Where's the best place for feedback? 

Email please, contact at milechsimulations .com

A video of the animations would be useful, it may be due to framegen or a different graphic settings

Is the animation the same for all MH-60 variants? 

Yep its the same

purchase this along with the mission hub.

I went for it, too. In for a penny, in for a pound!

IMHO, Mission Hub has great potential, and I really like how it appears to be open to all addons, not just the -60, and not just MilTech. 
 

would love to see it widely adopted. 

Of the 3 helicopters recently released it seems two cannot load an rnav approach and display vertical glide path.

Can this one load an rnav approach with LPV or LP mins and display that glide path on the EHSI?

I took for a quick spin during lunch. Not sure about RNAV approaches, but here is a link on navigation system

Don’t have it yet myself cause I’m on SU3 so I will wait for fixes.  But, I don’t believe it loads approaches cause the real one doesn’t.  This is a combat helicopter so the systems aren’t designed as civilian helos would be.  That being said I don’t know if the Coast Guard MH-60Ts can do this with their CAAS avionics but the Miltech MH-60T shares the cockpit with the R/S versions and is an external model only.  They did not model CAAS avionics but may in the future if they decide to do a UH-60.

You might be surprised at how “primitive” most military avionics systems are in this regard. Probably only the logistics airframes and maybe the long range bombers have systems that are usable with civilian satnav points/routes, etc. 

and that’s entirely down to mission profiles. The cargo/tanker planes are in and out of civ airports so often it makes sense. Whereas tactical aircraft like this are usually performing very specific and non-standard flight plans to meet specific objectives unrelated to orderly traffic flow.

I had  student once who was Black Hawk helicopter army pilot . To my surprise he had less then 100 hours in BH considering that he actually was deployed once already. When I ask him how complicated Black Hawk was to fly he always said it was very easy the only part he hated in night goggles

This is all correct. Military helicopters, and particular these type of Navy helis, are very limited with regard to IFR flying. Since most operations are above water at low altitude, or from ships, these helicopters primarily operate using "FTPs" (fly to points), which are coordinate-based waypoints loaded onto the aircraft prior to a flight using a datakey. 

IFR maps following SIDs and STARs are rarely followed. As an ATC on a busy area, you wouldn't want a heli flying at 60 knots slowing down approaches for everyone else. 

I had no idea..

I figured being glass it could at least load an IAP.  I've worked tons of helicopters as an ATC that have shot practice approaches, even some military ones.

Good to know thanks guys!

I remember I think it must have been the late 90’s or early 00’s I sat in an earlier navy variant of one of these at the San Francisco fleet week.

On seeing the analog gauges I said to the pilot that I was surprised as I thought it would have had a glass cockpit. 
To which the young pilot tapped the windscreen and said “ No sir.. plexiglass I think”

I see in the pics and description that the Cowan's S76 has modeled the autopilot and an FMS but I couldn't even find one video about this helicopter yet, It could be that this one can do it.

The one that can do it for sure (in real life) is the H225 but at the moment (in the sim) It doesn't even have upper modes and I don't know if they are planning to simulate this option in the FMS.

I worked on the -60's predecessor (The SH-3 Sea King) for 12 years as an Avionics Tech, and I can attest that our birds spent around 65% of their flight time in a 40 ft hover, either as "plane guard" off the port side of a carrier, or dipping their AQS-13 sonar bell into water, trying to find subs.  The ASN-123 TACNAV was its navigation system and scary-reliable (I only changed out one unit in 12 years).  The -123's box weighed approx 42 pounds (80's electronics), was about a foot wide and 1.5 ft long.  They were NOT fun to tote up and down ladders on the ship, LOL (although with the exception of that one time, I was only carrying them from the main shop to the tech shop to have them calibrated or new software loaded).

Anyway, Navy ASW/SAR helos spend most of their lives hovering over salt water, with their rotor wash providing a nice saltwater mist all over the aircraft. Needless to say (but I'm saying it anyway), over 60% of the maintenance man-hours were spent by all "ratings" (AT AE, AD, AMs, etc) fighting corrosion.  One of the 1st things a new airman to the shop learns how to do is "scrub cannon plugs" 🤣 

To the topic at hand, our helos did not even have an ILS system, it was not required for its mission, at least back when it was originally designed...back in the late 50s! 😗

Sorry, I digress (hey I'm a sailor, we tell stories, LOL).

Are the front doors removable?

Not that I have found.
