Hope ASOBO solves that in a near future, in the FS2024 they stated that is solved. Yes, I think even showing them a default helo would be better ...much better...mucho mejor...than showing them an airliner. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

Hey Ryan, I have been thinking about picking this up, I am a terrible Heli Pilot lol which has me sitting on the fence a bit. The automation does look very good and all the videos I have seen are extremely positive.

The automation does look very good and all the videos I have seen are extremely positive. It is superb. I guess the most important question I have for you is: what sort of controllers do you have? I have a stick and ch throttle...so it kinda works like a collective. Flying a heli with a yoke is doable but kinda weird. Also you'll want pedals - those are important imo. It is quite easy to fly as the auto flight system sort of assists you as you takeoff and land (this can be disabled with a cyclic trim release function) for full manual authority. And apparently it will also takeoff and land fully automatically but I haven't tried yet. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
October 28, 20232 yr This one and the H145 are certainly easier to fly than most heli’s with all of their automation. Easier is definitely a relative term though as they’re still helicopters and challenging. These are much easier to fly cross country though with their impressive autopilot capabilities that other devs haven’t yet implemented.

For pedals I have a set of Virpil. Not the most realistic Heli setup but it should work. Glad you're enjoying her, she looks a blast !

October 30, 20232 yr What does it take to get the License code for the Hype Group products? I bought the 145 at release, but I don't remember how the License key for it was received. I have the order receipt email from them but that didn't have the license listed . What's the deal? I found the resend activation key, in the app but they keep sending me the key for the 145 that I bought at it's release. Both 145 and 160 products are listed under my account.

October 31, 20232 yr I finally got the second email with download and Key. I did find a way to contact them and did, but I think the system just took a while to throw out the "desired" email.

November 1, 20232 yr 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.

November 1, 20232 yr @ryanbatc some great looking liveries for this great sim chopper. I am really enjoying this helo more than I have any other as well. AMD Ryzen 9900X3D & ASUS X870E Gaming Plus MB, w/64 Gb GSkill DDR5 RAM, PNY RTX 5090 GPU, lots of SSD's and M.2 drives, HAVN Case, Virpil VPC Panels 2 and 3, Virpil Constellation Alpha Stick, Virpil Rotor TCS Plus w/ Hawk-60 Collective grip, TM TCA Yoke Boeing Edition, TM HOTAS A-10 and F/A-18 Sticks and TM TPR Rudder pedals. Currently on Win11
November 1, 20232 yr Helicopters certainly have come a long way in MSFS... this one definitely looks to be a stellar example, and lots more 3rd party ones in the pipeline in what is turning out to be a thriving ecosystem similar to the regular aircraft market for the sim (follow helisimmer.com for all the news/updates). Len 1980s: Sublogic FS II on C64 ---> 1990s: Flight Unlimited I/II, MSFS 95/98 ---> 2000s/2010s: FS/X, P3D, XP ---> 2020+: MSFS Current system: i9 13900K, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 4800 RAM, 4TB NVMe SSD
February 2, 20242 yr What do you think about the flight model of this Aircraft, I can fly very well and smooth and precise both helicopters of MSFS without any assistance on, though this helicopter without auto trim etc. is totally unflyable, for my totally unrealistic, even like for me, maybe with unnatural robotic movements or so?, a pity.
