H145 Beta 7 is now available for download!
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
- Slightly reduce engine starter .wav sound
- Adjust VMS WEIGHT page knob increment (100kg large, 5kg small)
- Fix for excessive engine N1 / hot starts
- Add weight stations for civil variant (3+2+3 pax + 2 crew = 10 total)
- Add MFD bounce light
- Reduce drag just a bit as both variants are very quick now
- Maximum speed aural based on IAS now
- Added a key bindings system to UserSetup to define any H145 bindings without additional software
- Added an anti-icing system to DEFOG
- Fix inverted EMER SHED BUS bindings

Shame I missed it, having just checked the price.
How does icing effects work with this helicopter? is it factored in to the current version?
Thanks
Sale is still going 
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.

Awesome - thanks for the reply!
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!
It looks great!

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!
It’s called “trim release”
The binding to use is in the manual (sorry, not at the PC or I’d look it up)
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.
Thanks
I only just saw this announcement and now its full price again. 
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!

It’s a great helo guys. I got it last week.
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.
