X-Rotors - Agusta Westland AW139 (AB139) for X-Plane

Includes version 3.5.1

For X-Plane 10 Only

The AW139 is a new generation medium twin-turbine helicopter designed with inherent multi-role capability and flexibility of operation. It is capable of carrying up to 15 passengers or six litters with four medical attendants at the highest speed, in the most spacious cabin and with the best power reserve of any other helicopter in the medium twin-engine class. The AW139 covers a wide range of applications including EMS, offshore transport, VIP transport and paramilitary roles.

• Superior 3D model with realistic shiny textures and high/low speed rotors
• Low number of polygons to reduce calculations and get the highest frame rate
• Photoreal panels (main, interseat and overhead)
• Tons of animated details like doors, switches, wipers and even seatbelt and no smoking signs
• IFR capable, autopilot, full NAVCOM radios, keypad transponder, FMS computer, hydraulic circuit control
• Extremely accurate flight model to feel in your hands the medium-weight of the machine
• Tested and approved by real Era Helicopters AW139 pilot
• Fictional 102% switch on the collective lever to perfectly follow a real AW139 check-list
• Sampled AW139 cabin and outside sounds to get the same feeling of the real aircraft
• Claimed by everyone as a real amazing machine for X-Plane!

Changes in version 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 include:

• Platform compliance for X-Plane at 64-bit for Mac, Windows and Linux machines
• Correction on the HSI both arc and full compass mode when no DME is available
• Correction on the PFD when uncoupling UCPL, the UCPL label is now persistent
• Corrected fuel leak on the fuel feed management system when set at NORM position
• Corrected fuel feed logic, now perfectly simulated along with its status indicator
• Corrected fuel feed management switch, default position is now NORM as in reality
• Refined tail rotor 3D geometry
• Various bug fixes
• New primary and multi-function displays simulating the Honeywell Primus Epic interface
