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.

Download published available when cockpit is usuable
==Issues==
 
* no autosart yet (}-key isn't working)
* after that:
* no emergency float simulation yet
- Digital Panel
 
- conversion to EC 635 (needs some changes on exterior and interior model)
 
=== Actual version: v.0.6 (EC135-Repo on gitorious.org) ===
 
* fixes wrong rotorshaft tilt in fdm
* some bugfixes on fuselage
* sound fixed
 
very next To-Do:
* rotor model and animation
* bugfixing on windscreen
* instruments finishing
 
=== Actual version: v.0.5 (FGFS 2.6.0 release) ===
 
* photorealistic panel
* liveries improved
* better fps-perfomance while changing liveries
 
=== Actual version: v.0.4 (FGFS 1.9.1 release) ===
 
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)
* glas shader with fresnel effect
* variants changing over mp
* better texture mapping so it should be easy to make your own livery
 
Currently in Progress at this date:
* replacing the panels and adding the digital version with a nearly photorealistic one!
* 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 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 ===
 
* fully new made 3D-model - matching real good to the real one
* improved interior with stick and pedals

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. :-)
