NiNimbus comes with yet another update for their Bell UH-1 Huey for X-Plane 11 bringing numerous new features and many bug fixes to the famous American helicopter.

First taking off in 1956, the Huey family has seen many landscapes throughout its life until today. Deployed in Vietnam, the Sinai peninsula, and many more, the UH-1 has proven its reliability on the battlefield. The helicopter is still being used by both military and civilian operators. 

This update focuses mainly on systems, however, other visual details are also added. Both Avitab and a GNS530 can now be installed in the cockpit, the force trim is now simulated and a searchlight can also be equipped.
