530F by Shrike Released

It shows “Not available” ( Xbox Series X)

There is none that is in development, but it would make a great follow up addon companion to the MH-60 :grin:

Blackbird knows how to do both depth and fun. The 530F demonstrates the fun side.

Still showing as NOT AVAILABLE in 2024….

Are weapons included in the Xbox msfs24 Version?

Officially not supported in 2024.

Yes sir, I remebered that and checked, and now I have it in the list. Thanks

But still works pretty well in 2024.

Soon, it takes a little while to get through marketplace processing. I would check again on Thursday.

The update has been released today for PC and Xbox - Now usable in 2024. There is a list of what changed in the documentation folder.

It’s available for msfs24 on xbox.

But with the newest update i am not able to add FLIR pods 40lbs and searchlights 20lbs in fs2020 …that worked prior to the update! on xbox (weapons did not work because of marketplace restrictions) Now it shows weapon pods available but when i type in the correct weight 435lbs…it does not work.

Things like the doors and pods are controlled by switches under a cover in the center console on this version.

Two requests for clarity:

  1. The update notes and the in sim display options say GNS 530, but what’s visible is a 430. What am I missing?
  2. Is there a way to display someone in the copilot seat? Setting weights has no impact and I don’t see an option from the center console.

New version of the 530F is 1.2.1.
