Cowan Simulation has released its latest helicopter for Microsoft Flight Simulator, the R66. Announced just a month ago, this launch marks the sixth helicopter release for MSFS from Cowan, who has become one of the most prolific rotorcraft developers on the platform.
Cowan Simulations claims that the R66 has been developed considering real-world pilot feedback. The product uses the Microsoft Flight Simulator SDK, ensuring full compatibility and integration with the simulator without needing external flight models.
The R66 comes with a variety of customization options, including 51 liveries. Additionally, CowanSim provides a paint kit in GIMP and Adobe Photoshop formats, along with a Blender model, which will be useful for those interested in creating custom liveries.
The package includes a detailed manual with clear instructions and answers to common questions regarding hardware bindings. An online manual and checklist are also available at CowanSim.com/manuals-checklists.
The complete feature list is available below and includes support for the popular GTN/GTNXi 650/750 from PMS50 and TDS, working circuit breakers, persistent state-saving, VR compatibility, and more.
The Cowan Simulation R66 is now available exclusively from CowanSim.com, priced at $29.99. Xbox and PC Marketplace versions will also be available soon.
