I loaded it in the sim. Following instruction ran executable and MSFS CTD. Anyone had this problem?

Someone was reporting a similar sounding problem on the RSP Discord. Anything helpful in windows event log and do you see the same with the community folder empty apart from the R44 ?

Given my recent experience with MSFS CTD's when some aircraft are dependent on certain control bindings, I'd try making a new plain-vanilla profile for you joystick, throttle and (maybe just to be sure) rudder pedals by duplicating the default profiles and see if that might help.  It seems that it's possible over time to create control bindings that cause conflicts.  Sounds crazy but it fixed a CTD I had with the Husky after SU5.

I'm curious to know how well this freeware version compares to the payware in terms of graphic fidelity, modeling and flight dynamics?

Can't load MFS with the AirLandFS and R44 in the Community folder 😕

 i tried this but it wouldn't take off. is there a setting to get it off the ground? Is there a brake somewhere?

Later...Wait, i see there are instructions I have to follow I just noticed

When you say payware do you mean the Vskylabs R44 for XP ?

Don't know which payware you're referring to, but it's still fairly basic graphically, modellings is not bad, only had a quick look at it though because.....  far too busy flying it 🙂   Flight dynamics are very good already, as expected considering the source of them.  Way more convincing than the H135/145. in the same ballpark as the Bell47G.

It's only an Alpha version anyway and has months of development before a V1 release. (they reckon it's 5% done 😄 ) I'm absolutely convinced it'll be amazing when finished.

AirLandFS.exe does not go in your community folder.  Leave it inside the R44 folder, which itself does go in your community folder, and make a shortcut to AirLandFS.exe on your desktop.   Then start MFS, start a flight with the R44, and then fire up AirLandFS.exe.  

 

It actually ended up working after moving the AirLandFS out of the R44 folder.

I had already created the link, but it didn't work, and MFS simply took forever to work.

Was finally able to test it... Well, interesting, that's about all I can say :-(

Be sure to set the sensitivities n'stuff as per the documentation.  With that, I think its the nicest flying Sim helo I've ever flown.

 

While I got quite good taming the E135 (even using the advanced setting) after some training, there seems to be now way I can get the R44 into the air without toppling over quickly. Settings as suggested.

The flight model must be excellent.🤣

Kind regards, Michael

The only problem I've had with it is after 10-15 min. of flight it just falls out of the sky. Seems like after a period of time something dis-connects it with the flight model program. That's happened on both flights. Reason I think that is because before you start the .exe, it won't fly.

i sure hope h145 flies like it's on rails compared to a r44 or b47, just as a fbw airbus doesn't fly like a cessna cub.  a modern twin turbine with sas and afcs does not fly like a b47 nor behaves like the fsx dodosim model.  the h145's flight model is pretty decent as it stand now, those who knock it are equating instability with fm accuracy.

glad Fred was able to transfer his great work on HTR to MFS, it definitely improved the flight characteristics of all those Cera models i had in the past.  it was interesting to develop fm profiles for HTR.

  

I set 60% for flight model....wow very lovely!
