Hello everyone! As you know our Mi-2 model has been on sale for a few days. Now it’s time to share our plans as regards to further project development.

:white_check_mark: MSFS-2020

We began collecting primary user feedback for our first update which will come around mid May and most probably will already bring Polish model version :poland: to MSFS! Polish version will include cockpit, livery pack and user manual. Following that, later there will be another extension update including livery pack based on user feedback and some other minor improvements. After that the model will have standard customer feedback and sim update support. The model will be supported even after MSFS-2024 release.

:check_box_with_check: MSFS-2024

We received massive feedback from the community that wants to see Mi-2 helicopter in MSFS-2024! That is really great news for us and we are pleased to announce that the work on 2024 version is already underway! As we mentioned this version will be significantly different from the MSFS-2020 version.

:up_arrow: What will be that difference:

  1. Full walk-around mode will be added

  2. Exterior interaction and ground maintenance will be implemented

  3. Custom tablet will be implemented

  4. Cockpit and exterior customization options will be added

  5. New Hoplite modifications will be added: passenger, transport, ambulance, police, arctic, rescue, fire-fighting and aerobatic.

This is a preliminary list, some more options may be added.

We will also keep you posted on the MSFS-2024 version development news!

Stay tuned and thank you for joining our community!:grinning_face:

2020-2024 compatibility2560×1440 289 KB

Hello everyone! :waving_hand:

Great news for those who waited for MSFS-2024 compatibility and a few words regarding the Polish Pack!

We saw multiple queries regarding MSFS-2024 compatibility of Mi-2. Although initially we did not plan to make this compatibility, we see that many of you have switched to 2024 version of MSFS and we would not want to leave you waiting for your favorite helicopter! :heart: :joystick: :helicopter:

The MSFS-2024 compatibility update will be available already in June so you can enjoy Mi-2 in the new platform even before the extended MSFS-2024 version is released later this year!

MSFS-2024 compatibility update will include:

  1. All fixes to MSFS-2020 version (v. 1.1.0)
    -3D fixes
    -Decrease of inverted cone of the rotor,
    -Setting the rotor brake handle to upright position
    -Adding realistic twitching of the gyro-magnetic compass
    -Flight model tuning

  2. Fixing of bugs in MSFS-2024:
    -Double avatar
    -Sound issues
    -Night lighting
    -Flight model tuning
    -MSFS-2024 SDK compatibility features related to 3D, lighting and walk-around mode

:white_check_mark: This upgrade will be for FREE for those who have already bought the current MSFS-2020 model.

:bullseye: For new users the model will be available at EARLY PRICE for the first 2 weeks (15 % OFF) after MSFS-2024 compatibility release.

The full extended version for MSFS-2024, sold separately, is still scheduled for later this year with all the features mentioned:

  1. Full walk-around mode;
  2. Exterior interaction and ground maintenance;
  3. Custom tablet;
  4. Cockpit and exterior customization options;
  5. New modifications.

:rocket: All customers who purchase Mi-2 standard MSFS-2020/2024 version will receive an EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT for upgrading to the extended MSFS-2024 version!

:poland: Now regarding what we promised for mid-May – Polish Update (cockpit, liveries and manual).

Part of the feedback that we received relates to 3D such as the wrong positioning of the fuel tanks as well as the animation of right front and back doors. Correction of these features resulted in changes to texture maps and consequently effected the liveries. Also a number of fixes are dedicated to instrument corrections (scale direction of magnetic compass, guide marks on gyro-magnetic compass needle), adding of external temperature indicator and first aid kit.

All this led to changes in our plans for next update, specifically the release date of the Polish Pack: liveries, cockpit and manual, moving it to the beginning of June.

We apologize for the schedule shift. We chose the path of quality over haste and hope you will support us.

Next week there will be a special post about the Polish Pack :poland: :helicopter:

We thank you for your active participation and really appreciate the support that you have shown across all of our socials in sharing your experience using the model. :heart:

This helps us become better and focus on areas that are crucial to you! :+1:
