More helicopters, what's coming?

I am in no hurry as I am far from basic proficiency with the Cabri  😁 but if I had a choice to make that would be for a heavy lifter for a contrast, like the Airbus  225 Superpuma

I wouldn't mind to have a good H225, It would be awesome to have a complex helicopter for the first time in a home simulator.

Yo can do that with skids too, you don't need wheels for that. Usually are the lightweight helicopters the ones with skids or fixed wheels due to weight and to have less moving parts. With retractable landing gear you are more aerodynamic too so you can go faster and burn less fuel.

No design decision is made in a vacuum, and most of them come down to a trade-off of some kind. Primary design intent & use weighs heavily in the decision.

I.e., there are reasons you won't find many heavy-lift helos with skids, just as you won't find many "LSA" helos with wheels.

E.g., cargo helos will be far more likely to regularly operate from prepared airfield surfaces and at weights placing them well beyond their IGE hover limits, thus they actually need an extended take-off/landing run where the damage/danger from dragging skids hundreds of yards down a runway is unacceptable.

I have just seen their model here: Twitch and now my eyes can't stop bleeding.

What was wrong with it?

The textures, I hope those aren't the final ones.

We need more elegance. Bell 430 and Airbus H160 please.

The sold ticket is on!

I will be very interested to see how this comes out. I have thousands of hours conducting operations in and out of CH-47 heli's. That bird is one of the most underrated and most capable rotor aircraft ever built.

I'm also looking forward to the Chinook, ditto for the Bell 430 someone asked for. And there must be a reason, but I don't get why no one's considering making the Bell 412.
