could someone fix these things? Thank you!

H125 in real life dont have trim!
People keep writing that but I don’t quite believe it. I do believe that functions associated with SAS are optional. And maybe that would include beep trim (hat trim). But a workhorse turbine helicopter needs force trim to allow the pilot to occasionally free his/her cyclic hand and reduce fatigue.
I’ve flown the R44 quite a bit but not the R66. It, the -44, has no trim of course. It would be cruel in the extreme to try to simulate it without trim. I’m am grateful that allowances were made here.

I have the LCE (Aviator)
I got all the aircraft except this one!
Even though it’s in the standard edition. 
Is it not included in your package or do you just not see it? There’s a bug where the Robbie doesn’t always show in the main list of all planes in your fleet. If you hit the helicopter tab it will be there (if included).

What an a**hole bug!

Select the Cessna SkyCourier, then look at the SkyCourier variants; the R66 will show up there (when it’s not visible in the menu).
Selecting the Helicopters tab often results in a sim crash for many people.

I like the way this helicopter flies, but definitely kicks up too much dust.
Here I am taking off from the White House lawn and kicking up a serious dust storm.

Agreed. Helicopters also shouldn’t kick up ANY dust with the collective all the way down at flat pitch. There’s no downwash at flat pitch.

The more I fly the R66, the more I like it. The extreme cloud of dust on anything but tarmac is probably my only complaint at the moment.
Edit: … and that you need to navigate to the Cessna 408 to find it

The C408 bug thingy was happening for me too right after launch, but has since resolved itself. Maybe delete your cache?

I’m also finding that these extreme clouds of dust eat FPS. You can lose 10FPS when all that dust is animated, although the grass moving is probably part of that too. Could definitely do with taming the effect down a bit.

My only complaint with the R66 is very specific to the XBOX. The blue “active” area of the right door is huge. When the player freelooks just a few degrees to the right of center it captures the door and interferes with aircraft control. My workaround is to fly from the left seat. And the overmuch dust/snow.

That clickspot is irritating on PC as well as if you get anywhere past halfway to the right of screen the door glows blue and is distracting, Compared to other “controls” it’s a massive area.

Nothing glows blue in legacy mode

No Legacy Mode in XBOX unfortunately.
The grating sound of the governor is killing me. It functions great, but you should never be able to hear it making a sound, especially not that creaking sound for the entire flight.
Generally speaking, the ground effect for rotorcraft is a bit improved from 2020, but still in need of loving. Helis don’t seem to go into vortex ring state, 6 feet from the ground, which is nice. However, they porpoise unrealistically in a hover, and require jockeying the collective to maintain it, which isn’t something you do in real life.
Audio is a 0 because of a horrible squeaking noise in the cabin.
Flight model and systems is a 0 because it has some weird bugs, gauges not working, crazy ground effect.

What is others opinion?! Something strange has happend.
