CowanSim H125/AS350B3e v2.0 Updated Release

The CowanSim H125 v2.0 is our newest edition and is now available on PC and Xbox. At Cowan Simulation we strive for perfection and continuously update our fleet using valuable feedback from pilots around the world. The H125, and subsequent releases, will continue to be developed using that valuable information. Please remember that updates take time. All good things take time. :-)

CowanSim 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.

The throttle on this model can be mapped to your hardware. All other bindings are functional as well. This helicopter uses persistence code to save your weight and balance settings, as well as all visible options/models, for your next flight. You will need to set the weight and balance options when the helicopter is loaded, and when the flight is started by using the menu bar weight and balance window. Please read the manual that comes with this helicopter, it will answer a lot of your questions and has a clear explanation for all hardware bindings. The manual is located inside of the package folder. For your convenience (and for Xbox users), there is an online manual and checklist that you can find at: https://CowanSim.com/manuals-checklists/

The H125 comes with 100 liveries, and an easy-to-use paint kit is provided in GIMP and Adobe Photoshop formats. A Blender model is also provided for all the 3D painters out there.

Thank you for the support!

The H125 is a single-engine, light-duty civil utility helicopter manufactured by European rotorcraft producer Airbus Helicopters. Its main rotor system has three blades and it uses a 2-blade anti-torque tail rotor. The helicopter accommodates up to six, including pilot.

France’s Aérospatiale developed the initial platform, and based it on their Alouette II and it was subsequently produced by Eurocopter. Called the AS350 Écureuil (Squirrel), the rotorcraft took its maiden flight on June 27, 1974 and was introduced in 1975. The H125 has seen a wide variety of uses, both commercial and military, and is renowned for its high density altitude performance. One touched down briefly on the summit of Mount Everest (29,030 feet above sea level) in 2005, and a number of others have landed (and then re-launched) from the summits of other notable high mountains throughout the world.

The H125, which has a fuselage length of 35 feet, 10 inches and a rotor system diameter of 35 feet, 1 inch, is powered by a Turbomeca Arriel 2B turboshaft engine that produces up to 950 shaft horsepower at take-off. The helicopter’s light weight (2,588 pounds empty) combined with the high-output powerplant and 3-blade main rotor system gives it its legendary performance. It has an in-ground effect hover ceiling altitude of 13,250 feet above sea level, an out-of-ground effect hover ceiling of 12,600 feet above sea level, and a maximum flight altitude of 23,000 feet above sea level. It has an endurance of 4 hour, 30 minutes, a cruising speed of 160 miles per hour, and a range of 390 miles.

The Airbus Helicopters H125, which features a utilitarian cockpit that grants exceptional visibility, is a favorite of rotary wing aviators. Efficiently designed, this machine is a workhorse, whether at sea level or thousands of feet aloft.

UPDATE v2.1 - 05/30/24

Fixed the search light from being stuck on when the taxi light was on too.
Fixed other small bugs with the weight and balance options.
Fixed some FLT issues that were causing problems depending on how the fight was started.
The fuel pump is not on by default when loading cold and dark now. (engine not running)
Glass panel G3X screens are brighter and can be adjusted with the “INST. LIGHTS” potentiometer.
Multiplayer sounds were fixed to sync up the engine and rotor sound distances.
SU15 governor code requirements updated to fix any governor issues.
Changed the functionality of the LIMIT annunciator light to more realistic behavior.

UPDATE v2.0 - 02/08/24

A new manual was included, and the online version can be found at https://cowansim.com/manuals-checklists/. Please read it! 90% of questions can be answered and that saves us time. If something does not work right now, there is a reason it doesn’t work. It’s either FPS related or simply not possible right now.
All hardware bindings are fixed, and several were added. See the manual to learn how to map them all.
Some important ones added:
Throttle (see manual)
Search light (see manual)
The Nr and N2 increase with power requested now (collective input), like the real thing. Engine trim (beep switch) is done automatically.
Increased the range of motion for the search light. Left/Right/Up/Down
Enhanced the search light beam intensity, cone, and range.
Search light changed to “wing lights” to separate binding from landing or taxi lights.
The G3X glass panel was added as an option.
The PMS GTN 650 & 750 and TDS GTNXi 650 & 750 were added as options. These are two different freeware and payware 3rd party products that must be installed separately. Once installed they will show up and work.
Persistence code was added to save your weight and balance, and options configuration after shutting down. So, when you load your next flight all your settings will be the same as your last flight. You must change the weight and balance options while the helicopter is loaded, and the flight is started, or it will overwrite the values with the last flight values. Don't use the main menu to do this.
Trim speed changes were fixed.
Added an option to remove the front doors independently.
Added an option to remove the vertical reference window on the floor.
Changed pilot/passenger weights for visibility to 170 lb / 77kg.
Fuel consumption was fixed to reflect real world usage.
Fuel consumption readout on the VEMD updates slower for better visibility.
Fixed the shadows in the cockpit.
FLT files adjusted.
Fixed/added cyclic handling for VR users.
Electrical systems were enhanced.
Camera views were added and fixed.
Interior lighting was enhanced.
Some animations added and fixed.
Some fixes/additions to textures and modeling.
Minor flight model improvements.
Recalibrated assistance options. (assisted tail rotor and cyclic)
Added blender model to package for 3D painters.
