Microsoft will be releasing the 40th Anniversary Edition of the sim in November and with that, the sim will finally support helicopters. I have had the chance to sit down with Jorg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator and ask him a bit more about what helicopter fans can expect now and in the future.
The company released the first footage of the AW109SP cockpit.
During the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase Livestream 2022, the company has shown 2 helicopters in the sim.
In his most recent video, Tom Woods shows us the 3D model, the (simple) startup, and shutdown and features the custom G1000H.
The free webinar, held in collaboration with Flight Simulation Association, is available as Video-On-Demand (VOD).
The team is going to release their second major service update which will add improvements and make it easier for inexperienced pilots.
The event will take place on December 18, and you will be able to watch companies such as Blu Games, Flightbeam Studios, FlightFX, Laminar Research, NZA Simulations, and Orbx in a special livestream.
JRX has released a couple of video guides and a promo video for the upcoming X-Plane helicopter.
The company has finally changed the status of the development of helicopters for the sim to ‘Started’ and we have a deadline, which is really not that surprising: we should expect helicopters at the end of 2022.
The first video of the tutorial series for the Apache was released and it gives us a glimpse of what we can expect in the upcoming gunship helicopter.
