Airbus H135 - helicopter

Great views! But what about those flickering parts (winglets, bulbous nose, under-fenestron aileron, etc)? The same thing happens when you go in the hangar to choose the livery.

And how do you get a "fixed POV" from the station? Impressive:applause:
 
Upgrade v1.1

Lots of changes.

  • Version 1.1 May 28, 2021
    In our screenshots you can see that the H135 now has an EFB that is capable of displaying a web browser or a screen capture from one of your computer's displays.

    This feature requires a bit of advanced setup and we want to walk users through the process as well as take your feedback - the files necessary to run the EFB are exclusive to our Discord members for this reason.

Any tips to taking off? I'm giving it full collective and it wont budge from the ground. I'm mapped and see it move, just not lifting off.

Go watch this video;


The most common mistake is to forget the idle-full transition. You can't muster enough torque to lift on idle only.

Development build v411

If you check the discord channel you'll see work continuing on the H135.

https://discord.com/channels/426503612819046401/814935624745222194

Development build 411 is available

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H-4VAUDbJVlv-yklxBkkxDfoqU7w7E7R/view?usp=sharing

Since version 1.3, this build adds:
404 - NEW ROTOR: @AeroLynx has spent quite some time over the past weeks to rebuild the rotor and rotor animations. This work is finally ready to show, but will still need tweaking and tuning. Only the most basic effects are implemented so far. - Rotor blades updated with new details, trim tabs, etc. - Rotor blades bend down when powered off. - Rotor blur in 3 stages for higher rotor rpm. - NOTE: Liveries will need an update! Inbox liveries have been reset to the default yellow tipped rotor for now: CLI4D CORP NAVY SAMU SKYHEALTH. - GTN750 will now be automatically loaded on the lower 2 screens if installed. - L:TOGGLE_DOOR_OFF and L:WINDSHIELD_DISABLE will now work from UserSetup
.
405 - Updated comp texture (no longer so metallic) - Change rotor blur timing stages - Fix hub getting color from the wrong place on the diffuse - Update Norsk livery

406 - Flight model: RBS is now only on Advanced mode - Flight model: Increase pedal authority for Basic/Xbox flight modes - Autorotation changes around looking at
N2. This may be a bug fix for people "falling out of the sky for no reason". - Move default camera viewpoint up just a bit.

407 - Blade bend ("flap up") now implemented. - Adjusted the rotor animation stages to avoid duplicates or missing rotor segments during wind up and wind down.

408 - Fix FADEC not being respected on takeoff (but from 406/407)

409 - Fixes for stuttering/bad performance.

411 - Fix rear doors disappearing when going "doors off" - Fix a small visual issue with the rotor trim tabs - Increase the size of the clock on the FND page
