euanfyfe Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 There were helicopters in FSX. I am not qualified to comment on their qualities but they were usable. Perhaps this is the biggest opening for other developers. oldpuffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainsman Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Only speculation, but maybe those will be developed by third party affiliates as payware addons?

dogdish Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Why Microsoft rushed FS2020 out without at least ONE helicopter is a mystery. I think it will be a free update though Gigabyte GA-X99 Gaming G1, i7-5960X, Noctua NH-D14, Crucial Ballistix Elite 64Gb, Nvidia GTX Titan X, Creative ZxR, Ableconn PEXM2-130, WD Black SN750 250Gb & 2Tb NVMe/Gold 10Tb HDD, Sony BDU-X10S BD-ROM, PC Power & Cooling 1200w, Cosmos C700M, Noctua iPPC 140mm x6, Logitech M570/K800, WinX64 7 Ultimate/10 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anaismith Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Perhaps a licensing issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 The sim has a new flight model and they’ve been focused on getting it to work with fixed wing aircraft and have said helicopters will be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th1racer Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 The sim has a new flight model and they’ve been focused on getting it to work with fixed wing aircraft and have said helicopters will be added. Thats great news and most likely Helicopters will be in a expansion pack for $. Another reason I am gonna wait ! One thing i do to keep FSX interesting is to follow the NASCAR schedule. Before the race weekend I fly from my home airport KDTW Detroit to the nearest airport where they are racing. Then hop in a Heli and fly to the track. Then back. Am really hoping FS2020 adds Helicopters ! Am designing my new cockpit with that scenario in mind ! FSX. As of now I have 3 laptops all utilizing & linked to FSX, 1 - 32" TV for Gages, 40" TV for Main View. Saitek Pro Flight Control System. Am building a new rig and flight deck. Most likely going to X-Plane 11 for Sim. Also might buy MFS2020 for the pretty Pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
