Robinson R22 Beta II

R22 for MSFS ↗MSFS 2020 · MSFS 2024 · Aircraft · ReleasedThe developer describes an MSFS 2020 product compatible with MSFS 2024; a separately tailored native 2024 edition remains a future update.

Governor and rotor brake are separate cockpit systems

Laminar’s manual identifies a governor switch with an orange GOV indication when disabled, plus a separate overhead rotor brake. The illustrated controls distinguish engine-speed management from stopping the unpowered rotor after shutdown. The nearby landing-light switch operates the pair of lights in the nose.

The cockpit includes Laminar’s GNS530

The guide describes Laminar’s interpretation of the Garmin 530 and a separate transponder. The centre console places cyclic friction, right trim, carburettor heat and fuel controls within another illustrated area. These diagrams help locate controls before using the manual’s simulator checklists.

Cowan’s panel choices and assistance belong to its package

The v2.3 product description lists analogue, G530 and GTN panel options, plus a custom SAS and autopilot with force-trim release. Those are Cowan’s chosen simulator features and differ from the basic mechanical trim described in the Laminar guide. Optional GTN integrations have their own dependencies.

Prepare the occupants, doors and load before flying

The package offers removable doors, an animated passenger, a solo-control option and an interactive cockpit checklist. Its persistence system saves weight, balance and options between flights. Cowan describes MSFS 2020 design with MSFS 2024 compatibility, while a dedicated 2024 edition remained a future plan on the captured page.
