[Announcement] Stratoware + Miltech Simulations Bo105

Project Stratosphere and Miltech Simulations are thrilled to announce that we are bringing the iconic MBB Bo 105 in partnership, to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 by Q1 2026.

The MBB Bo 105 CBS-5 is a twin-engine, multi-role light utility helicopter developed by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) in West Germany. Renowned for its exceptional versatility, manoeuvrability, and precision control, earning it a legendary status in the aviation industry. Designed to accommodate one or two pilots and up to four passengers, the helicopter is celebrated worldwide for its reliability and an outstanding performance across various demanding environments.

You may follow the development of the aircraft on Project Stratosphere’s website and Discord server:

Nice, fixed head means it is one of the few helicopters that can be completely rolled, wonder how the sim deals with this.

It’s also the forerunner of the EC 135/145 etc.

Loved the MH60, will enjoy piloting the Bo105!

Very cool! The Canadian Coast used to have one based near where I grew up, I think I’ve even got a picture of me sitting in the pilot’s seat at an open house somewhere. Looking forward to this one!

Nice, I have a lot more faith in you guys than I do for the other miltech- miltech5 who after 12 years in development still can’t demonstrate a flight model. Sure has pretty graphics tho

In case you guys missed it - the Official Announcement Trailer for the Stratoware Bo105 in partnership with Miltech Simulations is out:

First day purchase for me.
The trailer looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Nice, that’s now on the future purchase list.

Will this be on marketplace for us xbox players on the 22?! :crossed_fingers:t2::crossed_fingers:t2::crossed_fingers:t2:

Not on the 22nd. We can’t confirm a Marketplace release date as it does not fully depend on us, but the files are being ingested for console testing this weekend.

Embargo has been lifted!

Based on these videos, I’m definitely adding the Stratoware + Miltech Bo105 to my MSFS “hangar”.

1 Day! We are go for launch :smile:

In the meantime, enjoy this extensive review by Matthew Crawford!

To keep from repeating, see my comment regarding rotor disk… MBB Bo105 by Stratoware & Miltech | First Look + Startup Flight

Update: The cone does appear to be correct now. Much relieved!

It has beautifully modelled coning.
