Airbus H145 Light/Intermediate Helicopter

Nearly to scale H145 (BK117D3 5 blade model) dual engine, with a Helionix lookalike avionics suite.

Passenger compartment made with headroom as artistic liberty.

Capabilities:
SAR
Cargo Underslung and limited cabin space.
PAX
VIP Flights
Offshore missions
Weapons provisions ready (weapons not provided).

Designed as multi mission capable with lots of polish and flexibility based on and built during a maintenance engineer typerated training. Design close to 1:1 dimensions and avionics inspired by the real cockpit setup. Some limitations apply.
It's purpose is to be a great base model helicopter that can be rebuilt and painted into medevac, police or military models.

  • BAT MSTR (overhead panel)
  • Start desired engines (Instrument panel: FLIGHT IDLE OFF)

  • Set lights overhead panel as desired.
  • Set monitor configuration as desired. (MFD 1 can be changed to VMS display for single pilot operations).



Autopilot:
  • ARM FIRST (Center console AP panel).

    ALTITUDE CONTROL
  • Input altitude from keypad: activate ALT from AP panel.

    FLIGHT MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR SYSTEM
  • Input waypoint from ingame map through keypad or clicking on map screen: Activate DIR from AP panel.
    This mode has collision avoidance and needs some altitude (>100m from nose of aircraft).

Intercompatible vehicle:
Frigg Carrier ship

Tips:
  • Fuel and power graphic can be clicked for detailed info on VMD page. Center monitor only.
  • Flies just as well on 1 engine, further fuel savings from reducing power on RECONFIG page.
  • Plug in external power to avoid having to use battery backup (when parking a while).
  • To avoid accidentally inputting waypoint on map screen, long press buttons: R (radar) T (Transponder locator) < X > (MFD page selector).
  • Recommend high physics settings.

Notes:
  • The cargo volume can be visualized by that it can contain the largest warhead. A custom shape will grant even more space.
  • Build time aprox. 5 weeks, 1300 logged game hrs total.
  • Is this multiplayer friendly? Untested but keep in mind, it's chock full of logic and LUA.
  • Feel free to use any subcomponent in your creations, I will appreciate a credit only.

Please do not reupload without permission. Variations of creations is appreciated with a credit, and it'd be cool to see what you made.

Updates:
  • Head mounted display with V1 lite PFD overlay and attitude stabilized camera function added. Settings on ACC MFD page.
  • Autoland safety mechanizm will no longer attempt to plummet into the depths of the ocean if aircraft is ditched during flight. It will now attempt to hover 1 meter above the ocean.
    Note that on this craft the autoland is a dead-man's switch and only activated if no player is present, it will disable autopilot director and set altitude.

Hey, Whack AL is doing a competition and I just wanna see how well I can use and redo a helicopter, may I try making an oil rig version? It would be in an oil rig competiton potentially and I would credit, also I may try making each version of the H145.

See the instructions: Minimum for flight. Battery switch overhead panel, then click the monitor where it says flight idle off.
