| Documented highlights | Autopilot standby retains the underlying stabilisationThe 222 autopilot guide says pressing SBY once removes armed or active autopilot modes while leaving Auto Trim/SAS active. It documents autopilot availability above 44 knots, with SAS required for those modes. This describes CowanSim’s software system. The 222UT distinguishes rotor-speed adjustment from aircraft trimThe guide maps governor fine adjustment to Engine Trim RPM Increase/Decrease, while cyclic trim uses the separate rotor longitudinal and lateral trim controls. Rotor Trim Reset has its own binding. These similarly named controls perform different functions in this package. | The X-Plane 222B offers cabin and panel choicesCowanSim’s listing describes luxury and medical interiors, configurable panels, AviTab integration and optional RXP GTN 750 integration. These features belong to the 222B product described by the page. Choose texture size to suit the installationThe listed package includes 2K and 4K versions, FMOD audio, window-rain effects and VR support. Its version summary gives separate X-Plane 11 and 12 release dates for v2.60. |
