  • I've finally had a few hours with this heli... it's incredible!  The sounds, the visuals, the in depth systems.  I've had to make a new controller profile and it took a few mins to setup but it's well

  • I've done a few liveries for this thing so far (found at the usual place).  The product itself is simply excellent.  My favorite helicopter in any sim, to date. Untitled-3 by Ryan Butterworth, on

Awesome! The 145 got me into helicopters in MSFS, will definitely add this to the fleet at release.

Are you planning to do the FMS like in the real one or "only" GTN750?

They have posted more details now:

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.

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.

I will answer myself, I see in the product page that the CMA 9000 FMS is coming after launch.

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

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.

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.
