CowanSim R66 v1.0.1 Initial Release

From the creator of helicopters for X-Plane, such as the 206B3, 206L3, 222B, 222UT, 500E and H125/AS350B3e, the CowanSim R66 is the newest addition to the Microsoft Flight Simulator fleet. Cowan Simulation strives for perfection and continuously updates their fleet using valuable feedback from pilots around the world. The R66, and subsequent releases, will continue to be developed using that valuable information. CowanSim's flight models are pilot tested, approved and developed with the Microsoft Flight Simulator SDK. No external flight model/dynamics or programs are used to provide a seamless user experience.

Options like the passengers and more are available through the weight and balance settings window. The R66 comes with 51 liveries, and an easy-to-use paint kit is provided in GIMP, Adobe Photoshop formats. A Blender model is also provided for the 3D painters.

The start-up checklist is in the main folder. There's also one in the cockpit for your convenience. There is an online manual and checklist that you can find at CowanSim.com.

Thank you for the support!
