This package includes both helicopters, the 222B & 222UT for X-Plane 11 & 12
Realistic Flight Dynamics
Tested by real world helicopter pilots while being developed. The model has an authentic feeling while exploring the virtual world, thanks to the pilots and Laminar Research for developing a fantastic flight
sim.
4k Physically Based Rendering Textures
4k PBR textures, or physically based rendering, provides the ability for very realistic lighting that mimics the flow of light in the real world. This model takes full advantage of X-Plane’s lighting with dynamic reflections and materials.
Custom 3D Modeled Instruments
Everyone loves a detailed and realistic looking cockpit. After all, that is where we spend most of our time in the sim, flying! The 3D instruments were developed to a high standard and are fully functional, with extensive custom coding to make it as realistic as possible.
A Nice Cozy Cabin
Sit back and relax in the cozy rear cabin and enjoy replays of your flight from a passenger’s perspective! Was it as comfortable and smooth as you thought it was from the pilot seat? This is especially interesting in VR and landing replays are the best.
Paint Kit & Liveries
Each model comes with 20 liveries and we also included a detailed paint kit. The kit is provided in both GIMP and Adobe® Photoshop® formats. A UV map layer included in each file allows for easy and accurate repaints.
Vibrant and Detailed Night Lighting
X-Plane has wonderful night lighting. The 222 project aimed to have plenty of lights, inside and out, making night flights possible. From the landing lights to the cabin lighting, these helicopters really stand out at night. There’s also a fully functional searchlight that is controlled on the collective in the cockpit or can be mapped to your hardware controls.
Animation & Sound
Thousands of lines of custom code make up animations and systems. The fully immersive sound set was developed with FMOD. Sounds and animations work together with visual rotor-speed vibrational feedback, rattling, shaking and dynamic blade slap, rain effects and more.
Reality XP GTN 750 Integration
The Reality XP GTN 750 is fully integrated into the cockpit. This was released with the very first update since it was requested by many simmers. Reality XP GTN 750 Touch is the genuine simulated device used by flight simulation enthusiasts navigating the virtual skies as well as real world pilots for familiarization with the device. This add-on is a payware add-on and you can purchase it here: Reality XP
TL:DR - The Best Helicopter you can buy for X-Plane 11!
Model & Textures: Very sharp modeliing with some great detail throughout on both model. Cockpit looks fantastic with the option to change between a private passenger cabin and medical cabin at just the click of a button. Options to remove doors and change between grey or black interior.
Flight Model: Great flight model taking full advantage of XP's Experimental Flight Model creates a much more immersive experience compared to other Helicopter offerings.
Sounds: Very nice sound set included, no annoying sounds that would get on your nerves or give you ear ache.
Misc: Love the interactive menu that is included with the B222, reade the manual or checklist, change cabin configuration, remove doors, add GTN 750 and more options all at the click of a button. Cowans support is incredible and this Helicopter has recieved countless updates since its initial release!
Summary: Best helicopter for XP at this current moment in time, very user friendly, beginner friendly, but also packs a challenge for experienced heli pilots.
Overall - 10/10
