CowanSim H125/AS350B3e

Microsoft Flight Simulator

UPDATE v1.0.2 – 05/03/2023

Fixed an issue with the anti-torque pedals that caused the RPM to rise extremely when the anti-torque pedals were pushed to the max, or close. The issue was too much pitch available along with inaccurate angle of attack values causing the blades to stall.   

Fixed the center of gravity out of whack in the weight and balance settings window.

Added functionality to the spot/search light. There is a controller inside the cockpit to turn on/off and change the direction.

Fixed several liveries missing the materials for metallic paint.

Fixed the height and pitch of the model when first loading into the sim.

Fixed the white tail navigation light that was misplaced in the model along with the node to cast light and the emissive mesh.

Fixed the battery switch flaw that was causing the avionics switch to be inverted. When the switch was set to emergency shed then the avionics switch was reversed. To eliminate the issue the battery switch was changed to a two way on/off switch without emergency shed.

When loading cold and dark the avionics switch is now defaulted to off.

Fixed the mapping (again)  for the side basket. Painters can change the color of the basket texture now.

Fixed the emergency fuel valve click spot and logic.

Fixed the incorrect vertical speed indicator.

Fixed the doors open sound when using the weight and balance window to remove the doors.

Flattened out the mirrors to get a better reflection. There is still an issue, kind of. The mirrors have to be perpendicular to the camera unlike in the real world where they would be at an angle. So the stationary (upper) mirror was remodeled to an exactly upright position, otherwise you would only see the ground and that is just a blob of the ground color, which is boring to look at. That's as good as they get for now.

Added a lower mirror adjustment hat switch to the cyclic.

Flight model and engine changes were made to reflect several real H125 pilots advice.

Several modeling, textures and coding additions/optimizations/fixes/tweaks.
