  • A hugely impressive range of models is included here that manage to mimic the real thing perfectly, looking as realistic as it possibly can and capturing every last detail along the way. This really does look stunning, making the self of self-shadowing and other useful graphical traits to look impressive

  • Realistic spec and shine elements really bring the whole image to life and make it obvious just how effective the design and layout of this aircraft it. This looks truly stunning when put together in the right light and when everything is shown together as part of one simple piece

  • A massive range of animations has been included along the way, too. This matches in perfectly with the performance and the physical design of the aircraft, ensuring that it all looks as realistic as possible. The model comes with FSX specific features such as bump mapping, self-shadowing, and blooming, etc.

  • The aircraft is brought to life with an incredible range of changes along the way that include three H-60 military personnel on-board. They are included to make the whole thing feel as authentic as it possibly can along the way, making each journey feel much more enjoyable and increasingly realistic

  • Perfect sculpting of the MFD to ensure that the MFD system on an H-60 is put together as best it can. This brings the whole thing to life and ensures that you can get the aid that you need in getting used to the calibrations and controls of the chopper

  • The virtual cockpit has been included in resplendent detail and control, giving you unprecedented access and the ability to control the aircraft from start to finish with every possible individual tool and feature that a simulator can handle. Add in the stunning self-shadowing(DX10 needed) and everything can truly come alive

  • Using 2048-pixel bitmaps that look brilliant is the staple of this package, ensuring that the virtual cockpit can come together and really look as impressive as possible. Detail will never be clearer than it is in a H-60 than it is when it is put together with a package like this

  • Simulated StormScope feature

  • Awesome animations made from scratch to make it all come together, especially smaller and more simplistic animations such as the brake pedals being pressed down when you hit them. This makes it very easy to see the little details coming to life, making everything really stand out

  • This product makes use of the famous REALGAUGE technology which is one of the most powerful systems out there for flight sim tools at the moment. With the virtual cockpit now, you more or less be using a 3D model entirely. This looks brilliant, naturally, but it also gives you fully 3D attributes such as the needles and flags

  • Additionally, gauges are completely mosuable and they can all be used by taking on switch parts and watching everything react to every press of a button that you make. Naturally, this is an incredibly exciting thing to go through and enjoy

  • Gauges all come with a fully re-worked nighttime illumination package, too, which looks excellent and provides you with a massive level of realism and detail alongside making it a whole lot easier for you to fly at night!

  • The operation and the detail that is provided here are at odds with the performance. When using this, you can notice massive boosts to your FPS and your overall appearance, giving you a much greater level of enjoyment when you're flying

  • 2D panels are included although they are not needed; if you wish to install them then you are free to do so

Small story... The medevac bird in this package with tail number 952 (X52) was a helicopter that was in the 377 AA company. It crashed in a river during a night flight and luckily all crewmembers survived. The tail rotor and tail rotor gear box separated from the aircraft and was found half a mile dwn the river. Other sections received severe damage also but It was salvaged and returned to the same company and flew another day. I know this because I helped recover the aircraft after it crashed and I was in the company that it belonged to. I still have the tape of it being yanked from the river by a ch47.

It is always hard to find a good helicopter download. This one is almost great. This download of the h-60 is the best one I have found on my quest for a Blackhawk download. I just think the flight dynamics is a little on the touchy side, making it hard to preform ground operations including air taxing. Other than that it fly's great. Now if only I could find one with uscg paint that would be great.

Magnificent! I'm a former h60 crewchief and this is The best Blackhawk I've flown in fsx ever! The detail level of the cockpit is strikingly similar to a real h60 cockpit. The overall detail level is fantastic. The best part, for me at least, is that the stabilator programs in flight like it should, not with collective input. This one is a must have for all the rotary wing lovers like myself!
