Developer Nimbus Simulation Studios today released Nimbus UH-1 for X-Plane 11. They included high-quality 3D model, accurate handling, flight characteristics or 9 liveries and much more. PBR textures are included as well.
The best feature for me are usable side-mounted guns. Another cool thing is, that you can manage maintenance, weight and balance, doors and accessories and do the checklists as well.
You can buy this Add-on from X-Plane store.

- Windows for managing maintenance, weight and balance, doors and accessories, joystick position, copilot and checklists.
Maintenance module:
- if you want a more realistic experience you can choose if you want the helicopter to require maintenance with time and usage, depending on how you fly and engine exceedance the mechanical components will degrade and performance will be affected.
Copilot:
- We created a “copilot” module that will allow you to hand over control and forget about flying so you can move to the back, enjoy the view, the sound or even use the side mounted guns.
Weight and balance:
- A graphic interface gives you the chance to modify the cargo, passengers, fuel and CG, handling of the helicopter will change depending on the CG lateral and longitudinal position.
Doors and accessories:
- Guns, no guns, doors opened or closed, wire cutter or not…..customize it as you want.
Checklist:
- Checklist are easily accessible through the menu on the left, This window will also allow you to see some performance charts.
Joystick position indicator:
- A small window on the right bottom corner will show the position of your controls, it seems simple but is a very good way to refine your flight technique.
