Cowan Simulation – MD Helicopters 500E v2.0.0

Changelog
v2.0.0:
– A new manual was included. 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)
– Idle stop (see manual)
– Search light (see manual)
– Increased the range of motion for the search light. Left/Right/Up/Down
– Enhanced the search light beam intensity, cone, and range.
– 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 of your settings will be the same as your last flight.
– Trim was fixed and a trim release button was added. (see manual)
– Added an option to remove the front and rear doors independently.
– Added click spots to remove doors in addition to the weight and balance settings.

Description
The CowanSim 500E is our newest edition and now available on PC. At Cowan Simulation we strive for perfection and continuously update our fleet using valuable feedback from pilots around the world.

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 and idle stop 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. 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 addon folder.

Options like the Cineflex camera, passengers, spray kit, spotlight and more are available through the weight and balance settings window. Your settings will be saved for your next flight.

The 500E comes with 63 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.
