Hype Performance Group, best known for the Airbus H135 & Icon A5 - 2021 Performance Edition are proud to present one of the most immersive civilian helicopter simulations ever developed. This helicopter is the perfect aircraft to tour the full world scenery in Microsoft Flight Simulator or to execute your missions with precision. You can hand fly or employ the unique auto-flight control system features to spend more time focusing on the job (or sightseeing!) and less time on managing the aircraft. This product is an artistic rendition of the real H145, developed from the flight manuals and pilot feedback.
We are offering an Early Access program for the Airbus H145 which will allow owners of the H145 to provide direct feedback to our developers over the course of production. Download our Early Access guide for more information!
THIS IS AN EARLY ACCESS PLEDGE, THE H145 LUXURY & CIVILIANT VARIANTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD AT THIS TIME.THE H145 MILITARY VARIANT IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT.
Background

We’ve been busy this past week adding rotor downwash effects (dust, dirt/sand, water and snow), doing even more performance work, adding new visual effects, added infinite key bindings, resolving an important bug with the flight model relating to your sim fps and much more. We’ve also heard your feedback and due to the aggressive icing model in the sim, we’ve added an anti-ice system to the DEFOG knob.
Full changelog is included below:
Add rotor downwash effects
Enable livery authors to select skid struct caps on/off (on by default, no user option)
Various performance improvements for low end machines
Fix flight model, rotor animation, N2/NR acceleration and strobe/beacon lights to not be connected to sim fps
VNE and VY are now corrected calculated and presented on the airspeed tape
Changes to basic weight of lux and civil variants
Rework most built-in bindings to use H:Events
Switch away from /Held/ bindings (Engine Up/Down) to avoid key repeat
We have temporarily reduced the price of our H145 - Early Access Civilian, Luxury & Military Variant Bundle from $42.99 USD to $34.99 USD !
The discount will automatically be applied at checkout. This sale is for a limited time only and is available only from our website HypePerformanceGroup.com
Visual icing present and if you fail to turn on PITOT heat you will get icing and lack of airspeed, and the AFCS goes nuts if you do that.
There is no icing model for the rotor right now, but we’re discussing internally, also remember the H145 is not rated for icing conditions - but we do allow for the deicing via a switch in the cockpit.
I somehow missed the part of your ad that states “The discount will automatically be applied at checkout” sorry about that!, I am going to go and purchase it now!
Hey guys, what the heck do you call the trim button for helos where you press and hold, reposition the stick, then release to change the “center”? I need to map this for the 145 and can’t remember the name!
The Hype H 145 helicopter is amazing! Thank you so much for the work of the development team!
Amazing, high quality exterior model, cockpit! I’m happy! I also like the flight dynamics of the helicopter.
I ask the Hype development team to make a classic Bell 206 JetRanger helicopter. I would like to see the Bell 206 JetRanger helicopter made in high quality.
Our Holiday Sale will be ending tomorrow 11:59PM (EST) on New Year’s Eve! This is your last chance to buy the H145 Early Access bundle at $34.99 instead of its normal price of $42.99!
MSFS flight model has it’s limitations, but that will be fixed. Hype is really focused on systems depth and they are very responsive to community suggestions.
As a real life pilot, it’s one of the few MSFS purchases I’ve actually been happy with. Worth the 43 bucks, and a good deal at 35.
@PharaohEo Wow, what a great Helicopter. I like the H135 but this one is amazing. Just did my first journey, a trip along the south coast of England. Love this, will be using it a lot. Thanks for the hard work, and also the sale extension.
I was really enjoying the H135 after one of the last big updates, it is nice and controllable/easy to fly for me (a heli novice) It converted me over to enjoying helis. I have to say the H145 is an absolute pleasure to fly, it is soo smooth. I could cruise about sightseeing in it all day. In fact I may park my other new aircraft this weekend to do just that.
