Version History
The VSKYLABS development of the Robinson R44 project for X-Plane flight simulator was approved by the Robinson Helicopter Company. However, it is an independent VSKYLABS project which is not related, affiliated and/or endorsed with the Robinson Helicopter Company
The Robinson R44 Raven II
is a high performing, four-seat aircraft. It has been the world’s best-selling GA helicopter for more than two decades. The R44’s aerodynamic fuselage optimizes airspeed and fuel economy. It is powered by Lycoming IO-540 fuel injected engine and it cruises at 110 knots and can fly 300 nautical miles and up to 14,000 feet
Project Main Features:
Optimized for the latest X-Plane 12 Flight Model
Robust and Highly Defined flight dynamics model of the Robinson R44 Raven II helicopter
, built around the powerful, native X-Plane 'Experimental Flight Model' environment
Highly detailed model of the Robinson R44 Raven II helicopter
Autorotation capable
Comprehensive systems
which were designed to follow the real R44 Raven II POH, as authentically as possible within X-Plane 11 flight simulator limitations
Fully functional VR (Virtual Reality) Ready:
highly interactive cockpit environment including levers, switches, guards, 3D checklist viewer, modular cyclic and more
Equipped with Robinson's classic 7 holes analog panel
R44 Auxiliary fuel system.
Removable doors
Fully featured GNS530
Built-in Avitab Compatibility
(Avitab plugin not included)
Multi-Layer FMOD 2.0 sound pack
The project is under constant development
: development road-map is including flight model refinements, enhanced systems depth, additional liveries and other improvements
Skunkcraft Updater is included:
project updates are fast and efficient!
Highly responsive VSKYLABS support forums
The VSKYLABS project is setting up a highly detailed and highly accurate Robinson R44 Raven II simulation along with full VR compatibility, stretching X-Plane capabilities to its limits.

Version 3.0
(January 5th 2024)
Major Update!
Flight model - complete update to latest X-Plane 12:
Improved rotor blades simulation.
Improved throttle governor.
Improved engine power gradient to fall in line with MP limitations more accurately.
Landing skids physics tuneups.
Autorotation regime tune-ups.
Sounds:
Implemented physics-based blade-slap sounds.
FMOD pack converted to v2.0x
Graphics:
All-around PBR new setup to match the latest X-Plane 12 rendering engine.
New/additional default liveries.
Version 2.1
(November 23rd 2022)
Added the Skunkcraft Updater
Version XP12
(September 5th 2022)
Added link for the X-Plane 12 version
Update version v1.1 (9th November 2020)
Systems:
New radios layout (single GNS530 was removed).
1x KX155 (COM1/NAV1).
1x GNS 430 (COM2/NAV2).
Interactivity update:
Dual-system Altimeter setup (InHg/MB): New Altimeter was incorporated into the cockpit, replacing the older one, allowing to set the Altimeter with both systems.
Hide-Cyclic option was added: To allow comfortable view and access to the radios panel when needed, especially in on-VR usage.
Manual POH / Essential PDF's:
Updated with the recent information.
Minor fix release: v1.0f6 (4th November 2020)
Interactivity update:
Ignition key - while is working intuitively in VR
,
it can now be assigned with hardware switches to allow OFF, L, R, BOTH, PRIME action with a single assignment of 'Flaps up/down a notch). With this arrangement, it can be fully manipulated with the simple key/knob assignments.
Key interaction zone was extended to allow more comfortable reach for moues operations.
Manual POH / Essential PDF's:
Updated with the new key/axis assignment information.
Minor fix release: v1.0f5 (2nd November 2020)
Animations/engineering:
Cyclic roll axis has an additional axis now, which is the relative "hand grip", so that cyclic motion sideways is more realistic, representing real-life motion where the pilot holds the cyclic grip while moving it left/right, and the cyclic remains parallel to the ground.
Minor fix release: v1.0f4 (31 October 2020)
Interactivity enhancement:
Rotor brake - can now be assigned with the standard X-Plane key/button assignment rather than direct dataref.
Rotor braking power was set to follow POH-related braking limitations.
Minor fix release: v1.0f (27th October 2020)
Package verification update, new build v1.0f was uploaded to the stores server:
The v1.0e update had some update/server related issues, which resulted in mismatch of file versions causing various odd bugs to pop out right after the release of v1.0 to v1.0e. During the 26th of October, the whole package was remastered, verified and re-packed for the autoupdater server. In addition, the store version was updated with the latest version build v1.0f.
It is highly recommended to re-download the new project package build v1.0f from the stores, as it will guarantee a bug-free installation.
Post release update run: v1.0e (26th October 2020)
Manual POH / Essential PDF files updated to include Governor assignment specification.
Minor fix to beacon/strobe lights internal wiring.
Minor fix to cyclic response during autorotation when throttle is dropped down aggressively during flight at high airspeed (>90 knots), to allow more pitch-up authority until the helicopter stables into the autorotative condition.
Note: Additional autorotation handling refinements are planned as part of the continuous development road-map.
High-Rotor rpm warning audio alert was implemented into the VSKYLABS R44. A warble tone indicates rotor rpm is approaching 108%. Full correlation of rotor rpm needle (above red-line) was set as well.
Minor refinements to textures.
