I'm not sure if it will be in the initial release. I have to leave in June and running out of time fast.

May 20, 20233 yr Ahh. Well I asked them upon their first msfs release. Maybe they can do it because I like the 222. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
May 20, 20233 yr Nice heli, feels solid in the hover and handles well, good sounds and trims up very well for cruise flight. This one is really meant to take you places. Cameras views need work - pilot's eyepoint is off to the right of the seat (is it just me that gets bugged when it isn't centered over the seat?) and instrument views are completely taco'd. Cycling through them showed me various views of the pavement in front of the aircraft. "That's what" - She
May 20, 20233 yr Ha, took me about 15 minutes before I figured out how to allow for full throttle. I can be real dull, sometimes (okay, most times). It does feel nice and heavy and steady Edited May 20, 20233 yr by jimcarrel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz (8 cores) Hyper on, Evga RTX 3060 12 Gig, 32 GB ram, Windows 11, P3D v6, and MSFS 2020 and a couple of SSD's
May 21, 20233 yr Here's a download link for fixed cockpit views if anyone would like. I noticed the external views are also whacked but didn't touch 'em yet as they're not as critical. https://flightsim.to/file/55438/improved-cockpit-views-for-cowansim-bell-222b New default view (centered over the seat makes the pillar less intrusive on your view) Cockpit Instrument views: This view is set up for starting the engines - idle stop, throttle settings, start buttons and gauges all accessible / viewable: I uhh.... set this view up for easy access to what I sure hope is the rotor brake... hopefully Cowan Sim adds some textures to it...

It does feel nice and heavy and steady Can you bind the throttle to a lever or is it still a mouse thing ? edit : don’t bother the product page says it still a mouse thing 😏. I wonder why you can bind the Cabri throttle and no other heli ! Has this bird a governor ?

May 21, 20233 yr Just purchased but haven't flown it yet. If the trim behaves (small steps) I can live without an autpilot for now. PMS50 GTN integration would be a very worthwhile feature. What I'm hoping though is that the collective axis spans the full throw of the axis. For some reason - even when calibrated - some helicopters in MSFS only reflect a power change across maybe 60% of the axis. Makes it very annoying for landings or precise movements.
