    Wanted to try this and had to buy the Cowan H125 again because I had it via marketplace. It was worth trying and this is amazing to fly, thanks for this mod. Since I'm flying Airbus H120 IRL this has become my favorite MSFS helicopter immediately (as there is no good H120 in MSFS). Tao's 500 is great as well but 2nd because I'd like one closer to the Airbus Hs. Donation incoming.

    PS: The Paypal button does not work ("This organization's account is inactive."). Directly to your email works.

    there are two options to download, I am using msfs 2020 , Is the second one (v8.3) all that I need?

    Yes, v8.3 for Ms2020. Higher than that only 2024

    Another excellent update! I’ve noticed a rigid wire in front of the cockpit—I assume it’s a yaw string—but it doesn’t seem to work, right?

    You have to run the Aeroupdater exe. And do it always that you edit the configuration file

    (Just in case, latest versions are NOT MSFS2020 compatible...)

    I have run aeroupdater and verified that `yaw string=1` is set in `realism.cfg`, but I only see a metal wire (ending in a circle) with no moving string attached. It's correct?

    Any progress on this? I've never been able to get the yaw string to display. The wire is there but no string.

    Try v11. Properly configured and in a standard setup, it should work.

    Don't forget to delete the old z-RealismMod..*FM folder if Aeroupdater is not doing it (it should, but..). The only folders that should exist are the ones included in v11.

    My advice is to completely uninstall the sound pack from MSFS2024 and install it *ONLY* in MSFS2020. Then, search for the file via Windows in the community folders. The subsequent installation in MSFS2024 is manual and as described in my User Guide.

    I think this mod looks very promising, but I have a lot of problems:
    - The engine catches fire all the time. Just barely touching the limit makes my engine burn.
    - Max torq gives me very little lift, and I have to be very causios about not over torqing.
    - Controllers are just barely moving, and jumping back to center all the time, even without SAS enabled. After some time they are not moving at all.
    - Steam gauges are freezing after some time.
    - Limit light goes on for almost nothing.
    - Impossible to stop the engine.
    - Very hard to decend and stop because the rotor tend to rev far beyond its limits.
    - Anti torq pedals are often way out of center (not only the visuals, but my hardware as well)
    - The engine temp is always high. Around 880 when cruising, never gets below 640
    - SAS is not working as intended. Not able to turn on any autopilot functions above 40kts (or below for that sake)
    and more...

    I only fly in VR :)
    What can I do to solve these problems?

    Looks like all my problems are solved in the 10.1 update. Just love this mod!!

    Hi!
    I really love your mod! Awesome work, thank you so much!
    I have a question tho: If it’s me and I overlooked it in your precise setup docu, sorry, but I can’t get the GTN750 working. It’s just there, dead, with a grey screen. If I click the GPS panel selector on the main panel, the small unit changes to the stock GPS but the dead GTN750 remains.

    I have now removed the pms folder and your pms folder in the community directory and it doesn’t work in any way.
    Is a specific version of the gtn necessary or the payware version?

    This might just be the best mod I have ever seen when it comes to aircraft improvements. If you have the time please look into doing this for the hpg h145, it would mean a lot to me and others most likely considering they stopped the development!

    Thanks. I have a modification for the HPG145 and 160, though not as extensive as this one. I collaborated with Dave back then—a very talented and approachable guy, nothing like the arrogance of others...
    I would consider delving any deeper into *his* work to be disrespectful.
    For now, I’m just watching HPG’s moves; we’ll see what happens later...once the H125 finished, we'll see
