- In our VA
- Uzbekistan Helicopters H125 fleet, live Orwell check 30 October 2026.
- This guide’s reference
- CowanSim H125 / AS350B3e reference. Microsoft/Asobo’s H125 is a different package.
- Simulator and version context
- Cowan describes its MSFS (2020) product as compatible with MSFS 2024. A native 2024 package was still described as planned at review.
Use the detailed Cowan references only when flying that package. Their HeloSAS and hardware instructions are not a claim about the Microsoft H125.

10 topics shown
01
Package, controls and trim
Make each hardware input belong to the actual helicopter.
Official referenceIdentify your H125
The Microsoft/Asobo and CowanSim H125 are separate implementations.Open this topic +
What to understand
- Microsoft/Asobo and Cowan H125 implementations have different options and controls.
- The Cowan reference describes AS350B3e equipment.
- Cowan’s documented MSFS 2024 compatibility is separate from a native-package release.
Bring it into your flight
Choose this Cowan reference only if that is the aircraft loaded.
Official reference
Read alongside: Product compatibility notice.
Official referenceCollective, throttle, cyclic and pedals
Understand the distinct flight-control inputs.Open this topic +
What to understand
- Collective and throttle are different functions.
- Cyclic and pedal axes need the intended direction and range.
- Check the actual aircraft control profile for duplicate assignments.
Bring it into your flight
Check axis direction and duplicate bindings on a dedicated aircraft profile.
Official reference
Read alongside: Mapping Your Hardware,pp 1–4.
Official referenceTrim and control feel
Study trim and force-trim behaviour for your hardware.Open this topic +
What to understand
- Spring-centred and non-centring hardware behave differently.
- Force-trim input and SAS attitude reference have separate roles.
- Know which reference is retained when a trim action ends.
Bring it into your flight
Distinguish stick centering from a selected SAS attitude.

Panels, load and navigation
Prepare the loaded configuration.
Official referencePower, fuel and starting references
Locate electrical, fuel and starting controls.Open this topic +
What to understand
- Locate the electrical, fuel and start controls in the actual Cowan cockpit.
- Observe the state expected by the supplied checklist.
- Keep start actions separate from completed system checks.
Bring it into your flight
Use the current supplied checklist rather than memorising generic helicopter switches.

Official referenceHydraulic checks and indications
Follow the H125-specific hydraulic-check reference.Open this topic +
What to understand
- Locate the HYD/ACCU checks in the H125 checklist.
- Know the indication each current check expects.
- Use the procedure matching the simulated equipment.
Bring it into your flight
Identify the expected indication beside each current-checklist item.
Official reference
Read alongside: HYD/ACCU Test.
Official referencePersistent loading and equipment
Inspect the actual loaded options and cabin weight.Open this topic +
What to understand
- Saved options can restore a different load than expected.
- Read the selected cabin and equipment state.
- Confirm fuel and mass/balance for the intended mission.
Bring it into your flight
Read back the in-aircraft load after persistence has restored its saved state.
Official reference
Read alongside: Accessing Options,pp 14–16.
03
Guidance and normal-flight reference
Use the source intended for this Cowan implementation.
Official referenceSAS and autopilot roles
Separate stability assistance from guidance modes.Open this topic +
What to understand
- SAS provides attitude assistance; it is not the same as a selected navigation mode.
- Monitor the control-panel state.
- Retain readiness to resume manual control if assistance disengages.
Bring it into your flight
Check active annunciations and retain manual-control readiness.
Official reference
Read alongside: Overview/SAS/Autopilot Modes.
Official referenceHeading, navigation and vertical modes
Study HDG/NAV/SPD/ALT/VRT interactions in the Cowan system.Open this topic +
What to understand
- Know the source selected before NAV.
- Distinguish HDG and NAV from the vertical SPD/ALT/VRT modes.
- Understand how the documented modes interact before combining them.
Bring it into your flight
State the selected source and controlling mode before an intercept.
Official reference
Read alongside: Autopilot Modes,pp 3–5.
Official referenceShutdown and abnormal references
Keep the linked normal/emergency reference available.Open this topic +
What to understand
- Use the current normal shutdown sequence.
- The full real-aircraft reference includes equipment-specific notes.
- Confirm which abnormal functions the simulator actually models.
Bring it into your flight
Use the current installed documentation; do not assume every real-aircraft failure is simulated.

Keep the scope beside the source.
A dedicated producer training-video course was not verified. The developer manuals and checklists form this guide’s primary path.
A linked full H125 checklist contains aircraft-specific equipment notes. Match the current simulator configuration and do not assume every real failure is simulated.
Source review and live VA fleet check: 30 October 2026. A reference implementation is not a declaration of your installed package or a local flight test. Current simulator-aircraft procedures and limits take precedence over older recordings and real-aircraft brochures.
