If you are a fan of the freeware EC-135 for X-Plane (I really don’t know a lot of people that don’t like this amazing helicopter), you’ll probably like to know there’s a new update.
The changelog, which you can see below, shows the team has been doing some bug hunting but they have also improved or added a few features.
New Features and improvements
- Improvement in search and landing light control: Spectrolab can be preselected as user preference. Optional advisory shows the user which headlight is selected for control.
- X-Plane's standard command sim/lights/spot_light_center is supported to re-center search and landing light or spectrolab, whichever is selected.
- X-Plane's standard command sim/autopilot/servos_toggle can additionally be used to switch on and off the autopilot.
- Fine tuning for the power calculation in order to achieve a more realistic top speed at MCP.
Bug fixes
- Experimental workaround to resolve the engine control issues caused by XPUIPC.
- Experimental workaround for problems with reading of some joysticks (Z000000050).
- Texture issue at GPS solved.
- Power supply for left GPS changed from Essential Bus I to Avionics Shedding Bus I.
RotorSim also adds that “for the experimental workarounds, we hope for user feedback on success or failure, as we cannot reproduce the problems ourselves.”
