[ANNOUCEMENT] Miltech Simulations MH-60, in Partnership with Blackbird!

ANNOUNCING OUR NEXT HELICOPTER FOR FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2020 AND 2024

We are proud to announce Miltech Simulations MH-60, in partnership with Blackbird Simulations! The team is very excited about this project, as a culmination of several years of research and development in weapon systems, external sling loads and mission-based content. The project is now in final integration phase, meaning that it will be released in two months or less.

We will be covering the Sierra, Romeo and Jayhawk variants, along with a wide range of cabin configurations, special features and a handful of hand-made “mini sceneries”. We are also working on a brand-new, revolutionary mission system to support the aircraft, as well as other aircraft on the Miltech Simulations catalog, to support from SAR Missions and Coast Guard to Antisubmarine Warfare missions with the MH-60.

We had the opportunity to get close to one of these incredible machines a few weeks ago, and over the following weeks we will be releasing content of the development process as Dev Vlogs.

And since many were wondering… What about the UH-60? Well, the famous “Blackhawk” is based on a very similar airframe, but has an entirely different avionics suite. We are well aware of the demand, and are seriously considering releasing UH-60 variants in the future, as a separate product. No ETA at this time.

This announcement is very exciting. A partnership between Miltech and Blackbird is a fantastic endeavor.

Since the release of the IFE/Heatblur F-14, it comes as welcome news that two other leaders in military addon development have now combined their strengths. Although I was already looking forward to a UH-60 variant in 2020/2024, this addon is now the most anticipated addon for me personnally - to be puchased on it’s day 1 release.

Simply a wonderful announcement to see. :+1: Sierra COMBAT Search and Rescue …weapons free… :grin: (even though it’ll be just visual)

Afterthought: The announcement also heightens my anticipation for more fulfilling carrier ops with WWII aircraft, since I recall “rumors” of a 2024 native Blackbird F4U Corsair and an A6M Zero - Although I realize I’m reading more into this announcement than what is actually written. One can hope though. :slightly_smiling_face:

Will it feature an autopilot?

Yes, an AFCS system will be simulated. Scope is yet to be determined, we are actively working on it
