The update includes a version with the Astazou engine, new sounds, the ability to see the pilot and co-pilot, and a lot more. Taog’s Hangar Alouette III was already pretty good, and it seems to get better over time, even while having other projects on its plate.
If you don’t have Taog’s Hangar Alouette III for MSFS, you can get it here. Meanwhile, check out the changelog below and go update it if you are already a proud owner.
