- Moved many unrealistic settings and options to the CONFIG page on the tablet
- You may now open all 6 doors individually, see the doors page
- Tablet now has AP page for AP functions
- Tablet now has SPOT Light page
- Tablet now has DOORS page
- Tablet now has LIGHTS page (duplicated from Overhead panel, for VR users)
- Removed tablet/GTN MFD Home/PFD Home, all flight planning and PFD stuff is under "Flight"
- MISC page removed, all functions are now on tablet
- Battery/Avionics switches moved to the overhead
- MISC page now has a baggage compartment "camera"
- Add a basic GPU model
- Ground Trajectory Command Hover. Hold a GPS position. Engage on AP page.
- Fixed audio arrows overlapping EFB on tablet/GTN
- Add various state triggers to Tablet CONFIG page (engines off, ready for takeoff, cold & dark, fail engines in flight)
- Add main display shrouding
- Fix EPU plug showing after engine start
- Fix EPU staying connected in the air
- Dirty footprints removed from interior carpet
- Various other textures fixed
- Add BARO softkey (activate + use knob to tune) to FND
- Fixed Minimums display on FND
- Magenta ball is behind green ball when in GTC.H. Marks the target position.
- Update documentation
- Upgrade antitorque pedals to a much higher quality version by @GBZH35
- Add an offline EFB
- Add a warning for left click on ENG switches

Wow, when does Dave and gang sleep?

I'm loving flying around Colorado, landing on a peak somewhere, getting out of my chair with the VR headset on and walking around the heli while looking out at the view. Just amazing

sorry if I shouldn't be posting this here but I still cannot seem to properly setup separate throttle and collective.

No matter what I assign, the collective (prop pitch in sim) does nothing and the throttle assignment appears to influence both throttle and collective. Any ideas? 

It's quite a shame about this as I can fly helicopters correctly in XP11 and P3D but not in MSFS..

@AP6200 Join our Discord server and use the Feedback channel for precise information. Remember this is not the same as what you may find in other sims. The correct binding to your controllers plays a very important part as if you fly in advance mode, it's all about torque!.

Hi AP6200 - (at the time of writing this) I believe it's no longer necessary to assign prop pitch axis to anything. Throttle axis needs to be mapped to your collective controller. Once in the heli, use the mouse scroll wheel to toggle between engine idle and engine run, which will engage the rev governor. there are 2 engine switches, but you only need to toggle one of them

I don't think it's possible to run fully manual throttle (no gov)

Dav on discord is extremely helpful and doesn't appear to ever sleep.  You're likely to get a quick response to your questions

I could be wrong but I don't believe the throttle and collective are separate in this version...I just run with throttle control and pitch the helicopter forward or back to move

early versions used (propeller pitch) keys to replicate FADEC effect. Now FADEC is toggled with the switches on dash. Only 1 axis is needed for operation - Throttle (not throttle 1 or throttle 2, etc) Throttle axis is your collective.

@jimcarrel: Hi, would it be too much to ask for a screen shot with that FADEC button marked out for nobies? I downloaded the latest version (0.85) but I'm blind, can't find that FADEC button. I've seen it in some youtube videos, but can't find it in this new version. Thank you :)

If I recall. It’s the engine switches that turn on the FADEC. Not at all obvious. 

By engine switches you mean the 2 switches which are next to ventilation and inop manual switch? Tried that , not working. Throttle is mapped, propeller was mapped and then mapping was removed, still not working, can't get it off the ground. For the record I'm using the Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog. Any idea is highly appreciated 🙂 Thank you.

Its quite straight forward to startup.  However, after putting on the battery master, be sure you have forward (FWD) and Aft fuel pumps on which are now on the overhead. This has been a newer integration.   After the initial power on self test, the 2 engine switches in the middle are 3 way.  OFF, Start Idle, and after it stabilised, another switch up will essentially turn on the FADEC and bring the rotors up to speed.   When you move your throttle (now being the collective) it will increase the throttle as well and you should lift off.  

As of version at time of writing this....

Put your mouse pointer over either pink/yellow FLIGHT switch and use the scroll wheel to switch it. It enables the FADEC when in fly / run (up) position. You'll hear the revs increase.

Hi, Thank you for the help, I will try after I'm done working for today.

But, that is pretty much what I did yesterday. I've seen those switches, used the mouse scroll, RPM was increasing, but still can't lift off. The throttle was still doing what a throttle is supposed to do - increase decrease the RPM. I will try later with a cold dark startup and take it from there, there could be something wrong in the basic Ctrl+E startup. 

Sorry if you've already mentioned it,

Is the controller you wish to use as a collective mapped to "propeller Axis"?

It won't work if mapped to "propeller axis 1" or "propeller axis 2"

There are 3 propeller axis in total. It caught me out initially.
