I've been looking forward to this variant because it has inflatable floatation on it's skids.     I've been doing NeoFly SAR missions in float planes and ever since I saw those bags inflated I've looked forward to adding it to my NeoFly hangar.

  And I can't find the link right now,  but I read a post by them today that stated that Microsoft will not allow them (or anyone else) to place heli's on the marketplace before the sim's official heli support drops.  I was hoping the Xbox people would get.

It definitely looks really nice.  That cyclic alone is crazy ha.

 

As a pure modelling work it's truly something. 

I certainly hope they pull some impressive physics tricks out the bag to match it because once money's on the line people will be a whole lot less forgiving. 

Anyone can have their H135 today,  it's freeware.   https://flightsim.to/file/8970/airbus-h135-helicopter-project

I'll see how the H145 stacks up tomorrow.

Nice!

Check these floats out, 

 

I think I read somewhere that you can take the doors off too.  I think.

I've just cleared my entire calendar for the next 76 hours.

Please report back on the flight model.   

I don't do hype (excuse the pun!) Pretty pictures do nothing for me..  all i need to know is how it flies compared to their H135 flight model.

Cheers.

Looks great, do moden Heli's have rotor slap? if so does this have Rotor slap? 

Look forward to all feed back.

I'm waiting to hear if the tail / yaw is more realistic than the freeware 135. 

If they manage to achieve the Bell 47g addon's smooth feeling tail physics, it should be great 🙂

The one think above all I would like to see, is "stick" trim. 

Heli's dont have self centering "sticks" so a "trim Set" so the heli holds the stick position and allows you to center your stick. You will press it a lot but it saves you constantly having to keep presure on stick, with a TM WH that can get hard. So I really hope it has "stick Trim Hold" or what ever they wish to call it. 

I'm just waiting for those that slammed them for asking for crowdfunding and screamed they wouldn't give them a penny prior to them delivering a product (and questioned if they would)  to now complain that they have to pay more than those that committed to early release...  Just because it's not like flight simmers to complain and want everything "their" way LOL!! 😉
