 this helicopter without auto trim etc. is totally unflyable, 

Modern helicopters are not designed to fly with Auto Pilot or Auto Trim off, If you want to fly without Trim you should map the Trim Release to a button of your joystick and push it while you are flying without Trim.

Besides what I said above, It sounds like your controls are not well configured on the helicopter tablet.

  • 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

  • Thanks! We're trying to bring the fun stuff 😎

Thanks, definitely really is the same or maybe better in the flight dynamics, the problem is that is really more sensitive with the rudder and cyclic gamepad stick movements, and doing it with really tiny-small movements they are solved. The problem is that the Gamepad sensitivities are shared with all the other Gamepad profiles, and they were already tuned for me, maybe I can do other adjustments better for all aircrafts. More funny to fly it without Assistances, though incredibly a pleasure to flight with the assistances on to fly comfy in pleasures and sightseeing flights, there are no other Helis like the HPG ones in the market.

Sorry for the doubts in you HPG, hope someday you can forgive me.

Very happy, I found a mode to fly it sportive and smooth, without the intromission of the trim doing undesirable movements annoying you, and better that disabling the auto trim, set in your gamepad or jotas a comfy button or trigger, the under pasted bindings, button that you can have pressed comfortably while you fly it, and release it when you want the excellent autopilot and auto trim in non so aggressive mode flights e.g. haha, excellent. (And with the H145 is the same in all).

Haven't seen any news yet on their site or over on Helisimmer. If they go ahead with it I hope we'll see a bit more variety in the kinds of missions available.

Any news in the SU15 update?, I hope not like in the 145 that I think the flight model got worse and a bit more unflyable in manual. THE 160 is still very well flyable in manual mode and with the trim release, the 145 now is a bit more like a savage horse haha.

And I hope they solve the ancient "bug" of the rotor not moving at all in other users with the 160 in online, they solved it in the 145 but no in 160 still.

I am getting worried if this is now an abandonware, or they are very busy developing for Asobo and FS24.

Impressive and great helicopter now anyway, and recommended 100%, thanks.

That looks sweet. Going to wait for 2024 though.

I think 2024 will be helicopter heaven.

hopefully

Would this be considered better then all or on par with other top of the line Helos

Abandonware?, I don't think so, are you in their Discord?, there you can download their latest build (82 at the moment) and try it...and I am not sure but I think that the multiplayer rotor was solved (I don't know if it's working at the moment).

If someone want a complex helicopter in MSFS, HPG is the way to go, don't spect anything modern or complex from Microsoft/Asobo, since the release of MSFS 2020 they gave us a Cabri and a B407 and that`s all...It seems that fixed wing pilots are much more fortunate (A310, Working Title Simulations...etc).

I wish we could see a complex helicopter in MSFS2024 but I doubt it based on their videos, they are showing Offshore SAR videos with a H125 😓

Oh, no, I want the official one, the official release in the PC app, I have the latest (H160 Version 1.1 Preview Build 48), the rotor in the 165 is not solved in online HPG160s. And thanks but I don´t like Discord and I do not use it, not interested, thanks hahaha.

 

I agreed too, nothing in chopper market like the HPGs and their AP-systems etc. etc., they are a must addon in MSFS.

 

I have hopes, they told that there was unrevealed aircrafts still, who knows, anyway they have Gyrocopters, yippiiiiii!, my favourite "cheap"-"economic"-ultralight "helicopter" since decades, a lot of fun, like some years ago I had in X-Plane 11 in the ELA 07S, many many hours.
