The EFB (tablet) can be used to adjust options, though some overlap issues persist.

CowanSim 222UT – Elegance Meets Performance
Introducing the CowanSim 222UT, a twin-engine helicopter crafted for precision, comfort, and versatility. With both luxury and medical (HEMS) configurations included, the 222UT is built to adapt to any mission while delivering a true-to-life flying experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The 222UT was refined through countless hours of feedback, coding, and testing to achieve the highest level of realism possible. Every detail—from startup procedure and the new auto pilot system was carefully crafted. Persistence systems ensure your weight, balance, and custom options carry over from flight to flight, and customizable throttle and idle stop bindings give you full control.
Take full advantage of the newly developed auto pilot system, designed to reduce pilot workload and improve handling.
