CH-149 Cormorant [extreme realism]

The AgustaWestland CH-149 Cormorant is the Canadian Forces designation for the AgustaWestland AW101 (formerly EH101), a helicopter used for air-sea rescue in Canada. Developed as a joint venture between Westland Aircraft in the UK and Agusta in Italy (now merged as Leonardo), the CH-149 is a medium-lift helicopter for military applications.

FEATURES:
-autopilot
-altitude hold
-very realistic startup procedure
-attachable stretcher and harness (winch is controllable from the red harness)
-radar
-radio
-transponder
-spotlight
-automatic heater
-speed 113 KNT (130 mph, 210 km/h)
-more than 40 minutes of fuel (approximate range of 140 km)
-flight time displayed in minutes (using CrazyFluffyPony's MC)

Start-up procedure (this checklist can be also found on the top panel of the cockpit):
1.batt on
2.master switch
3.apu on
4.apu start (hold until APU ON indicator turns on)
5.tank 1&2 fuel pumps
6.engine ignition switch
7.rotor brake
8.gen 1&2
9.wait ROTOR RPM indicator to turn off
All the switches can be found in the top panel of the cockpit

With autopilot and altitude hold activated the helicopter will not keep the desired altitude because the center of thrust is much higher than the center of gravity (for construction reasons), therefore a pitch down attitude is induced and the altitude hold cannot contrast it enough until the helicopter reaches an altitude of about 90 meters below the set altitude.
One solution would be to reduce the thrust but it would also reduce the maximum speed, when I built it I decided to give this thrust to it and accept the fact that it will lose some altitude.

NOTE: only autopilot will travel at maximum speed
NOTE: do not change altitude hold settings while autopilot is active
NOTE: do not use autopilot in strong wind conditions
