Wow, I fly this in MSF 2020. It's one of my favorite things to fly. I watched and was so geeked that I started things correctly (though not 100% in the order you did). So, I'll study this some more. I LOVE THIS HELICOPTER!!!!

@@Rotor-Sims Whoa… you’re really taking this seriously! 🤩 I’m lucky to be able to fly the real H145 so that I don’t have to put so much money on home sim 😅 I really like that when flying the H145 in MSFS20 I’m able to use almost all the buttons in their real positions in the controls. It really gives me the immerson of real flying. I just got myself Oculus Rift S VR’s and fighting to get it run aa smoothly as possible with my gaming laptop. Flying with VR is the most close to the real helicopter as it can get in home sim. If I only had the money to by a proper power PC to run it smoothly…

A.TRIM is switched off only if landing on a uneven surfaces.

Videos like this will be much appreciated by the simulator community as there is a H145 now for Microsoft Flight simulator 2020. :)

[@msinerva80]

Nice! The freeware H135-helicopter with Helionix in FS2020 is started the exact same way than this H145 :) I’m flying also FS2020 myself but not yet downloaded the H145 due the little bit expensive price.

[@GoosebumpRacing]

@@msinerva80 I see! What do you think about the H135 compared to the real deal? The H145 feels a bit too steady for me, but I have no experience in flying helicopters in real life so 😄

[@msinerva80]

@@GoosebumpRacing I think I can't give very useful answer because I don't have any proper controls.. just the cheapest Hama-joystick in the market :D But If you put the realism setting from the H135 tablet (attached to the front panel) to highest, I think you can get some kind of picture. I don't know if the H145 has this kind of steps of realism to choose from..? And by the way.. Helionix equipped helicopters are designed to fly with autopilot as much as possible, so trying to do everything manually might be even harder that in real life. Flying modern helicopter is more to use the system that flies the machine itself :)

[@GoosebumpRacing]

@@msinerva80 I see! Sounds like you have to invest in some proper equipment then! 😄 The H145 does have the different settings of realism as well! 😊 Yeah I kind of expected the modern helicopters to be more automated.

[@johnsantana601]

Am here for the same reason. 😆

[@dennismundt7378]

Thanks for the video and insight into their actions. It is their daily business and it is also true that a pilot is well trained. However, I'm still wondering whether you can't automate the start order and cooldown phase with all the actions shown in the video using an additional computer that monitors everything during the start process, turns it on and also turns it off if necessary. You could start and stop the helicopter like a car. The pilot can then concentrate more on the safety check and calibration of his instruments and then does not forget any switch in the take-off phase.

[@msinerva80]

Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼😊 This simple and grainy video I made during my short flight from a platform to the ground has gathered suprisingly much views comparing to all the other videos. If you wish, please check my other videos where I use my home simulator like the real helicopter, and explain all the procedures during startup, takeoff, landing and shutdown. This H145 startup procedure is actually very simple and moder way of start a turbine aircraft, compared to many others. The smaller EC135-version without Helionix is more manual when it comes for example malfunctions, like hot start or hang start during ignition. H145’s system automatically makes the restart after hang start, and aborts startup in case of hot start. Perhaps in the future there is possibility just to ignite the whole system with a button 😊 But I’d be a bit scared to start such a helicopter because you have to be all the time aware of the system and ready to abort what you are doing. And many of the overhead panel switches are separately considered to switch on or leaving off so automatic all on -action would be a bit hard to make happen.

Thank you so much for sharing - but what is the reason to start up a helicopter, just to lift it sideways and shut it down again?

[@msinerva80]

Thanks! I copied an anwer from the earlier comments: The mechanics had to do some helicopter system calibrations which are not able to be done when on a platform :) And emergency startups are waaay more faster than this kind of non-urgent startups.

[@jonwait]

Thank you for sharing! Big fan of the H145 on FS2020 and i was looking at FinnHEMS bases. However i heard H145 flying in icing conditions is a big no no, but i saw that FinnHEMS do fly in Finland whatever the condition is. Can you share anything regarding winter OPS ?

[@msinerva80]

Nice that you liked it! I like H145 also a lot. Just bought it for myself in FS2020 and getting familiar with the controls. Actually right now starting the game after downloading the FinnHEMS livery 🤩 Icing weather is totally no go because there is no de-icing in the helicopter. We are not able to fly in freezing precipitation or even with anything FZ on forecasts (METAR/TAF). I’ll try to catch something with the winter element but still waiting for the permission from FinnHEMS to capture action camera material from the emergency flights. Meanwhile you can go follow me on Instagram @msinerva. There is some footages from winter conditions too.

Pretty interesting that flight rpm can just be toggled by flipping a switch, always wondered why they didn't do it that way on modern helicopters, seems they actually do

Yes, couldn’t be much easier :) And the computer also controls the whole starting process for example by cancelling the startup in case of a hot start and by restarting in case of a flame out.

Thanks a lot for the great video! This is externally helpful for us Sim pilots ;) I am trying to learn the H145 in Xplane and still cannot get my head around the automation philosophy. Which modes have to be on in manual flying (e.g. Takeoff and landing) - backup SAS and Auto Trim?

[@msinerva80]

Nice to hear that you liked :) Perhaps you could get some help from my sim videos where I fly HEMS-missions using the automation. I tried to use it like I would use in real life. There are now few videos in english from HEMS-missions in MSFS :) But briefly… irl we always have the autopilot 1 and 2, Backup SAS and Auto trim switched on, so that the Master List at the bottom of the MFD 1 and 2 is empty from all yellow cautions, and no yellow lights on at the APCP (Autopilot Control Panel), where you switch the upper modes (HDG, ALT, IAS…) on and off. Auto trim is switched off when for example doing a landing on sloping terrain, so that the trim doesn’t try to counter act to the attempts to hold the helicopter on it’s skids. Hope this helped you :)
