== Introduction ==
=EC135 P2 in FGAddon=
This is an model of the '''Eurocopter EC135''', a light twin-engine, multi-mission [[helicopter]].  
This model for FlightGear simulates the EC135 P2, an older version which has been replaced later by the EC135 P2+. Since late autumn 2014 the current produced version of the EC135 by Airbus Helicopters is the much more powerful EC135 P3/T3


Eurocopter has two version of it: the EC 135 P2i and the EC 135 T2i
[[File:EC135 P2 Cockpit.jpg|thumb|270px|(02/27/2013) EC135 P2 photorealistic Cockpit with analog flight instruments.  
P2 stands for the PRATT and WHITNEY PW 206B2 turbine engine with 743 PS (horsepower).
Overhead panel and many other details done as well as some important center pedestal avionics. Unfortunately the GNS430 and GTX430 are not working yet. Now it needs to connect the switches to the electrical system. FDM is finally tuned to POH and matches climbrates AEO and OEI and airspeed in about 90% all of conditions. :-) ]]
T2 stands for TURBOMECA Arrius 2B2 turbine engine with 706 PS.
The EC 135 descends from the MBB Bo 108. The Bo 108 was a demonstration prototype for fly-by-wire and has it's descend from the famous Bo 105.
When the Eurocopter company was founded, the Bo 108 came with.
Eurocopter decided that there was a marcetplace for such a helicopter and the developement went on.
From the french partners it got the fenestron, from MBB the hingeless rotor.
The fenestron makes it very hard for dangerous situations in the range of the tail rotor and reduces the noise level about 50% to other helicopters
That's why the EC 135 is a vey recommanded helicopter for EMS and the police, especially in Europe but in the USA, Japan and other states too.


==Developement repositories==
Developement takes place at [https://github.com/HHS81/ec135 Github]; when milestones or other important steps had been taken, [https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fgaddon/HEAD/tree/trunk/Aircraft/ec135/ FGAddon] will regularly  updated


The models Includes the german ADAC version, the austrian ÖAMTC version and the EC135-prototype version as default
==Development status/Features:==


== Development status/Issues/Todo ==
* new 3d-model more accurate and detailed, single-livery-texture-file
[[Image:Ec135_LFLJ.jpg|thumb|right|400px|EC 135 "D-HECZ" (prototype) takes off above the clouds at Courchevel; see [[Flying the helicopter]] ]]
* latest shader (bumpspec-reflection and glasshader)
=== Actual version: v.0.4 (in CVS and in upcoming FGFS1.99.5)===
* realistic startup
* new, much more accurate fdm matching 90% of Pilot Operations Handbook values AEO, OEI and Airspeed
* matching tech reports in flight handling 
* more different configurations possible- lowskid, midskid and highskid, different sandfilter, different radomes etc...
* analog dual and single IFR panel available and selectable  with photorealistic textures
* influence of configurations on weight and CoG based on Pilot Operations Handbook
* many different liveries by Sanni, D-ECHO and me!
* and of course completely Rembrandt compatible!
* Sounds remastered


This is a complete rebuild of the ec135 with a much better exterior
model It is currently a work in progress, so a lots of things can be
broken now, but it should be not worser to fly than in the last version.


* complete new exterior with added antennas and other mounting parts(search lights, cameras)
==Todo/Expected ==
* glas shader with fresnel effect
* Autostart, more accurate simulation of the systems (hydraulic, ....)
* variants changing over mp
* emergency float simulation
* better texture mapping so it should be easy to make your own livery
* Sound needs a bit work on the "exhaust sound" and the aural warning system must be done (soundfiles mostly complete)
* making CAD and VEMD and the most important systems working (Canvas)
* different selectable interiors influencing weight HEMS modelled, VIP and Utility(Police)
* Digital Dual and Single IFR Panel
* conversion to EC 635 (needs some changes on exterior and interior model)
* conversion to EC 135 P3 (longer rotorblades, no endplates, smaller tailbumper, new IBF, more powerful engines = more lift, more power! )
* seperate AI model to keep mp-users happy
* and more to come....


Currently in Progress at this date:
==Issues==
* replacing the panels and adding the digital version with a nearly photorealistic one!
* no autosart yet (}-key isn't working)
* adding the overhead
* no emergency float simulation yet
* making it all clickable and working from the cockpit
* better interior : EMS and VIP-version
* remade D-HECZ-Livery
* mapped ec135 with D-HECZ-Livery
* added ADAC Chr. 23-Livery made with photorealistic parts like Fenestron and Logos- still some things missing like lines
* added phtorealistic textures to exhaust and rails
* adding and finishing the missing liveries like the OEAMTC, G-SASA, Bavarian Police
* adding the high skid model


=== Actual version: v.0.2 ===
== Livery List==
* German Bundespolizei
* Air Zermatt
* ÖAMTC (without any markings)
* ADAC D-HDEC ( The real one after this model is made)
* ADAC D-HDAC
* DRF D-HYYY (First ever EC135 rescue helicopter in service)
* Polizei Brandenburg
* Polizei Bayern
* Marine Fluggeschwader 5
* DRF (German Flightrescue)- Thanks to DRF for supporting Sanni making this livery!
