Miltech Simulations broadcast a livestream providing the first look at a new helicopter and updates on its ongoing projects for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020.
The new helicopter is the MBB Bo 105 (Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm Bo 105), made in collaboration with Project Stratosphere.
It comes in a myriad of variants, from military to various civilian uses, and the release is very close and “closer than we think,” although no release date was provided.
It’ll include both native MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020 versions, and sounds will be made by Echo 19.
You can check it out directly in the livestream below.
We also get an update on the Lockheed U-2 high–altitude reconnaissance aircraft. In the slides below, you can find a comprehensive recap of the state of development.
The aircraft will also be released for both MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020, and it’ll include both U-2R and U-2S variants.
Next is a look at the Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion, which also got a series of slides showcasing the progress of the project.
This one will likely be MSFS 2024 exclusive, given the complexity and size of the model.
Work is also beginning on the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey version 2, which is being reworked from the ground up and could come early next year.
I’m sure we0ll bring you the aircraft you are seeking
Interestingly, the developers also dropped a potential hint about a possible future project, mentioning that “they’re sure they’ll bring the aircraft we are seeking.” “Seeking” is a peculiar wording, and certainly appears to be a reference to the Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King.
