Just for you information....Blades do not turn with wind on a 139 even if the wind is blowing at 30 kts. The hydraulic pump mentioned is the electrical pump on the n1 side who is only used to do the flight control check on the ground only. it provide 105 bars only, you need 205 bars to fly the aircraft, it is provided by 3 pumps driven by the main gearbox. Hover mode is available from 30 ft minimum and require ATT mode selected, it does not work on SAS mode like any other flight Director mode. The aircraft model design is impressive, it is like a real one. They did a fantastic job.
I think the Autohover is a lifesaver. Especially when you activate force trim with it. It will stay in one place, rock solid, while you go to the kitchen and make a snack... Not that I recommend you go to the kitchen and make a snack while flying... But you COULD!
Very nice to see a very fidelity aircraft as this, I'm a Era Legacy (Brazil) aircraft maintenance technician, I work with this aircraft, very close to reality.
If You haven't found it already, there's a fix for the jaggede shadows in the cockpit, search "Jagged shadows X-plane 11".... Thanks for sharing, beautiful bird....
Just for info as im itching to say... The button he is pressing for the hydraulic pump is actually the electric pump, its used for control checks before startup.
Great tutorial, thanks BelGeode. Also I agree, this is a beautiful helicopter and the autohover helps a lot. We expect more AW139 tutorials for flight, setting a route and especially for landing. Finally I ask you if you can show your Saitek and keyboard settings. Cheers.
I can't show them on this, but I might be able to post on Facebook. Problem is I use many different settings in X-Plane. I have profiles for each category of aircraft, and some aircraft specific like Osprey or Tornado. I think for this one I used my general helicopter setup..I will take a look when I get home.
You are welcome. This is now a little dated, so to be sure, check with the developer on their website (listed in the video description) to see if anything has been affected by updates. It really should not have changed the procedures, but you never know.
Don't recall, since I am not at home (currently on vacation). But it should be in the list of keybinds available, and can be assigned to any key or button on your cyclic.
I saw you mentioned raise the collective and pull back the cyclic. How do you do thatr? Are you using Joystick or keyboard? I cannot get the helicopter Collective lever up.
I use HOTAS. I think back when I made this video I was using the Saitek X-52. I do not think I had switched to the Virpil controls I use now. The keybinds are all in your x-plane settings. There are helicopter based settings you can assign to any control you want. Assign cyclic to joystick, and collective to throttle. Do not use keyboard.
One of the switches in the center console I believe. Sorry I am not by the computer right now, so I cannot check. It may be listed in the manual, but I am not 100% sure. I think they updated it since this video was made.
I had to check which video this comment was placed upon, because i get these messages on my phone. Back then i used Dxtory. Now I use AMD ReLive, which comes with my Radeon VII GPU.
I am not sure any of them really classify as "study level". But I suppose the one you are watching in this video is one of the most in depth. This and the Nimbus Huey. I would also say the Bell 412 by X-Trident ranks up there.
Thank you very much for your excellent tutorial for AW139. It really helped me out. Please can I ask where can I find the Aw139 user guide? It’s not in the aircraft files? Many thanks Martin 🚁
Has anyone else noticed the thing has no, as yet, transponder? There is one referenced in the .acf file, and the MFD reads “xpndr off”-but there clearly isn’t one on the pedestal. Also, the manual shows a completely different layout to the pedestal...
Hello! Nice video and helpful, one question, what is the control type you are using to show lists and controls and zoom on the cockpit? I would like one like that!!!
I mentioned how in the video. I have a key bound to auto hover. That key is also a button on my joystick. I pushed the button. You have to assign the key yourself.
Do you have keybinds for autopilot set up for any of your aircraft? Autopilot servos toggle Altitude hold That's really all you need. You can turn while on alt hold.
Oh wait you are commenting on a different video than I thought. Yeah with this helicopter you need to set up a different autopilot command called force trim. Once THAT is activated, then you can activate the regular autopilot command (on/off), and all the others like heading hold, nav hold, alt hold, etc. But the key is force trim. Without that on, it will not allow you to get out of ATT mode.
Hey, really great Video, love this bird, too! But one Question: Sometimes, when I shut down the Aircraft and want to fire it up again, the ITT-value decreases to a Level that seems to be to low for starting the engines and so Nothing happens. How can i Prevent this? Kind regards
I always get notifications on my phone. It just takes a little while to figure out which video the comment is on. But I asked them. Waiting now. Will either copy the answer here, or ask the dev to reply to this.
His reply- " He’s maybe using an earlier version, where problem was related to electric plant, ITT it’s a consequence." Update to RC5, the latest version that released yesterday, that should resolve the issue. Make sure you are signed up on the x-rotors.com page, to view your account and download links.
When I go in game it tells me that I don't have license for the heli! But when I installed it I copy-pasted the email and serial key to install it, any clues?

I'll mention this to the developers. They will probably want to see it. Thanks for the feedback.
I really like this helo. It doesn't have the tendency to want to kill you while flying. Worth the money I spent. Thanks for your help.
I think the Autohover is a lifesaver. Especially when you activate force trim with it. It will stay in one place, rock solid, while you go to the kitchen and make a snack...
Not that I recommend you go to the kitchen and make a snack while flying... But you COULD!
@@belgeode I do this on DCS long hauls, I throw autopilot on and go use the restroom or whatever.
Very nice to see a very fidelity aircraft as this, I'm a Era Legacy (Brazil) aircraft maintenance technician, I work with this aircraft, very close to reality.
Awesome! Yes she seens like a very nice helo!
Good tutorial, easy to follow. A striking similarity to the UH-60 blackhawk.
Yeah it does have some similarity. I should probably make an updated video though. This is old. I don't even use xp11 anymore.
If You haven't found it already, there's a fix for the jaggede shadows in the cockpit, search "Jagged shadows X-plane 11"....
Thanks for sharing, beautiful bird....
Thanks. This is an old video. I already have a jagged shadow fix.
Just for info as im itching to say... The button he is pressing for the hydraulic pump is actually the electric pump, its used for control checks before startup.

Thanks Haden.
@@belgeode You are most welcomed my brother.
New user here. Thank you for this useful tutorial !!

This is percicely what I needed! Thank you!
You are welcome.
Again a very useful video. Thank you! ;)
You're welcome.
Lovely!
and hey, a sidenote. I have bought my first scenery for long time.. in FS2, the netherlands are freaking amazing.
Yes, it is incredible!
@@belgeode there is some hidden stuff.. I liked the tiny easteregg in Hilversum on the TV tower.
Thank you for this handy tutorial!
No problem sir.
u can find the interior lights switches in the back of HYD switch
I know.
This is an old video.
Thanks you guys !
Ahh, you're welcome.
Hi Great video. So what button do you actually engage for auto hover. Its not clear from your video. Thanks.
Don't recall, since I am not at home (currently on vacation). But it should be in the list of keybinds available, and can be assigned to any key or button on your cyclic.
I saw you mentioned raise the collective and pull back the cyclic. How do you do thatr? Are you using Joystick or keyboard? I cannot get the helicopter Collective lever up.

How did you get this LED Anti Col. Light? Not the flashing thing?
One of the switches in the center console I believe. Sorry I am not by the computer right now, so I cannot check. It may be listed in the manual, but I am not 100% sure. I think they updated it since this video was made.
BelGeode and how can I get this update?
Go to the x-rotors website, sign in, and download again from your account page.
Great video. What are your OBS settings?
I don't remember if i used OBS for this. It was a while ago.
Probably set to 30k bitrate though.
@@belgeode What program do you use to record/create your videos?
I had to check which video this comment was placed upon, because i get these messages on my phone.
Back then i used Dxtory. Now I use AMD ReLive, which comes with my Radeon VII GPU.
Hey BelGeode, whats in your opinion the the best study level heli going around for XP please?
I am not sure any of them really classify as "study level". But I suppose the one you are watching in this video is one of the most in depth. This and the Nimbus Huey. I would also say the Bell 412 by X-Trident ranks up there.
@@belgeode Thank you mate. Much appreciated.
@@AusFlightSimmer anytime sir.
Great video. Can you tell me what command did you bind to the joystick for auto HOV? Thanks Roland
In settings look for x-rotors and you will see the command for auto hover. Set your own keybind.
@@belgeode thanks much! The plane had to be loaded to be able to select the Xrotor specific keycodes... 🙄🤣
Yeah, that would help.
Thank you very much for your excellent tutorial for AW139. It really helped me out.
Please can I ask where can I find the Aw139 user guide? It’s not in the aircraft files? Many thanks Martin 🚁
Download it from the x-rotors.com sute.
BelGeode Thank you for the advise. Yes, I found the user guide under the X-Rotor.com download page. All the best 😉
Excellent! I hope you enjoy the bird.
How can I use from cold and dark
I believe that is what this video is about. But it is now outdated, and i do not know what the developer may have changed since i uploaded this.
Has anyone else noticed the thing has no, as yet, transponder? There is one referenced in the .acf file, and the MFD reads “xpndr off”-but there clearly isn’t one on the pedestal. Also, the manual shows a completely different layout to the pedestal...
Yes. I don't recall if I had found it, and it wasn't mentioned in the manual.
Could be not modeled, or automatic. I will have to ask the developer.
The transponder is housed withing the Primus Epic System and accessible through the MCDU radio page,
Thanks for the video. I can't see the link for the Avitab program, I can see all the other links
Oh crap. I thought I added it. My bad. I will fix that this evening. It is on the x-plane.org site.

Hello! Nice video and helpful, one question, what is the control type you are using to show lists and controls and zoom on the cockpit? I would like one like that!!!
What is the what?
You mean the mouse?
BelGeode yes the mouse!
I am in VR. That is the oculus touch controller.
How would you compare this helicopter, in level of detail (Systems/modeling etc) to other x plane helicopter?
Depends on the helicopter. It is about as deep as say X-Trident Bell 412.
Hi BelGeode, thanks for the video, has been nice but I missed "engage the auto hover part" how you did it?
I mentioned how in the video. I have a key bound to auto hover. That key is also a button on my joystick. I pushed the button. You have to assign the key yourself.
Hi I have purchased this helicopter but can’t work out how to operate the auto pilot , can you help. Thanks Bryan
Do you have keybinds for autopilot set up for any of your aircraft?
Autopilot servos toggle
Altitude hold
That's really all you need. You can turn while on alt hold.
Oh wait you are commenting on a different video than I thought. Yeah with this helicopter you need to set up a different autopilot command called force trim.

Thanks so much it all makes sense now

I'm not sure, having never experienced this. I will ask the developer for you.
Wow, thank You for you fast answer. Well this is not necessary , i could do this myself, but many thanks.

No clue. Check with the developer website. Sounds like something they need to look at. The site is linked in video description.
@@belgeode Will do. Cheers!
@@belgeode By the way, what name does this button have to be able to bind it to joystick, the light switch: gyazo.com/ae1bc834033db0a084bf8ce05cc29696
Great video! I believe my glass is more darker than that. Can you told me how can make thiss??
If you're using the latest version, the glass is lighter. Update through x-rotors website.
@@belgeode I will do that! Thank you! I always appreciate your videos. Continue the good work!
@@BrittzAviation thanks. Enjoy!
The map is midway atoll
Yes
My dad flies the AW189
That's really cool. How does he like it? Is it for work?
BelGeode He flies it for Bristow, in Scotland. He sometimes gets to fly it in the SAR Livery, you can see on my insta “EGPD_Spotter”
a109 pls
Why are you telling me? I am not the developer. You need to go to x-rotors for that. I am not associated with them.
@@belgeode youre not the developer of aw139 yet you made a video
Yeah, welcome to youtube. That is what we do here. Make videos to help people understand things.
