    • Minor fixes to Cyclic animation and PBR quality.
  • Sound:
    • Replaced old starter sound with a new one to support new key mechanism.

XP12 - v3.0e (10th May 2023):

  • Flight dynamics - tuneup for tail-rotor responsiveness (was too responsive for desktop twisting joystick devices in the yaw axis).

XP12 - v3.0/3.0a/3.0c (5th April 2023 / 6-7th April 2023):

    • Major overhaul all-around to fall in line with X-Plane 12 latest FDM updates.
    • New skids physics.
    • Governor operation refinements.
  • Systems:
    • Annunciator panel re-programed/re-wired to electrical system.
    • Dual systems altimeter (replacement of older altimeter).
    • Artificial Horizon implemented as an option (to follow the XP11 feature).
    • LSA autopilot re-wired to a new electrical/LED system.
  • Sounds:
    • New FMOD 2.0 sounds.
  • Visualization:
    • Interior/cockpit - remodeled with higher mesh resolution.
    • LSA autopilot 3-d model improvements.
    • Front panel remodeled with higher mesh resolution and improved textures.
    • Cyclic (stick) animation addition (compensation in roll axis).
    • Interior and exterior glass rework.
    • Rotor disc animation enhancements.
    • Liveries refinements.
    • Paint-Kit was added to the project.

XP12 - v2.2 (4th December 2022):
