A High Definition Ultralight Helicopter Simulation

Separate native products for X-PLANE 12 and X-PLANE 11, for your selection.

MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR X-PLANE 12

Disk Space: 25GB
CPU: Intel Core i3, i5, i7, or i9 CPU with 4 or more cores, or AMD Ryzen 3, 5, 7 or 9.
(Those with other CPUs should try the demo before purchasing.)
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Video Card: a Vulkan 1.3-capable video card from NVIDIA or AMD with at least 2 GB VRAM
Note: Intel GPUs are not supported by X-Plane 12.

The VSKYLABS development of the Dynali H3 project for X-Plane flight simulator was approved by the 'Dynali Helicopter Company'. However, it is an independent VSKYLABS project which is not related, affiliated and/or endorsed with/by 'Dynali Helicopter Company'.

Project Introduction

This project is part of the VSKYLABS 'Test-Pilot' series, designed specifically for use with X-Plane cutting edge Flight Model.

The Dynali H3 helicopter is a Belgian ultralight two-seat helicopter with a side-by-side seating configuration. It is authorized in several European countries under the ultralight helicopter category, and being flown around the world as a light-utility helicopter, and as a personal ultralight vehicle. It is supplied as a ready-to-fly helicopter, or as a kit.

The project is setting up a highly defined Dynali H3 simulation along with full VR compatibility, within the default features of X-Plane, stretching it to its limits.

Project Main Features

• VSKYLABS 'Test-Pilot' Project.
• Highly defined model of the Dynali H3 EasyFlyer helicopter.
• Two variants included: Classic EasyFlyer + the newer Dynali 'Sport' variant.
• Built around the powerful, native X-Plane flight model.
• Fully functional VR (Virtual Reality) compatibility.
• 3D Pilot and passenger visualization for increased VR immersion.
• Built-in Avitab compatibility (Avitab plugin not included).
• Multi-Layer FMOD sound pack.
• Autoupdater based on the SkunkCrafts autoupdater (XP12 only) - all updates are being pushed smoothly without the need to re-download the entire base package (base package will be updated every once in a while to minimize the gap).
• Easy-to-use paint-kit included.
• The project is under constant development.
• Highly responsive VSKYLABS support forums.

JetManHuss - VSKYLABS (c) 2023 All Rights Reserved

XP12 - v3.1a (10th May 2023):

• Flight dynamics - tuneup for tail-rotor responsiveness (was too responsive for desktop twisting joystick devices in the yaw axis).

XP12 - v3.1 (3rd April 2023):

• New 3-d fuel gauge was added (between the seats, float-leveler mechanism).

XP12 - v3.0 (30th March 2023):

• Flight dynamics complete overhaul to fall in line with the latest X-Plane 12 related helicopter simulation physics.
• Textures/PBR tune-ups (in and out) to fall in-line with the latest X-Plane 12 lighting engine updates.
• Sounds - new FMOD 2.0 sound pack.
• Systems - new dual-system altimeter.
• Animations:
  • New tail/stab vibration animation.
  • New skids-flex animation.
  • Improved rotor-disc animation.

XP12 - v2.2 (4th December 2022):

• Interior lighting system reset and retuned to comply with the modified X-Plane 12.00r1+ lighting engine.

XP12 - v2.1 (23th November 2022):

• Updater software replaced - from STMA to SkunkCrafts. 

XP12 - v2.0 (Spetember 2022):

• X-Plane 12 - initial version release.

XP11 - v1.1e (25th November 2020):

• Interactivity:
  • Added option to show/hide AviTab tablet (click zone / Slider#1 ON/OFF). 

 XP11 - v1.1c (6th October 2020):

• 3D model bug-fix:
  • Engine exhaust pipe visualization was fixed.

XP11 - v1.1a (12th September 2020):

• Engine operation envelope and cooling fans tuneup:
  • Automatic cooling fans tuneup for higher effectiveness - to allow prolonged hovering in hot weather (above 25 degrees C).
  • Engine analog Oil-temp and CHT gauges *wrong readings* below 100 Degrees C was fixed.

XP11 - v1.1 (8th June 2020):

• Dynali H3 'Sport' variant was added to the project.
• The 'Sport' variant is featuring the latest Dynali H3 design which is incorporating a new tail-design and new carbon-aerodynamic skids, which improves the overall H3 aerodynamic stability and efficiency.
• Paint-Kit is now v1.1 - with the addition of the tail-section.

XP11 - v1.0 (29th April 2020): Initial version release.
