Flight model
- Fuselage CFD system. For each version of the helicopter (with tanks, without tanks, one of the tanks, respectively), there are CFDs of the corresponding external tanks
CFD (object surface) for horizontal stabiliser (vertical stabiliser added in place of the rear beam for more stable straight-line flight) - Tail rotor RPM fixed (RPM were lowered)

Navgraph Loading System
- A system for loading/unloading of passengers has been set up. When selecting the flight weight on the tablet, you can now save the configuration and request passenger boarding through the dispatcher. A bus will appear; passengers will walk from it to the helicopter. Near the entry point, the visualisation of walking passengers switches to passengers sitting inside.
