I am only 1 person so please be patient, I am doing my best, but this stuff takes a lot of time! Thanks for taking the time to read this :)

I love the aircraft and flying characteristics, but I do not have any sound. Any recommendations? All other aircraft in my library work fine.
sorry i missed this question, the only time i know of sounds not working, is in 2024 for some reason..., in 2020 they seem to operate as intended. Sorry again for such late reply

Is the searchlight working? If yes what are the keybindings?
hey there! I used to have the light bound to dials in the cockpit, but it was very awkward. It currently is set to automatically rotate and pitch with the heli itself. hope that helps for now! :)

It's so much fun to fly! Thanks for a wonderful and beautiful NOTAR helicopter! By the way, Is the paint kit for hurricane available? I'm happy if layered PSD or white blank livery is available.
firstly, thank you very much! :) I hope the new FM is more enjoyable now. I will work on getting some kind of paint kit out, I believe I had started one but got swamped with other work! I got more time to focus on my released projects now, so i been slowly working on some kind of updates on them all. :) Thanks again, the reviews are appreciated, good or bad, as they help others know whats up!
Thanks for reply! Keep up the good work!

Hi , I Just Brought This Item and Do I Need To Do Anything With The 'Weather Presets' Folder?
thanks! No, just keep it in the existing structure and they should be available in the menu . The extra airfield addon is also in that folder structure, and it WILL have to be pulled out and put in the community folder seperately if you intend to use it. :)
Thankyou this is helpful. : )

So I got this yesterday. I must say, I like it a lot. It handles well and is on the easier end of the spectrum of helicopters. It is a fun little chopper and very well done. If there was a single complaint I could come up with it would be the yaw control. Its a bit too easy lol. I wish it was a bit more "squirly". That said, this is a common gripe I have with a lot of the MSFS helicopters. So basically this is an outstanding little chopper. Im very happy with it!
thanks so very much! Im happy you like it, I tried to make a balanced FM so it would encompass most users, but alas, it is impossible to please everyone! With that said, I have a new pilot friend for whom I am building a jetexec heli for as he is a builder/owner IRL. So with his willingness to assist me, I think I will have him help me refine this FM a bit more in the future :) Like I told the other fella, I will be posting updates, but the timeframe may be a bit lengthy! (If something was drastically wrong, i'd post updates ASAP, but with improvement type updates I am not as in a rush, but they will come ;) ).

Its looking good outside and inside, but the flightmodell seems to be unfinished. For me its not much fun to fly, drifting to the right all the time. Not possible to trim it like many other helos - just not fine enough.
thanks for the purchase! From my overall feedback on this particular heli, the flight model seems just fine. However, depending on peoples different control setups and other settings, yes, the "feel" or "handling" can be more or less pleasant than others, but this IME, is same/similar to all the helis using the msfs FM! Anyway, i appreciate your feedback and the rating! take care :)
