Stephen Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 News! - Aircraft Update : UH-1 V1.5 "Huey" by Nimbus Simulations Nimbus Simulations have done a massive update to their excellent UH-1 "Huey" helicopter. The changelog (below) is simply huge and the announcement that a civil version of the helicopter was “probably” being released in a month... The UH-1 is a utility military helicopter powered by a single Lycoming T53-L-11 turboshaft engine, 1,100 shp (820 kW), with two-blade main and tail rotors. It was the first member of the highly prolific Huey family, it was developed by Bell Helicopter to meet a United States Army's 1952 requirement for a medical evacuation and utility helicopter, and first flew in 1956. UH-1H is the most-produced Huey version, and is the representative of all the various types. This aircraft was the improved UH-1D with the uprated Lycoming T53-L-13 engine of 1,400 shp (1,000 kW) and overall 5435 UH1H's were built. What is new in v1.5 -force trim -trim -radioalt manipulators -extra helps on the joystick window -manipulator to copilot menu -rotor demo mode -manipulator to throttle -radio and copilot horizon glass -pull to cage knob -VR controls for cyclic and collective -windows to context and not subpanel (multimonitor and VR support) -GPS -Avitab -Menus -ground dust option -search light -engine fire even with always like new--[FIXED] -startup button not working--[FIXED] -8.33 on the old radios --[FIXED] -copilot visibility independent from pilot--[FIXED] -strange manipulator behavior--[FIXED] -added manipulator to all switches--[FIXED] -doors state saved by clicking the door too, not only the doors window. --[FIXED] -RPM alarm should sound all the way down. --[FIXED] -move heads ---[FIXED] -rudder behavior--[FIXED] -moving while on the ground --[FIXED] -tail rotor size--[FIXED] -rotor blades when stopped, add flex and reduce coning. --[FIXED] -check tail geometry width--[FIXED] -new interior textures--[FIXED] -gauges green arch color--[FIXED] -gauge glass dust removed--[FIXED] -cabin lights texture--[FIXED] -tint overhead plexy from inside--[FIXED] -light knobs go to zero when no power --[FIXED]] -fix tachometer needles--[FIXED] -copilot and pilot cyclic boot --[FIXED] -governor switch marching ants --[FIXED] -tail tube use the same uv as fuselage--[FIXED] -hydraulic switch affect controls response--[FIXED] -stop writing stability datarefs--[FIXED] -fuel switch metal sides--[FIXED] -cb pilot--[FIXED] -Artificial horizon shadow not longer shown with lights on--[FIXED] -Main rotor hub size improved--[FIXED] -new main rotor mast textures--[FIXED] -rotor tilted when off--[FIXED] -Flight model improved That is a lot of changes. I loved the Nimbus Huey; Helicopter Review : Bell UH-1 Iroquois "Huey" by Nimbus Simulations a lot, but there was a few areas that still needed refining and attention, a sort of finishing off the initial development, so this extensive update will be interesting. _______________________________ The Bell UH-1 Iroquois "Huey" v1.5 by Nimbus Simulations is NOW available! from the X-Plane.Org Store Nimbus UH-1 Priced at US$37.95 All previous purchasers of the Nimbus UH-1, can update to version v1.5 for free, just go to your X-Plane.OrgStore account!
