Microsoft Flight Simulator Airbus H160 by Hype Performance Group

Microsoft Flight Simulator third-party developers had a couple of reveals to share today including a new upcoming helicopter, on top of a rather exotic scenery release. 

We start with the announcement of the brand-new Airbus H160 helicopter, one of the most recent helis in the industry. 

It was announced at Hype Performance Group (makers of the excellent Airbus H145) on its Discord Server and more information is going to be shared next week.

In the meantime, we got a few pictures. 

 

Black Square and Just Flight released one more video of the Socata TBM 850, and this time it's all about the engine and the beta range. 

As usual, the video is very impressive, showing a really high level of detail. 

Last, but not least, we get a release from Cli4d on the iniBuilds store. This actually doesn't include the airport (that was nicely updated with the World Update Oceania, so doesn't really need urgent improvements) but boosts the visual fidelity of the whole island.

The pricing is $10.39 and you can find a list of features and a trailer below. 

  •  Complete overhaul of Mt. Pahiya and Mt. Otemanu
  •  Vegetation and elevation fixes
  •  Additional tropical vegetation
  •  Additional static and animated boats
  •  Added missing huts
  •  Fictional scenes(beach scene, log cabin, cave)
  •  Animated sea life(dolphins, sharks, whales) and birds
  •  Reef line, Shore and waterline fixes (with additional rocks)
  •  Bonus: Find the treasure chest if you can but beware of sharks!

As usual, please don't forget that we have daily Microsoft Flight Simulator news to provide you with regular updates on the many, many add-ons announced and released for this popular sim.
