Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 MH60

Today Militech Simulations released plenty of new details and new screenshots about the upcoming Sikorsky MH-60 helicopter for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and 2020 announced a few weeks ago.

According to the official post, the aircraft is in the “final integration phase,” meaning that 3D art, liveries, flight model, and programming are nearly completed.

The developers are now working on putting everything together, testing, the manuals, and finalizing the paint kits.

The plan is to start beta testing at the end of March and release the helicopter in late April, but this is not set in stone. The PC version will release for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 on the same day. The developers are also considering a simultaneous release on Xbox, but it’s not guaranteed.

The final pricing is not set in stone yet, but the plan is for it to be “in the mid-30s US dollars.”

Speaking of Xbox, the aircraft is Xbox-friendly and flies well with a controller thanks to the active Stability Augmentation System.

The package will include the following variants:

It’ll also come with dedicated mini-sceneries:

The folks at Sundowners Simulation are also working on Naval Air Station Key West and Naval Air Station North Island which will be released separately.

Here are some of the systems you can expect.

We can also expect the following feature in the custom mission system included in the add-on.

Incidentally, the helicopter was developed in partnership with Blackbird Simulations, which created the 3D model, and the developers mention that we can expect more from this partnership in the future. The sounds are by  Echo 19.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is available for PC and Xbox Series X|S.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is also available for the same platforms following its recent release in November. if you want to see the massive visual difference against Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, you can enjoy our video and screenshot comparison.

A few weeks ago we published an extensive interview with Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann about the present situation of the sim and the plans for the future.

Incidentally, just yesterday Microsoft shared an extensive update about its plans for the sim, so you may want to read it to integrate what is said in this interview.
