The final number of missions hasn’t been decided yet since we are still working on the first public release candidate. I’m not sure if we’ll develop additional payware missions in the future.
What has been shown so far can be considered test missions. Part of our current logic is that the test missions we end up shipping with the H145 will serve as templates, and that community members will customize and share these as they please.
@PharaohEo thx for the reply, the quality of your H145 gives me confidence in your future products so i think i am going to pre-purchase the action pack. Any rough eta on release date?
hello, I’m using the h145 beta 9 at the moment, I’m having a strange issue using AirlandFS app, I get no torque reading on the gauges and the propeller stops spinning after a while that I’m flying, but the heli keeps flying like normally even with the prop animation stuck and wrong readings on the gauges, any suggestions?
I’ve gone through this entire topic and I’m convinced. One question that I didn’t see. Can the screens be popped out to use with Air Manager ? For instance, I use the Cessna 172 PFD/MFD screens on a separate touch screen with Knobster.
Yup, went there and downloaded it. Thanks for getting to me. I notice it went out, but then there was a message to reset the AP… cool, a little trouble shooting in the sim. Anyway. Thanks.
A new developer build of the H145 Base Pack has been released and can be downloaded from the H145 Download Center!
The Action Pack is undergoing some final testing and we hope to have it available in the next 24 hours. The attached DRF HEMS screenshot shows a work in progress walkaround sequence

Absolutely loving the action pack add on. Ten out of ten HPG, it really is awesome. Quite challenging too. It really tests your helicopter flying skills. Very immersive and fun. Been doing some rescue missions in Glen Coe. Its great getting the search light mapped to a stick on the throttle.
Surprised this isn’t getting more attention here as its probably the most fun and immersive addition to the sim I’ve purchased so far. I can’t wait to try it in VR but I’m just having so many issues with SU9 bedding in that I wan to wait until thats sorted.
I’ve got a question. In the hoist anywhere mode is there a way of having a short cut key binding to engage the winchman? I find trying to navigate the tablet whilst carefully hovering quite tricky at times. It would be great if you could just hit a key or a HOTAS switch.
It really tests your hovering ability anyway. Especially if you try it in stormy conditions. Great fun.
It’s been awhile, but yes! It’s really incredible how far we’ve come since the H135.
I agree! A lot more attention is given to fixed wing aircraft, and I love them a lot myself - but I think there’s still a large part of the MFS audience that should give helos a chance as it’s really the best way to explore this beautiful and incredible sim Asobo has created.
Yes, the same primary fire keybinding you use to fire rockets and the miniguns in the H145M can be used in the HEMS to operate the winchman - this is a concept we’d like to carry over to all of the variants, an “action key” of sorts.
Yeah definitely. I’m guessing when Asobo bring helicopters natively to the sim later this year there will be more interest maybe. As has been proven with the action pack there’s so much potential for being inventive with what the sim is capable of.
Awsome! Just got it working. Makes a big difference. Thanks.
