Eurocopter has two version of it: the EC 135 P2i and the EC 135 T2i
P2 stands for the PRATT and WHITNEY PW 206B2 turbine engine with 743 PS (horsepower).
T2 stands for TURBOMECA Arrius 2B2 turbine engine with 706 PS.

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

* variants changing over mp
* better texture mapping so it should be easy to make your own livery


Currently in Progress at this date:
==Developement repositories==
* replacing the panels and adding the digital version with a nearly photorealistic one!
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
* adding the overhead
* 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 ===
==Development status/Features:==


* fully new made 3D-model - matching real good to the real one
* new 3d-model more accurate and detailed, single-livery-texture-file
* improved interior with stick and pedals
* latest shader (bumpspec-reflection and glasshader)
* changed variants: ADAC Chr. 31 "Berlin", D-HECZ "second prototype", ÖAMTC Christopherus 1
* realistic startup
* improved cockpit with half analog IFR-panel
* new, much more accurate fdm matching 90% of Pilot Operations Handbook values AEO, OEI and Airspeed
* HSI is now working, working VOR
* matching tech reports in flight handling 
* GSDI selectable
* more different configurations possible- lowskid, midskid and highskid, different sandfilter, different radomes etc...
* improved and more detailed main rotor with incidence animation
* analog dual and single IFR panel available and selectable with photorealistic textures
* Fenestron now with the correct configuration of the blades: 1-4-1-4
* influence of configurations on weight and CoG based on Pilot Operations Handbook
* dynamic flight model now with the correct position of the CG
* many different liveries by Sanni, D-ECHO and me!
* added frontlight, retractable landinglight, strobes with the correct frequency, beacon with the correct frequency
* and of course completely Rembrandt compatible!
* rotor brake system now working
* Sounds remastered


To-Do:
* adding antennas and other mounting parts (search lights, cameras)
* fully clickable [[cockpit]] (half-analog and digital)
* complete light function
* variants with radardome
* variants with high-skid
* much more (international)variants!
* realistic dynamic flight model
* mainrotors much more detailed
* animation of the fenestron blades (incidence)
* sound still could be improved
* adding pilots figures


=== Actual version: v.0.1 ===
==Todo/Expected ==
* Autostart, more accurate simulation of the systems (hydraulic, ....)
* emergency float simulation
* 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....


* first 3d-model of an ec135
==Issues==
* first try of an ec135-flight dynamic model
* no autosart yet (}-key isn't working)
* livery changing
* no emergency float simulation yet
* two version: ADAC and Bavarian Police
* first version of the half analog cockpit
* doors to open


To-Do:
== Livery List==
* better quality of the 3d-model
* German Bundespolizei
* full mainrotor animation
* Air Zermatt
* better Fenestron
* ÖAMTC (without any markings)
* improve cockpit, implementing a working HSI

* DRF D-HYYY (First ever EC135 rescue helicopter in service)
* realistic dynamic flight model
* Polizei Brandenburg
* selectable GSDI
* Polizei Bayern
* implementing rotor brake system
* Marine Fluggeschwader 5
* more variants
* DRF (German Flightrescue)- Thanks to DRF for supporting Sanni making this livery!

This is an model of the Eurocopter EC135 P2, a light twin-engine, multi-mission helicopter.

The EC 135 descends from the MBB Bo 108. The Bo 108 was a demonstration prototype for fly-by-wire and has it's descent from the famous Bo 105. When the Eurocopter company was founded, the Bo 108 came with. Eurocopter decided that there was a marketplace for such a helicopter and the development 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 highly recommended helicopter for EMS and the police, especially in Europe but also in the USA, Japan and other states.

EC135 P2 in FGAddon

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

(02/27/2013) EC135 P2 photorealistic Cockpit with analog flight instruments. 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. :-)
