HTR - Helicopter Total Realism v1.1 released

I have been using it for weeks. It's really a cool addition to the sim.
I wish they would provide profiles for more copters, though.
 
Seems a little more stable with each release.
There have been a few issues addressed with this current version.
I haven't enough time yet to fully check it out.

HTR is released with just profiles for the default rotorcraft, including the Acceleration ones.
There are other profiles at Hovercontrol available on a separate download page here, in case you might have missed it:

There is also a HTR Configuration Creation Manual included in the package.
I know other folks are currently working on configurations besides Mr. Naar, so keep checking back at Hovercontrol occasionally.
 
This thing is really cool! but it lets me know I need rudder pedals instead of my twist joystick LOL!

The default R22 is touchy now - I see them fly all the time at work but have no idea how they really respond to control input.

I also have the cerasim Bell 412 - should I get the fde for that too?
 
Yes. Apparently the aircraft specific files don´t need to be updated. Read the manual where to put the file.

Right.
All the HTR specific config files do is contain the physical information about that particular helicopter, i.e. rotor lengths, diameters, etc, etc, plus some calculations based on that info.
So once all that physical information is gathered, it should never change.
HTR just uses that info to make the 'physics' adjustments in sim.
Such as when to induce Vortex Ring state, for example...
