    "description": "FWX Heli Flight Dynamics & Rotor Effects: the flight dynamics add-on for every helicopter in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with rotor shadow and rotor blade haptics\n\nThe helicopter no longer holds itself in the hover. It comes alive under the pilot and wants to be flown.\n\nWhat is this package? Three add-ons for helicopters in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with the flight dynamics at their heart. It does not move the camera, it moves the machine: every reaction is generated in the same moment from the simulator's flight data and your control inputs. The simulator's flight model is not replaced, it stays in force. The flight dynamics work on every helicopter, the rotor shadow on seven types, and the rotor blade haptics work through an audio device in your seat.\n\nThe flight dynamics: the hover and the flight becomes work again\n\nOver the spot you are aiming for, the machine no longer holds itself there. It wants to be held, and it shows you that every second. Pitch, roll and climb follow the actual attitude of the aircraft, and your control inputs have an immediate effect on its behavior.\n\nSeamlessly on into translational flight\n\nThe transition from the hover into translational flight is seamless, with no jump and no switching. Every direction is treated the same way: forward, sideways, backward. The aerodynamic influences and the pilot's influences become clearly noticeable.\n\nEverything happens in the same moment\n\nAirspeed, attitude, control deflection: every reaction is generated continuously from the simulator's flight data and your inputs, at every moment of the flight. Nothing is pre-calculated, nothing is played back.\n\nThe simulator's flight model stays in force\n\nWe do not replace it. It keeps calculating exactly as intended, our technology reads those values and adds extra motion on top. Everything is executed by the simulator itself. The original data is left untouched.\n\nTuned to your machine and your taste\n\nYou decide how far it goes, and you decide it in flight. That applies to every helicopter in the simulator, including types from other developers.\n\nStrength infinitely variable from zero to full, at any second of the flight\n\nEach axis can be switched on individually\n\nHover and forward flight can be adjusted separately\n\nProfiles you can save for each helicopter type\n\nTested presets for the simulator's own types, your own values for helicopters from other developers\n\nThe factory setting can be restored per helicopter at any time\n\nAlso in the package: the rotor shadow, the shadow add-on for seven types\n\nThis part brings the shadow of the turning rotor back to where the simulator drops it. On seven well-known types it is there at first and then disappears completely above a certain rotor speed. For exactly those seven the package brings it back, following the rotor speed: on the ground, on the fuselage and on the surroundings, tilting with the machine, main and tail rotor shown separately instead of one dark blob. Each of the seven types has been calibrated individually for it.\n\nAirbus H125\n\nAirbus H135 (EC135)\n\nAirbus H225\n\nGuimbal Cabri G2\n\nRobinson R66\n\nSikorsky S-64 Skycrane\n\nBoeing CH-47 Chinook, both rotors\n\nAlso in the package: the rotor blade haptics, which make the rotor felt in your seat\n\nThe haptics make the rotor felt in your own body. They send the rotor beats as deep pulses to an audio device that works in the seat or on the seat frame and that Windows recognizes as a playback device. So you do not just hear the rotor, you feel it, and every type feels different.\n\nIn detail: instead of a uniform hum that feels like a washing machine, you feel every single blade passage. The beat follows the real rotor speed, with two to eight pulses per revolution depending on the type, from the two-bladed R66 to the six-bladed S-64 Skycrane.\n\nAll of the simulator's stock helicopters are included automatically, you do not have to set anything up for that. On helicopters from other developers the haptics detect the rotor blades on their own, and anyone who still wants to do it themselves can set them by hand there. Without such an audio device, though, there is nothing to feel. If you do not want to use the haptics, you leave them off and still have the full package.\n\nBased on our market overview, there is currently nothing for MSFS 2024 that makes helicopter flight behavior more immersive and adjustable in this form.\n\nReviewed by SimFlight, Threshold, MSFS Addons and MSFS Gateway.\n\nWhat it cannot do\n\nIt does not replace any flight model and does not rewrite any flight model files.\n\nThe flight dynamics work on helicopters only, not on airplanes.\n\nThe rotor shadow works on the seven types listed only, all others are left untouched.\n\nThe UH-1 and the Bell 407 do not need it, they have their rotor shadow out of the box.\n\nFor the haptics you need an audio device in the seat or on the seat frame that Windows recognizes as a playback device. Without such an audio device there is nothing to feel.\n\nThe pulses go to that audio device as an audio signal, not to your speakers.\n\nThis package changes nothing about the simulator's sound.\n\nWorks with your other add-ons\n\nCompatible with ChasePlane and FSRealistic: those two work on camera and sound, this package works on the flight behavior underneath. Camera tools apply their values on top, undisturbed.\n\nNo changes to the aircraft files.\n\nRuns alongside your own liveries and other utilities.\n\nRequires Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.\n\nOperated from the toolbar inside the simulator, in mid-flight\n\nA full control panel sits in the simulator's toolbar , exactly where you open every other panel as well. One click and it is in the cockpit in front of you. In the FWX Manager each of the three add-ons has its own tab, each with a master switch and the sliders below it. Every slider takes effect immediately, without a restart. No second window, no switching to the desktop.\n\nVR compatible\n\nIn virtual reality everything works exactly the same, because we move the machine and not the picture. And because the panel sits inside the simulator, it stays reachable with the headset on: adjust in flight without taking the headset off.\n\nInstallation and uninstallation\n\nInstallation runs through a click-through installer, and the package then starts automatically with the simulator. You can uninstall in two ways: through our own FWX application or through the Windows program list.\n\nUpdates\n\nFree updates, new features included. If another helicopter without a rotor shadow appears in the simulator, it is added free of charge with an update.\n\nAlso available as a bundle\n\nThese three add-ons are also available together with our sound pack, and the sound pack is available on its own:\n\nFWX HELICOPTER ALL-IN-ONE BUNDLE MSFS24 : everything from this package plus the EC135 Real Turbine Sound Mod.\n\nFWX EC135 REAL TURBINE SOUND MOD MSFS24 : the turbine sound of the EC135, works on that type only.\n\nMore information: finnwestx1.com",
