Amazing video. A quick question, how do you trim H125? For somehow FTR is not working in MFS2024, since I have a normal joystick it's quite painful to fly H125 with consistent pressure on the joystick.

By the way, in 2024, even when there's not a parking spot defined, you can click on the ground and ask to start "shut down" or "ready for takeoff" - another small, but welcome, improvement over 2020.

Hardware utilization of 2024 is 10 times better. Helicopters finally behaves like helicopters, I'm very impressed. I can finally enjoy GotFriends Mini 500!! As with 2020 they released this sim in a very early state, we get to be beta testers now for years to come sadly... The Career is a mess, constantly getting dinged for doing things wrong because its broken and buggy, its still kinda fun but yeah, frustrating, and getting treated like an airplane in a helicopter is not fun. Granted, sometimes airports will treat helicopters like planes for different reasons, it does happen.

@@RotatingBombWithADogOnIt Not sure whether it's mandatory or not but You can use this rule as a quasi separation-scheme between VFR-birds. The + 500 is to keep You out of the way of commercial traffic. Anyway as I'm usually flying below 3000 feet AGL I don't use it much.

I fly the real 109SP and I must say from the previews I’ve seen so far this is very accurately modelled. Even sounds pretty much the same, but then I use ANR headsets so does dampen out much of the noise. BTW you can also tell if your U/C is down by not only the gear lights but also on the PFD in the centre you will see 3 in-line dots. Yes you correct…..always fly with AP1 and 2 engaged……in real life it’s more unstable then what I saw in your demo.

Strange enough there are some rotor sim pilots like me who prefer to fly without the SAS autopilot mode. On my extended joystick, the controls felt spot one in terms of sensitivity. I had the x-rotor A109 model for Xplane 11, enjoyed it alot. But abandoned the addon when I upgraded to Xplane 12, and this model seems to look alot better than x-rotor's A109 in some ways. Yet it's my opinion, and I have not even flown the B412 from x-trident either. But will pickup this model at a later stage :) Thanks for the brief review.
