Brief description of the issue:

Seems the "Category = “Helicopter” is not correctly inserted by SimConnect into the game. With online use on VATSIM the client vPilot gives errors when the aircraft is from the category Helicopter.

The designer of vPilot is aware of the problem yet says the problem is SimConnect of MSFS.
See topic: Helicopter model-matching in vPilot and MSFS - #6 by 876002 - Pilot Software - VATSIM Forum

Moved to User Support Hub SDK that is more appropriate.

@Garfield9910: since SDK/SimConnect related, you should post your question/report (if no similar one already exist) on the dev support forum https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com as requested by the SDK team.
