Complete cockpit and exterior sound replacement for the Nemeth Design EC135 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
The default EC135 turbine sounds are flat, simplistic, and completely unrealistic. They lack the depth and character of a real twin-turbine helicopter. This pack replaces them entirely — inside and out — with custom sound files mixed from real helicopter recordings.
From the cockpit, hear the turbines with goosebump-inducing realism through every flight phase: cold start, spool-up, idle, flight, and shutdown. From outside, the characteristic Eurocopter twin-engine whine and rotor wash transform replays, flyovers, and external views into a true experience.
COCKPIT TURBINE AUDIO:
- Custom cockpit turbine sounds designed for the EC135
- Custom startup sequence — hear the turbine spool from ignition to idle, mixed from real helicopter recordings
- Interruptible startup sequence — abort the turbine spool-up at any moment by switching the starter off, matching real EC135 behaviour (v1. 49) ←NEW
- Fully independent dual engines — Engine 1 and Engine 2 are completely separated. Asymmetric start, asymmetric shutdown, single-engine taxi: each engine plays its own sound layer (v1. 49) ←NEW
- Realistic startup and shutdown sequences — each phase authentic, correctly timed
- Seamless transition from starter to turbine run — no audio gaps, no cuts
- Smooth torque transitions — pitch variation reduced to 20% of stock for realistic twin-turbine behavior
EXTERIOR AUDIO:
- Full exterior sound replacement — the iconic Eurocopter twin-engine whine for replays, flyovers, and external views
- Rotor wash, flyby, and hover audio completely reworked
- Multiple custom sound files covering every external perspective
TECHNICAL:
- ButtKicker-safe — no artificial internal bass rumble that interferes with haptic setups
- Zero FPS impact — pure sound file replacement, no scripts, no plugins, no GPU load
- No dependencies, no third-party software needed
- Works seamlessly alongside the FWX Rotor Haptic Engine
ZERO SETUP — ONE-TIME CONFIGURATION:
- Drag-and-drop installer — point it at your Community folder, click Install
- Editable Community-folder path picker with improved auto-detection (v1. 49) ←NEW
- Clean Apps and Features integration for proper Windows uninstall (v1. 49) ←NEW
- v1. 44 installer walks you through the required Package Load Order step with a mandatory confirmation dialog — no more silent installs
- Instant uninstall — delete the folder or re-run the installer, and the original sounds return
- No installation wizard complexity, no frameworks, no leftovers
Designed exclusively for the Nemeth Design EC135 (Local Legend 21) in MSFS 2024.
Free updates — new sound improvements included at no extra cost as MSFS evolves.
Featured on SimFlight, Threshold, MSFS Addons, MSFS Gateway, Sinclair Design, AVSIM, and r/MicrosoftFlightSim.

IMPORTANT — ONE-TIME PACKAGE LOAD ORDER SETUP:
The v1. 44 installer walks you through this with a mandatory confirmation dialog. If you install manually or need to reconfigure, follow these steps once after installation:
1. Go to General Options > Advanced Options > Package Reorder Tool
2. Enable the tool and uncheck 'Only Scenery Packages'
3. Search for '135'
4. Move the FWX Sound Pack below the Nemeth Design EC135
5. Restart the simulator
This ensures the custom sounds take priority over the default ones
Fwx Ec135 Haptic - BASS Shaker Mod
FWX Rotor Haptic Engine — Feel Every Blade Through Your Seat
Real-time rotor vibration generator for bass shakers, transducers, and ButtKickers. Compatible with any helicopter in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

FWX Rotor Haptic Engine — Feel Every Blade Through Your Seat
Real-time rotor vibration generator for bass shakers, transducers, and ButtKickers. Compatible with any helicopter in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Standard haptic software sends a constant vibration based on RPM. That feels like sitting on a washing machine, not in a helicopter. In a real EC135, you feel four distinct blade passes per revolution. At startup, each blade hits individually. At low RPM, the blades rattle as they hang and slap.
The FWX Rotor Haptic Engine generates authentic rotor blade impulses from live RPM data — not generic rumble, but precise low-frequency vibrations you feel through your seat.
ROTOR PHYSICS:
- 4 physical impulses per rotor revolution — matches real EC135 (4-blade main rotor)
- Real-time SimConnect integration — reacts instantly to rotor speed changes
- Low RPM startup: individual blade thumps, slow enough to count
- 30-50% RPM: irregular blade rattle of hanging blades at low speed
- Full RPM: smooth continuous bass pulse matching the rotor disc frequency
- Rotor brake feedback with gradual deceleration
ZERO SETUP — MAXIMUM COMFORT:
- Installs autostart via exe. xml — launches automatically with MSFS, no manual start needed
- Auto-shutdown — closes cleanly when MSFS exits (NEW in v1. 43)
- Editable Community-folder path picker with improved auto-detection (NEW in v1. 53)
- Clean Apps and Features integration for proper Windows uninstall (NEW in v1. 53)
- Smart pause detection — haptics stop in menus and loading screens
- Standalone . exe — no dependencies, no installation wizard, no frameworks
- Just install once, forget about it, and feel every flight from day one
GUI:
- Live RPM display with real-time impulse visualization
- Volume, bass, and impulse strength controls
- Device selection dropdown for multi-output setups
- All settings saved automatically between sessions
Works with ANY helicopter in MSFS 2024.
Free updates — new features and improvements included.

Offline GA Traffic uses five MSFS generic general aviation models with three custom paint schemes for each model, which blend in perfectly with the static GA models included with many payware airports. They also taxi, take off and land at any airport, airfield, or airstrip with a suitable parking space throughout the MSFS world. They fly VFR days only and IFR day and night, and all have strobe, navigation and landing lights. They fully interact with ATC at all stages of flight, and ATC will call them by a real-world make and model name, and a region-specific registration number.
Offline GA Traffic is optimised for use with MSFS default offline traffic, FSLTL, AIG Traffic (in offline mode only), and Aerosoft Simple Traffic.
Please note that the smaller MSFS default airfields will have fewer parking spaces, if any, so always check your Offline GA Traffic installation and settings at a larger regional or even international airport.
New in Version 6. 0:
- All flightplans optimised to create an equal percentage of parked aircraft at every available airport and airfield - if you set your traffic slider to 20%, you'll see 20% of the parking spaces occupied globally.
- Bug Fix: Incorrect tail numbers for UK registered aircraft - all affected aircraft now have individual G- prefix tail numbers.
Installation:
Unzip the offline_ga_traffic folder and either cut and paste or drag and drop it into your Community folder.
MSFS settings:
In the Options > General Options section, select TRAFFIC from the menu on the left and under the AVIATION TRAFFIC section:
Set AIRCRAFT TRAFFIC TYPE to AI OFFLINE
Set AI TRAFFIC DENSITY from 10% to 50% for the optimum GA traffic on your system.
Under the AIRPORT LIFE section:
Set GROUND AIRCRAFT DENSITY to zero.
Under the AI AND MULTIPLAYER TRAFFIC DETAIL section:
Set both USE GENERIC PLANE MODELS options as required by your airline traffic program, Offline GA Traffic works with USE GENERIC PLANE MODELS either ON or OFF.
Set TRAFFIC VARIETY to ULTRA.
Offline Generic Traffic Fix:
This simple batch file fix will prevent ALL default AI traffic and liveries from appearing in the sim, including generic AI, stock AI and even third-party AI aircraft - do NOT use it with Aerosoft’s Simple Traffic! Offline GA Traffic will still appear in the sim as normal. See the included manual . pdf for full instructions.
Special Instructions:
If you don’t see any traffic at all with GROUND AIRCRAFT DENSITY set to zero, delete your ROLLINGCACHE. CCC file and re-launch your MSFS, which will create a new ROLLINGCACHE. CCC file for you. This file can be found in:

Following on from their hugely popular 146 Professional for MSFS, Just Flight's in-house development team has created a high fidelity simulation of Britain’s last airliner, the RJ Professional.
RJ Professional brings you four variants of the RJ family: the RJ70, RJ85, RJ100 and the proposed RJ100 QT Freighter variant. Each variant is fully custom-coded and created using comprehensive, hands-on research with a real world aircraft, RJ-100 SE-RJI. Over 25 high quality liveries represent the vast number of RJ operators from all around the world.
The RJ was developed in the 1980s and 1990s and first took to the air in 1992. The main goal of the RJ was to succeed the 146 regional jets, many of which were still flying in their original analogue cockpit configurations and without sophisticated autopilot or navigation systems. This, along with newer and more modern regional jets from other manufacturers, meant that it was beginning to prove difficult for airlines to operate the 146 in the modern-day aviation environment and a new aircraft was required.
The results of those efforts was the RJ, a glass cockpit airliner equipped with an EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument System), PED (Primary Engine Display), FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) and FMS (Flight Management System) - a generational leap in capability from the 146.
Other avionics improvements include a fully automatic pressurisation system, digitally displayed COM/NAV/ADF radio, an autothrottle, a TRP (Thrust Rating Panel) allowing you to set V-speeds on the EFIS displays as well as select different engine power modes and a much more advanced autopilot, with LNAV and CAT3 autoland capabilities. The aircraft was also fitted with an FMS as standard, which in our simulation comes in the form of a fully custom-coded GNLU-910A.
Amongst all of these more advanced features, the RJ and the 146 both share the same type rating; there are, therefore, a lot of similarities in the operating philosophies between the two aircraft. A true mix of retro and modern and a really quirky aircraft to study and to fly!
See the Detailed Description below for full details of all the aircraft features!
The following PDF manuals are included with the aircraft software and you can also download them here: Operations Manual / EFB Manual /GNLU-910A FMS Manual
