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.

SUPPORTED HELICOPTERS, EACH ONE MEASURED INDIVIDUALLY:

- 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
- Turns with the real rotor speed
- Tilts with the aircraft
- Main rotor and tail rotor handled separately
IN-SIM CONTROL PANEL:
- A full control panel right in the simulator toolbar
- One click and it is in front of you in the cockpit, in mid-flight
- 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.
