    Description

    This freeware module is intended to be used with CowanSim H-125 helicopter as a realism enhancement mod.

    List of features:

    • *NEW* MSFS2024 Flight Model
    • Realistic AS350/H125 Vortex Ring State (VRS) model
    • Loss of Tail-rotor Effectiveness (LTE) model
    • Retreating Blade Stall (RBS) model
    • Custom engine temperature (T4) and engine hotstart modelling
    • Realistic H125 Hydraulic system including Servo Transparency phenomenon
    • Stress damage model on different helicopter components: engine, main rotor and tail rotor transmission
    • Random failures model system based on realistic aviation failure rates: engine fail, oil leak, main rotor failure, tail rotor servo stuck, etc.
    • Engine / blades icing effects 
    • ...and many other additions & fixes! (check version readme)
    • Custom sling loads physics model (v9.0): requires FS Fire addon (NOT Marketplace!)

    My cyclic is "snatching" back to center repeatedly in low-speed translational flight. For the last few updates, I thought this was related to some of the effects (VRS, etc.), but after I finally got around to disabling them, I then realized how much this was affecting my ability to maneuver in a high hover.

    EDIT - solution: Need to assign the Aileron and Elevator axes to my cyclic. In addition to (or en lieu of) the cylic axes. Maybe this information should be up front and bold in the manual and on this page?

    Yes. I added it to the UserGuide -Installation instructions.
    Also I pinned a message in the chat with the solution.

    Thanks so much. This update make very easy to install this mod and works without problem. Only ine question. I'm trying to do and "EPC" (engine power check) test in fly but the VMED screen show always "reduce electrical power need" )or very similar). I've all not necessary electrical off included rotarys "heating" and "demisting". I've tried switch off avionics and pitot heat too but the message not change. IT's possible to do this EPC test?

    Thanks for your words.
    Unfortunately the VMED is compiled by Cowan in a .wasm. I’ve tried to tackle it because there are things that aren't right or could be improved.
    Unfortunately, so far, I haven't found a workaround for it :(

    Hello first of all thanks for the amazing mod can’t fly the h125 without it was wondering can you do the same for the h130? And is a fulla state saving or fuel remembering feature possible? And also why is it the force trim works for roll of the cyclic and not the pitch you can try it with and then without your mod to see what i mean

    - The pitch axis results a bit lazier.
    Try several quick trim release repetitions (2-3) and the pitch attitude should be captured, it works in my side. Have in mind the extremelly narrow operational limits of HeliSAS (+- 10 deg)
    - H130: maybe in the future since cowans 2024 marketplace products are a no-go to me...
    - Persistent features: fuel, damage...already planned. We'll see

    Hi! Thanks for the mod!

    I couldn't find a description/installation instruction regarding the GTN750 - pls let us know what do with the folder "pms50-gtn750WTT-cowansim-cowansim-h125" andwhich module configuration ("H125_realism.cf") is the right one for which case.

    And I could not get it to work. I bought and installed the GTN750 from MSFS24 Market place (there are two versions the 24 and the 20):
    Copied the folder in the Community2024 folder - white screen
    Copied the content of the folder into the "cowansim-aircraft-h125" and replaced file - black screen (MSFS24 Marketplace, downloaded, 2024&2020 Version)

    The folders in my mod are intended to overwrite the original Cowan's ones.

    My gtn750 folder overwrites Cowans gtn750 folder (check Cowans instructions), that's all.

    Marketplace -> unsupported
    Full license gtn750 -> unsupported (it should work but I don't have a full version either, so... at your own risk)

    Cheers

    Hi, with the latest update, I copy and paste the files from the CowanSim_H125_v3.3 folder into the original h125 folder, but when I place the folder containing the z-RealismMod_CSH125_MSFS2024_FM into the Community folder, I encounter a malfunction with the battery and generator switches; upon starting the engine, the rotor doesn't spin and all parameters remain at zero. Without msfs2024 mod, the aircraft works perfectly. Naturally, I am using the 2024 version of the sim.

    I did what was described, but it isn't working. I followed the manual step-by-step. I don't understand why. It worked fine before this update.

    Try to remove the model folder in z-RealismMod_CSH125_MSFS2024_FM. Then rebuild the layout.json files

    Hi there! Congratulations on the work, but I'm having trouble with the pedals. They pull hard to one side only; do you happen to know why? I'm using G29 pedals, and they work fine with other helicopters and in X-Plane just not with your mod. Do you know the reason?

    Try to check if it's the pedals hydraulic accumulator offset. It needs always to be reset starting from Cold&Dark. Check my user guide
