Cowan Simulation has expanded its offerings in the Microsoft Flight Simulator world with the release of two new helicopters, the R22 and H130. Both models are now available for PC on the Flightsim.to Store.
CowanSim R22 Helicopter
Known for its agility and versatility, the R22 is a popular choice for flight training and personal use in the real world. CowanSim’s digital version reflects this by incorporating detailed flight dynamics that have been pilot-tested and approved. A notable feature of the R22 model is the use of persistence code, which allows for settings such as weight and balance, as well as visible options, to be saved between flights. This, along with a throttle that can be mapped to hardware, ensures a more personalized and streamlined flying experience. The helicopter also includes a comprehensive manual, both within the package folder and available online.
CowanSim’s R22 comes with 22 liveries and an easy-to-use paint kit available in GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, and Blender formats. Additionally, the helicopter includes realistic systems, animated passengers, and a fully dynamic sound pack. The R22 Helicopter is priced at $24.99 excl. VAT on the Flightsim.to Store and available now.
CowanSim H130 Helicopter
The CowanSim H130, also known as the EC130, is a single-engine helicopter widely used for passenger transport, medical evacuations, and sightseeing tours. Version 1.0 of the CowanSim H130 brings this versatile aircraft to life with realistic flight dynamics, detailed 3D modeling, and high-quality textures.
Like the R22, the H130 uses persistence code to maintain your settings between flights. The model also supports custom throttle bindings, with all other default bindings functioning seamlessly. With 50 liveries available, pilots have a wide range of customization options, and the included paint kit allows for further personalization. The H130 also features various panel variants, including integration with popular avionics systems like the PMS GTN 650/750 and TDS GTNXi. Among the many features of the H130 are animated floats, optional downwash effects, and a functional Cineflex camera. The helicopter’s dynamic sound pack and VR readiness further enhance the realism of this model. The H130 Helicopter is priced at $29.99 excl. VAT on the Flightsim.to Store and available now.
