    CowanSim 222B – Elegance Meets Performance

    Introducing the CowanSim 222B, a twin-engine helicopter crafted for precision, comfort, and versatility. With both luxury and medical (HEMS) configurations included, the 222B is built to adapt to any mission while delivering a true-to-life flying experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

    The 222B was refined through countless hours of feedback, coding, and testing to achieve the highest level of realism possible. Every detail—from startup procedure and the new auto pilot system was carefully crafted. Persistence systems ensure your weight, balance, and custom options carry over from flight to flight, and customizable throttle and idle stop bindings give you full control.

    This is a great helicopter. I was a bit scared it would be too sensitive on controls, but now that my stick is properly setup, and with the use of trim, it's a blast to fly this iconic machine. Thanks for the great work. I will definitely look closer to what you've done so far and what is coming next!
