Known for its intermeshing rotor system and exceptional lift capacity, the K-Max is the only helicopter that can lift more than its own weight. Dive into the innovative features and the rich history of this unique aircraft with three versions; Rainier Heli Lift, equipped with fire suppression tanks and a water siphon snorkel for realistic firefighting missions. Rotak Helicopter Services with a 140 foot/43 meter tethered Bambi bucket to simulate limited access aerial firefighting operations and VMUT-2 Night Owls, representing the K-Max in military service with the US Marines in Afghanistan in 2009, including an optional sling load for logistics missions.
Unique animations help increase immersion while the specialized water controls have been configured to trigger via the simulator’s default controls, allowing you to map these operations to your preferred controller inputs or hotkeys for intuitive use. Once onboard you'll see that vertical operations are conducted looking out the side window and we hope you'll enjoy the freedom of clicking your joystick or keyboard in this regard. Enjoy true-to-life Wwise audio recorded directly from actual K-Max aircraft.
The Kaman K-Max was first introduced in 1991 and was produced through 2003, with another production run started in 2016 that ran until 2022. It is renowned for its unique intermeshing rotor design which eliminates the need for a tail rotor. Initially developed for logging operations, its versatility soon saw it adapted for various heavy-lift tasks, including firefighting and military logistics.
In conventional helicopters, a significant amount of engine power is dedicated to overcoming the drag caused by the tail rotor. Typically, around 15-30% of the total engine power is used to drive the tail rotor. This power expenditure is necessary to counteract the torque produced by the main rotor and to maintain directional stability and control. A standout feature of the K-Max is its servo tab control system, which provides precise handling and maneuverability. This system uses small, adjustable tabs on the rotor blades to control the helicopter, significantly reducing pilot workload and enhancing stability. The K-Max's ability to perform in challenging environments has made it a favorite for missions requiring high precision and reliability.
The K-Max has a rich operational history, with diverse applications ranging from aerial firefighting to military use. The US Marines chose the K-Max for its ability to serve as a pilotless cargo drone, showcasing its advanced capabilities in unmanned operations. During its deployment in Afghanistan, the K-Max proved invaluable in transporting supplies in hazardous conditions. Its role in firefighting includes specialized equipment like water siphon systems and Bambi buckets, making it an essential tool in combating wildfires, especially in mountainous regions, or areas of limited access, where K-Max can sip water from mountain streams that other platforms cannot access. The combination of unique design, advanced control systems, and proven operational history makes the K-Max a remarkable aircraft in the world of aviation.
Make no mistake, this versatility is not casual. K-Max is marketed as an aerial truck and it flies that way. It was purpose built to deliver the goods and flown right it is a stable as a rock. You can literally let go of the controls at anything close to level flight and K-Max will settle into a hover. It does not like to fly fast or at steep banking angles, especially loaded. It's not for the faint of heart! This interpretation of K-Max was designed specifically to provide access and enjoyment to all skill levels.
For version 2 we've added the Garmin Aera 510, simulated logging operations, a new livery, all new gauge logic and special attention was paid to the flight model. In consultation with helicopter pilots we've brought the flight dynamics very close to what could be expected from the actual aircraft.
This package includes a practice scenery area by a small lake that has been set up with a few nearby wildfires. 32OR, Pine Hollow Wamic, Oregon.
The Bambi bucket DEFINATELY works, you have to "turn it on. " There is a manual available here:

- Transparent and translucent glass panes can appear very dark when subject to particle effects such as rain, snow and fog. This is a known bug that Asobo/Microsoft are aware of and will hopefully fix in the near future.
- In rare occasions the North-side custom ground imagery can be covered by the default photogrammetry ground textures. Symptoms are a clear line between green and brown grass colour close to the Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee Park. Possible workarounds for when this issue is encountered are returning to the main menu and reloading into the airfield, or by turning photogrammetry off, then back on. We continue to investigate the root cause of this behaviour.

HOW REAL IS IT?
We are not trying to build a copy of any real aircraft. However, we are trying to make it fly at least somehow realistically for given specifications, in the existing limits of MSFS and our knowledge. Please consider JW1 as an evaluation of simulator capabilities rather than an attempt to create a flight trainer. Any experience you will get with this add-on can't be used in real life, both for flying or aircraft building.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENT STAGE
Project finished! Get latest freeware or payware version and enjoy the freedom. You can always leave feedback or report issues in comments on website or in our Discord. Some technical limitations exists that we can't affect anyhow, but they will be solved by MSFS developers with time.

HOW TO INSTALL?
Unpack folder touchingcloud-aircraft-jw1 into Community directory of MSFS, launch simulator. You can use an add-on installer if you have any.
To install alternative flight model, after main files already unpacked (previous step), copy content of maxx2504-flight-model into community folder. Alternative FM is more stable and predictable – jetpack will fly like a small plane rather than body attached to the wing. If you feel default one too hard to control – try new one. If you are happy with “challenging” style of default FM – you better stay on it.
HOW TO UNINSTALL?
Delete folder touchingcloud-aircraft-jw1 from Community directory of MSFS, restart simulator.
IS VR/TrackIR SUPPORTED?
MSFS SDK has a limitation which makes impossible to track VR view, but workaround exist which makes possible to predict view direction. You need to center camera before the flight (Space key bu default).
To adjust tracking sensitivity, use wheels on Control Panel - hold controller trigger on one of the wheels, move head away from the center, move controller to center display, release trigger.
You can also try to use motion controllers during flight, moving on the ground or landing with parachute.
In First Person view ("Close" camera) near to pilot hands you can find motion control areas (half transparent spheres) - grab left one first (move controller inside of it and hold the trigger), then right one. Hold triggers to keep motion controls active.

FWX Helicopter All-in-One Bundle: all four FWX add-ons for helicopters in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with flight dynamics, turbine sound, rotor shadow and rotor blade haptics
Four add-ons work on four parts of the same flight. The handling under you, the sound around you, the shadow on the ground, the rotor in your seat.

FWX Helicopter All-in-One Bundle: all four FWX add-ons for helicopters in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with flight dynamics, turbine sound, rotor shadow and rotor blade haptics
Four add-ons work on four parts of the same flight. The handling under you, the sound around you, the shadow on the ground, the rotor in your seat.
What is this bundle? The four parts do not replace any flight model and do not rewrite any flight model or aircraft files: the simulator's flight model stays fully in force and keeps computing as designed, and the simulator itself executes all of it. Flight dynamics and haptics work on every helicopter in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, the rotor shadow on the seven types where it disappears in the simulator. Only the sound part works exclusively on the EC135, the other three parts are not tied to one type.
The flight dynamics: how the machine handles, not how the camera moves
Flight dynamics is the heart of this bundle. Your helicopter stops holding itself in the hover. It comes alive under you and asks to be flown.
Pitch, roll and climb follow the actual attitude, and your control inputs take effect immediately. Hover and forward flight can be adjusted separately, every axis can be switched on its own, and the strength is infinitely variable from zero to full, at any second of the flight.
Handling, shadow and blade beats are not precomputed: they are built live from flight data, control inputs and the real rotor speed. The sound part's strength lies elsewhere: recordings of a real EC135 instead of the flat stock sounds.
The turbine sound: real recordings instead of the stock sounds
The sound part replaces the EC135 sounds completely, inside and out, with recordings of a real EC135: cold start, spool-up, idle, flight, shutdown. It is the only part of the bundle that works on the EC135 alone.
- Both engines work separately: uneven start, uneven shutdown, single-engine taxi
- The start sequence can be aborted at any point, like on the real aircraft
- The sound follows the work of the turbine, not the rotor speed: the governor, which holds the rotor speed constant by itself, keeps it steady while the turbine has to work harder as soon as more power is needed. That is exactly what you hear. When power is reduced, the turbine audibly eases and the rotor speed stays up
- Seamless from the starter into the running turbine, smooth torque transitions instead of abrupt tonal jumps
From outside the characteristic twin-turbine whine, plus rotor downwash, flyby and hover. And above all the Fenestron, the shrouded tail rotor of the EC135: its sound is the signature of this type, and that is exactly how you hear it from outside.
The rotor shadow: the shadow that disappears above a certain rotor speed
The rotor shadow part covers seven well-known types, all other helicopters have their shadow anyway. A rotor turns above the pilot, yet on these seven its shadow disappears completely in the simulator above a certain rotor speed: visible while starting, then suddenly gone once the rotor is up to speed. This bundle gives it back: it turns with the real rotor speed, tilts with the machine and shows main and tail rotor separately, so two shadows instead of one dark blob. Every type is individually calibrated.
- Airbus H125
- Airbus H135 (EC135)
- Airbus H225
- Guimbal Cabri G2
- Robinson R66
- Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane
- Boeing CH-47 Chinook, both rotors
The haptics: feel the rotor in your body, not just hear it
The haptics make the rotor felt in your own body. They send the rotor beats as deep pulses to an audio device that Windows recognizes as a playback device and that works in your seat or on your seat frame. So you feel the rotor instead of only hearing it, and every type feels different.
In detail: every single blade pass instead of one steady hum. The rhythm follows the real rotor speed, two to eight pulses per revolution depending on the type.
- On start-up, single blade beats slow enough to count
- At mid rotor speed the uneven clatter of drooping blades
- At full speed one continuous, calm bass beat
- Rotor brake with a run-down you can feel
- Every stock helicopter in the simulator is covered automatically, from the two-bladed R66 to the six-bladed S-64 Skycrane. There is nothing for you to set up
- Third-party helicopters can be adjusted individually, although the rotor blade detection works on them as well
Sliders for volume, bass and pulse strength, plus device selection if you have several outputs. Without such an audio device there is nothing to feel.
Four parts, one flight
The four add-ons are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. Flight dynamics and rotor shadow each have a master switch, on and off at any time, in mid-flight. If you only want to hover, turn the flight dynamics down smoothly. And if you do not want the haptics, leave them off and you still have the full bundle.
Based on our market overview there is currently nothing for MSFS 2024 that makes helicopter flight behavior more immersive and adjustable in this form. From the makers of the FWX EC135 Sound Mod, reviewed by SimFlight, Threshold, MSFS Addons and MSFS Gateway.
What it cannot do
- The sound works on the EC135 only. On every other type the stock sounds stay unchanged
- The rotor shadow works on the seven types listed above only. UH-1 and Bell 407 do not need it, they have their rotor shadow out of the box
- Without an audio device that Windows recognizes as a playback device you will feel nothing from the haptics, and they send no audio to your speakers
- It does not replace any flight model and does not rewrite any flight model files
- It works on helicopters only, not on airplanes
Works with your other add-ons
- Compatible with ChasePlane and FSRealistic: those two work on camera and sound, this bundle works on the flight behavior underneath. The camera is never touched
- No changes to aircraft or flight model files
- Runs alongside your own liveries and other utilities
- The sound add-on has no impact on frame rate
- Requires Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Operated from the toolbar inside the simulator, in mid-flight
VR compatible: all four parts work in VR exactly as they do on screen, and the panel is reachable with a headset on. Adjust in flight without taking the headset off.
A full control panel sits in the simulator's toolbar, right where you open every other panel. Flight dynamics, rotor shadow and haptics each have their own tab in the FWX Manager: one click and everything is in the cockpit in front of you, in mid-flight. A master switch on top, the settings below, no switching to the desktop.
- Every change takes effect at once, no restart
- Settings are kept per helicopter, and the tested default can be restored at any time
Installation, notes and updates
- Click-through installer: pick the folder, done
- Note on package order: for the sound to take effect, the package order may have to be set by hand, in the settings of the simulator, in the package library section. The installer walks you through it with a confirmation dialog. This applies to this bundle as well.
- Starts and stops with the simulator, stays silent in menus and loading screens
- You can uninstall in two ways: through our own FWX application or through the Windows program list. Uninstalling brings the stock sounds back
- Free updates, new sound content and new features included
- If another helicopter missing its rotor shadow appears in the simulator, it is added free with an update
Included in this bundle
- FWX EC135 Real Turbine Sound Mod
- FWX Helicopter Rotor Blade Haptic
- FWX Helicopter Rotor Shadow Mod
- FWX Helicopter Flight Dynamics
The individual products
- FWX EC135 REAL TURBINE SOUND MOD MSFS24: the turbine sound only, for the EC135 only
- FWX HELI FLIGHT DYNAMICS & ROTOR EFFECTS: the three parts that work on every helicopter, without the EC135 sound

Fwx Heli Flight Dynamics & Rotor Effects New
FWX Heli Flight Dynamics & Rotor Effects: the flight dynamics add-on for every helicopter in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with rotor shadow and rotor blade haptics
The helicopter no longer holds itself in the hover. It comes alive under the pilot and wants to be flown.

FWX Heli Flight Dynamics & Rotor Effects: the flight dynamics add-on for every helicopter in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with rotor shadow and rotor blade haptics
The helicopter no longer holds itself in the hover. It comes alive under the pilot and wants to be flown.
What is this package? Three add-ons for helicopters in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with the flight dynamics at their heart. It does not move the camera, it moves the machine: every reaction is generated in the same moment from the simulator's flight data and your control inputs. The simulator's flight model is not replaced, it stays in force. The flight dynamics work on every helicopter, the rotor shadow on seven types, and the rotor blade haptics work through an audio device in your seat.
The flight dynamics: the hover and the flight becomes work again
Over the spot you are aiming for, the machine no longer holds itself there. It wants to be held, and it shows you that every second. Pitch, roll and climb follow the actual attitude of the aircraft, and your control inputs have an immediate effect on its behavior.
Seamlessly on into translational flight
The transition from the hover into translational flight is seamless, with no jump and no switching. Every direction is treated the same way: forward, sideways, backward. The aerodynamic influences and the pilot's influences become clearly noticeable.
Everything happens in the same moment
Airspeed, attitude, control deflection: every reaction is generated continuously from the simulator's flight data and your inputs, at every moment of the flight. Nothing is pre-calculated, nothing is played back.
The simulator's flight model stays in force
We do not replace it. It keeps calculating exactly as intended, our technology reads those values and adds extra motion on top. Everything is executed by the simulator itself. The original data is left untouched.
Tuned to your machine and your taste
You decide how far it goes, and you decide it in flight. That applies to every helicopter in the simulator, including types from other developers.
- Strength infinitely variable from zero to full, at any second of the flight
- Each axis can be switched on individually
- Hover and forward flight can be adjusted separately
- Profiles you can save for each helicopter type
- Tested presets for the simulator's own types, your own values for helicopters from other developers
- The factory setting can be restored per helicopter at any time
Also in the package: the rotor shadow, the shadow add-on for seven types
This part brings the shadow of the turning rotor back to where the simulator drops it. On seven well-known types it is there at first and then disappears completely above a certain rotor speed. For exactly those seven the package brings it back, following the rotor speed: on the ground, on the fuselage and on the surroundings, tilting with the machine, main and tail rotor shown separately instead of one dark blob. Each of the seven types has been calibrated individually for it.
- Airbus H125
- Airbus H135 (EC135)
- Airbus H225
- Guimbal Cabri G2
- Robinson R66
- Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane
- Boeing CH-47 Chinook, both rotors
Also in the package: the rotor blade haptics, which make the rotor felt in your seat
The haptics make the rotor felt in your own body. They send the rotor beats as deep pulses to an audio device that works in the seat or on the seat frame and that Windows recognizes as a playback device. So you do not just hear the rotor, you feel it, and every type feels different.
In detail: instead of a uniform hum that feels like a washing machine, you feel every single blade passage. The beat follows the real rotor speed, with two to eight pulses per revolution depending on the type, from the two-bladed R66 to the six-bladed S-64 Skycrane.
All of the simulator's stock helicopters are included automatically, you do not have to set anything up for that. On helicopters from other developers the haptics detect the rotor blades on their own, and anyone who still wants to do it themselves can set them by hand there. Without such an audio device, though, there is nothing to feel. If you do not want to use the haptics, you leave them off and still have the full package.
Based on our market overview, there is currently nothing for MSFS 2024 that makes helicopter flight behavior more immersive and adjustable in this form.

Operated from the toolbar inside the simulator, in mid-flight
A full control panel sits in the simulator's toolbar, exactly where you open every other panel as well. One click and it is in the cockpit in front of you. In the FWX Manager each of the three add-ons has its own tab, each with a master switch and the sliders below it. Every slider takes effect immediately, without a restart. No second window, no switching to the desktop.
VR compatible
In virtual reality everything works exactly the same, because we move the machine and not the picture. And because the panel sits inside the simulator, it stays reachable with the headset on: adjust in flight without taking the headset off.
Installation and uninstallation
Installation runs through a click-through installer, and the package then starts automatically with the simulator. You can uninstall in two ways: through our own FWX application or through the Windows program list.
Updates
Free updates, new features included. If another helicopter without a rotor shadow appears in the simulator, it is added free of charge with an update.
Also available as a bundle
These three add-ons are also available together with our sound pack, and the sound pack is available on its own:
- FWX HELICOPTER ALL-IN-ONE BUNDLE MSFS24: everything from this package plus the EC135 Real Turbine Sound Mod.
- FWX EC135 REAL TURBINE SOUND MOD MSFS24: the turbine sound of the EC135, works on that type only.
