October 5, 20232 yr For the rotor heads and for those that can appreciate the latest and greatest in aircraft tech, it appears that HPG just announced development (and looking pretty far along) of the Airbus H160. Can definitely see the AS365 and EC155 origins. https://www.helisimmer.com/news/hype-performance-group-announce-h-160-msfs Edited October 5, 20232 yr by STK

October 6, 20232 yr Awesome! The 145 got me into helicopters in MSFS, will definitely add this to the fleet at release. Tired of Streetlights everywhere? Try MSFS DarkStreets today!

October 10, 20232 yr They have posted more details now: Quote Our team at Hype Performance Group (HPG) is thrilled to announce that the HPG H160 helicopter will be the next in our series of immersive helicopter simulations released for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This groundbreaking aircraft will be available exclusively via our website on Friday, October 27th, 2023 at a cost of $49.99 USD for a package that contains both Civilian and Luxury variants of the HPG H160. An Action Pack expansion similar to that offered for our HPG H145 will be released at a later date containing additional mission focused variants of the HPG H160. Simmers who have enjoyed the HPG H145 will feel at home in the H160 due to many shared features and characteristics. The H160 offers new exciting features such as automatic takeoff modes for both vertical and reward takeoff assistance, as well as higher cruise speeds, longer range and much more passenger and crew capacity. An announcement trailer for the HPG H160 has been released on YouTube and more details about the H160's specific features along with more photos can be found on the product page on our website. Previews from content creators around the Microsoft Flight Simulator community are expected to begin hitting YouTube, Twitch and social media sites this upcoming weekend. https://www.hypeperformancegroup.com/products/hpg-h160 Edited October 10, 20232 yr by Zangoose Vote to fix transparent sun visors having no effect on the sun glare effect in MSFS at: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/sun-shades-sun-visors-not-influencing-light-in-cockpit/691565/
October 10, 20232 yr That's a lot of money for a GA Sim Helo, with more required for the expansion pack down the line. That's not to say it isn't necessarily worth it, but it will have to deliver something extremely impressive to match the price.

October 19, 20232 yr The HPG H160 is our team's best work yet and it will be the most advanced helicopter available for Microsoft Flight Simulator. To show off the HPG H160's Automatic Takeoff functionality we enlisted Tactical Pascale to deliver a tutorial for the communality. The HPG H160 will be available next Friday, October 27th exclusively via the HPG website. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0dJYy3uWVU Edited October 19, 20232 yr by HPG My name is Steve and I prefer hand flying.

October 23, 20232 yr https://www.helisimmer.com/previews/quick-look-hype-performance-group-h160 Sergio's conclusion:If you are looking for a highly automated helicopter, at the level of modern airliners, the H160 will offer you all that. There’s not much more I can say in this preview, really. It does what it says it does in the tin. It flies the way I believe it’s supposed to fly, systems are complex – and amazing – the artwork is incredible. Again, I wish the sounds were a bit more present as I feel it takes away from the simulation but the real H160 may be like that so I will give it the benefit of the doubt. If you enjoyed Hype Performance Group’s H145, get the H160. You will not regret it.

October 23, 20232 yr I watched a preview of this Heli last night, it's stunning the work they have put into the model and system depth. A buy from me.
