Documented highlights

Give collective and throttle separate assignments

CowanSim’s H130 guide separates the collective axis from the engine twist grip. A user without a second hardware axis can leave throttle unassigned and operate it with the mouse. The guide also recommends an aircraft-specific control profile to avoid duplicate assignments.

The searchlight uses several existing simulator bindings

In this package, Toggle Wing Lights switches the searchlight on and off, while the landing-light direction bindings aim it. The guide also identifies the cockpit controller. These assignments describe the documented H130 package and are not inferred from another CowanSim helicopter.
