FWX Helicopter Rotor Blade Haptic - Feel every blade in your seat
Ordinary haptics send one steady vibration. That feels like a washing machine.
In a real helicopter you feel every single blade pass, and every type has its
own rhythm.
Reviewed by SimFlight, Threshold, MSFS Addons and MSFS Gateway.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- Windows 11
- A bass shaker, tactile transducer or ButtKicker
- A separate audio output for the device
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO:
- Without a bass shaker or tactile transducer there is nothing to feel
- No sound comes out of your speakers, only vibration into the device
- It changes nothing about the flight behavior and nothing about the visuals
WORKS ALONGSIDE YOUR OTHER ADD-ONS:
- Gets along with ChasePlane and FSRealistic
- Runs next to the FWX EC135 Sound Mod without getting in its way
- No changes to the aircraft files
FOR EVERY HELICOPTER, WITH THE RIGHT BLADE COUNT:
- Every pulse follows the real rotor speed from the simulator, no estimate (NEW in v2.0)
- Two to eight pulses per revolution, matched to the type (NEW in v2.0)
- The helicopter is detected automatically, no setup needed (NEW in v2.0)
- From the two-bladed R66 to the six-bladed S-64 Skycrane
WHAT YOU FEEL:
- On start-up single blade beats, slow enough to count along
- At medium rotor speed the uneven clatter of drooping blades
- At full rotor speed a continuous, steady bass beat
- Rotor brake with a run-down you can feel
CONTROLS:
- Its own window with a live rotor speed readout and visible pulses
- Sliders for volume, bass and pulse strength
- Device selection for setups with several outputs
- Settings are kept between sessions
NO HASSLE:
- Starts and stops with the simulator
- Stays silent in menus and loading screens
- Standalone program, no dependencies
- Proper Windows entry for a clean uninstall
Free updates, new features included.

INCLUDED: FWX Helicopter Rotor Shadow Mod
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FWX Helicopter Rotor Shadow Mod - The shadow that was missing
Seven helicopters in the simulator cast no rotor shadow. Others do. This mod
closes exactly that gap.
From the makers of the FWX EC135 Sound Mod, reviewed by SimFlight, Threshold
and MSFS Addons.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- Windows 11

- Airbus H135 (EC135)
- Airbus H225
- Guimbal Cabri G2
- Robinson R66
- Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane
- Boeing CH-47 Chinook, both rotors
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO:
- It works on the seven types above only
- Every other helicopter stays untouched, nothing changes there
- The UH-1 and the Bell 407 do not need it, they have their rotor shadow out of the box
- It changes nothing about the flight behavior and nothing about the sound
WORKS ALONGSIDE YOUR OTHER ADD-ONS:
- Gets along with ChasePlane and FSRealistic
- No changes to the aircraft files, no overwritten originals
- Runs next to your own liveries and other add-ons
WHAT YOU GET:
- Rotor shadow on the ground, on the fuselage and on the surroundings

- Tilts with the aircraft
- Main rotor and tail rotor handled separately

- No second window, no switch to the desktop, no Alt-Tab
- Master switch, on and off at any time
- Main rotor and tail rotor speed adjustable separately
- Every change takes effect at once, without a restart
- Settings are kept per helicopter
NO HASSLE:
- Starts automatically with the simulator
- Uninstalls cleanly through Windows
If the simulator gets another helicopter without a rotor shadow, it will be
added free of charge with an update.
