-
[IMPROVED] Pedal effectiveness and fuselage drag adjusted against real MH-60 data: tail rotor authority adjusted, front drag now matches the dirty MH-60S flat-plate figure, side-slip reaction softened; yaw response no longer “violent” in cruise
-
[IMPROVED] Speed-dependent pedal washout: full pedal authority in the hover, washing out linearly with speed.

-
[IMPROVED] Torque simulation and rotor spool up/down speed.
-

-
[IMPROVED] SAS attitude hold smoothed

[ADD] Cyclic beep trim: lateral/longitudinal rotor-trim keybinds now offset the SAS target attitude in AUTO TRIM mode.
-
[FIXED] Rotor trim no longer resets on ground contact unless SAS + TRIM are active
-
[FIXED] AFCS heading hold drift, pedal deadzone added to prevent drift on AFCS Modes.
-
[IMPROVED] Autopilot disconnect on input, thresholds adjusted
-
[ADD] Hover modes exit cleanly on deliberate cyclic input
-
[ADD] Cruise speed “beep”: with attitude hold engaged, cyclic trim adjusts the target airspeed in 6 kt steps
-
[ADD] Autostart (Ctrl+E) and auto-shutdown (Ctrl+Shift+E) support added.
-
[FIXED] Engine starter no longer springs back instantly: hold the starter with PCLs OFF and NG dry-motors to ~16% without “spring back”.
-
[FIXED] Bleed air is now required to start the engines (APU or cross-bleed)
-
[FIXED] APU now charges the battery (generator load curve corrected)
-
[FIXED] Rotor governor force-on corrected
-
[IMPROVED] Custom torque indication simulation.
-
[FIXED] Windshield wipers are time-based (no longer tied to frame rate)
-
[FIXED] Water drop timing is timer-based (no longer tied to frame rate)
-
[ADD] MSN nav source now fully functional on the HSI — course, bearing, distance, ident, TO flag and CDI lateral deviation
-
[ADD] Waypoint data in the PFD’s MSN source block: ident, bearing and distance to the next waypoint, shown when MSN is selected
-
[ADD] Active flight plan leg painted GREEN on both the PFD and MD maps, advancing as legs sequence
-
[ADD] Already-flown legs and their waypoint icons are removed from the maps as you pass them
-
[FIXED] Search patterns now become a real, valid sim flight plan to enable GPS tracking, green leg and sequencing
-
[IMPROVED] Waypoints show real facility idents instead of USR labels
-
[FIXED] Tablet (EFB) routes no longer lose SID/STAR waypoints
-
[FIXED] Map Airspaces, navaids and airports failing to load until a flight restart
-
[FIXED] Flight plan entry freeze in the INS planner
-
[FIXED] HSI TO/FROM indicator now displayed for all nav sources
-
[FIXED] PFD HDG readout no longer flickers between 000 and 360
-
[IMPROVED] FLIR merged into the Mission Display as a single gauge entry to prevent loading issues.
-
[IMPROVED] MFD DSP BRT rocker switch to adjust screen brightness
-
[ADD] hPa/inHg altimeter toggle: keyset CONFIG page setting
-
[FIXED] Instrument camera views improvements: view 2 is Overhead and view 5 is Centre Console on all variants
-
[IMPROVED] AFCS lat/long/alt knobs and all 4 ICS volume knobs rebuilt with full tooltips (title, description, live value) and click+drag interaction
-
[IMPROVED] Lat/long hover velocity knobs use 1 kn increments
-
[FIXED] Cockpit emissive decals no longer lit without electrical power; lights and keyset are dead with battery off
-
[ADD] EGI realistic alignment time (optional, keyset CONFIG toggle)
-
[FIXED] EFB no longer flickers in and out of visibility when detached with TAB
-
[FIXED] Crew/pilot models no longer flicker visible/invisible
-
[FIXED] Door sounds work for all opening methods, including removed doors and native exit commands
-
[FIXED] Removed doors no longer sound as if closed
-
[ADD] COM1/COM2 volume keybinds
-
[FIXED] Aircraft ATC ID reports as “MH-60”
-
[FIXED] Glareshield and Cabin Light switches and VFX.
-
[IMPROVED] Long-distance LODs slightly improved
-
[FIXED] Antenna fixtures AO artifacts erased (MH-60T/R)
-
[FIXED] Removed formation lights on MH-60T (not present on real aircraft)
-
[FIXED] Stabilator formation lights animations restored
-
[IMPROVED] Rotor blades have more flex on the ground, reduced stiffness
-
[ADD] Keyset DIR TO functionality — NAV > LEG SEQ page: FWD/BKWD SEQ selects target waypoint, CURR LEG snaps to active leg, DIR TO executes. Preserves remaining route after target; works mid-flight and with tablet plans, search patterns, and FTP routes
