It absolutely uneventful for me after update - no freezes, no crashes

Anyone experience this after patch?

Check this thread

Didn't they say they wont implement WX radar?

Don't they have EFB with option to retrofit it with PMS? At least there is in one for AS365

Another 6 years and we will see release candidate :(

Let’s hope they will fix route offsets and intermittently disappearing approach flight path on ND. It’s good product but a lot of little bugs makes it at times hard to bear. Especially fishing ATS constant over/under shooting selecting speed.

I took it for 2 hours flight no CTD. So far so good

I tried a flight plan and I'm still getting autopilot nav offset the course needle

So tried using PMS GPS since it worked . I setup “direct to path” to waypoint 70 miles away. Set NAV and let autopilot follow GPS path . Autopilot followed path ok for first few miles then it started slowly deviating to the left . As further helicopter fly as father deviation went. Did someone else notice that ?

I found problem of my troubles. Usually when I set up hardware profile it automatically associated with all aircraft variants. But this is not the case with AS65, because I mixed with profiles. And when I discovered it, I had to associate AS65 profile for each variant . Now helicopter flyers as expected, so I’m happy camper

What "fly through off" option does? I read manual and I don't get it

I did correct binds with help above (in this thread) I'm still experience very odd behavior . I was successful to use autopilot only once. I'm not sure what I did wrong after, but it simply wouldn't work. if I let go of controls with engage CPL with both ALT HDG helicopter neither holding altitude not heading. Then, I experience random uncommanded jolts, banks, sudden pitching up and down. It looks almost like severe turbulence, but I can't figure what causing it. Could it be something odd behavior of autopilot serves? I have no idea. TDS is also inoperable for me. It doesn't link to HSI in nav mode, rendering it useless for me

I see on discord people experiencing issues like me. Helicopter does random uncommanded jolts, banks, pitching up or down . They come and go . Basically it's unflappable for me.

I'm pretty sure whoever tested it was using very short simple routes which didn't expose a lot of issues. Definitely this release is more like public beta.

I have all kind of problems with FMS. It abruptly stop following route randomly, even though I deleted discontinuity. ATS is wonky, flight path not aligned with "miniature" airplane and etc. I filed support ticket with different issue, but got response "we unable to replicate" very frustrating. F70 and F100 are flyable but each flight is buggy "adventure". Also F70-100 are missing GPS, so no RNAV approaches which limit ops significantly.

Thanks for the help. I did what you wrote, but flying is still a mess. When press trim release helicopter hold attitude for few second then pitch up abruptly up. Situation is getting proportionally worse with increased speed. It seems works better with speed below 60kts

I have mapped force trim , trim release and other mapped. The problem I have is that neither trim doesn’t work. If I accelerate I have to physically hold stick forward and unable to trim helicopter. With other Thao’s helicopters I never had a problem like that .

Thank! Manual states wiper control on collective button. I tried to press all buttons on collective but nothing make wipers works

Perhaps I'm doing something but this helicopter is totally unflyable for me. Trim doesn't work, autopilot lit but doesn't do anything. Force trim doesn't work, trim reset doesn't work for me. The best I can do is hover. Any application of speed require my stick hold in full forward position. Not sure what make of it...

Is there a manual? I can't figure out how to turn wipers on. I found switch "wipers slow/fast", but it doesn't do anything

I did another test flight with F70, KCRQ-KSFO I didn't experience any pitching moment when I disconnected autopilot . I had some crosswind around 10 kts during landing . I disengaged autopilot 1000 AGL. Approach was stable without any problems.

I'm not sure what I need to clean - it's a fresh install! If you have not experiences it doesn't mean there is no problem. Bugs happens no matter how much test you put.

Second flight in F100 was a bit disaster. I was making return trip LAS KCRQ and upon switching DIR to JLI autopilot froze and wouldn't response to my command. TOD was gone. So I opted to use LVL CHG which didn't work at all. No matter what button I push NAV PROF remain lit. There some serious bugs. Not sure if it exclusive to F100 but also F70.
