... 135/145 and 45g projects need to get together and have a lovechild - we'll all be saved

 

If it comes out looking like an Aerospatiale AS350 then I'll gladly give that love child a home! 😁

So does the H145 have that same odd "glitch" or "jerk" every several seconds like the H135 does?

If the answer to this is no Ill buy today 🙂

 

Honestly, it's great from an eye candy/sounds perspective but seems to be lacking "guts" and proper flight dynamics.  

Can't tell if it has multiple flight modes, no documentation pointing to that included.  Not sure if it is expected you would have the 135 installed as well.  I don't have any tablet functionality, just landing lights, GPU but no config options etc.

TBH for the money I would advise most to pass.  It's a revised 135 with no documentation or real physics advancements according to HPG themselves.   Do I regret the purchase, kind of at the moment.  Hopefully it will continue to be refined but it is not an advanced physics helo by any means. 

"Hype Performance Group

Fernando Maraschin Louzada we will be in the marketplace in 2022, the flight model is more refined than the H135 currently but not a night a day difference. Feedback has been positive and in the group session we had of about 50 simmers earlier we didn’t hear many complaints and people agreed it was an improvement over the H135."

If you are part of their Discord - I would highly suggest reading the H145 FAQ channel. As it answers some of your queries.

I would like to but can't get to their discord and why would they have an FAQ on Discord but not included with the documentation.  I've read all the included documentation and none if it addresses my questions above.  The 135 documentation (which I just downloaded) is more thorough than what the paid version came with...   That alone is an issue.  

The other niggling thing is paying for the 145 with a dependency on a freeware 750.  What if the freeware version of the 750 goes away?  Seems it would have been more appropriate for a payware offering to have a licensing agreement with the makers of the 750 and some sort of compensation for usage of the payware version...   Now my entire investment is dependent on a 3rd party not changing their model...

Would I invest others to pay for early access at this point, no, I'd advise to wait for the final versions (unless this is a final version as early access) and see how it progresses.   If this is a final product as early access and they are just modelling the other versions I actually wouldn't recommend paying as you are "primarily" getting different models.   Even the systems depth is still a lot of show from what I can tell.  For example I accidentally moved my mouse over the Engine modes with the entire bird powered down and it started on it's own with nothing else correctly set up yet...  The rest of the cockpit was still cold and dark.  Not what I would expect.

You will have to ask them. Also it's still an early access product so you can expect things not to be as polished. Anyway, here is the FAQ for you:

GTN750

Q: Why does the display say GTN? Where do I get the pms50 GTN750 addon?
A: https://pms50.com/msfs/downloads/gtn750-basic/

Q: Is the GTN750 required?
A: No, H145 will work without it, but the GTN750 adds a lot of functionality with no disadvantages

Q: Do I have to pay for it?
A: No. The free version is more than enough.

AUTOPILOT

Q: Which AP modes work?
A: HDG ALT NAV GTC.H. Other modes may activate but will NOT do anything yet.

Q: How do I engage the NAV mode?
A: Click the CPL key (couple/decouple) on the bottom of the pilot MFD.

Q: How do I change the NAV source between NAV1, NAV2 and GPS?
A: Press the NAV key on the bottom left of the pilot MFD.

Q: What is beep trim?
A: quick primer on AFCS and beep trim: https://discord.com/channels/426503612819046401/814935624745222194/880349771393536021

Q: Will it get better later?
A: Yes! 4-axis AP is coming later.

BASIC / ADVANCED FLIGHT MODE

Q: Does H145 have Basic/Advanced modes?
A: Yes. The Torque push button will display OFF for basic mode, and BLANK for Advanced. Advanced is the new default mode.

Yes! Inbound for KHAF. It's actually pretty good for early access. I only fly with advanced FM

"Rotor Sim Pilot",  flies single engine rotary wing IRL.   Here is his evaluation,  which he uploaded on the 27th.

Not for me, waiting until the sim supports heli’s before I part with my hard earned cash👍
