FSX Auto-Hover For R22, JetRanger And EH101

Auto-Hover brings steady, hands-off helicopter handling to the R22, JetRanger, and EH101 in FSX by using SimConnect to drive a three-axis cyclic and rudder autopilot. Toggle hover or forward submodes in flight, engage functions via the landing gear event, and enjoy smoother damping after maneuvers; requires Microsoft .NET Framework.

This console program connects to FSX via SimConnect, and provides a three-axis autopilot controlling the cyclic and rudder. Note: You may need to install the Microsoft .NET Framework for your operating system to run this program. By Cedric Ma.

Autopilot functions can be toggled on/off via the Landing Gear event.

There are two submodes that can be toggled via the period (".") key on the keyboard (not keypad):

  • Hover Mode (default).
  • Forward Mode is similar to auto-hover except that the pitch angle is adjustable via the user's joystick.

Due to SimConnect message delays, the autopilot may become unstable beyond 4x simulation time acceleration. If the autopilot is allowed to run for a few seconds after any maneuvering, most transient motions will be damped out and the helicopter will remain fairly stable for much longer periods without the autopilot being active. This strategy can be used to bring a helicopter across long distances on 128x acceleration.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D add-on

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place files per the readme

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    How do I install this? Where should I put the EXE file? It doesn't work on me.
