    I got to try out the MH-60 and talk with some of team at Flight Sim Expo 25. I was insanely impressed, especially with the mission hub integration. It really brings a lot of playability to the sim.

        Yeah, there was a BH crew-chief who also tried it out and he was impressed with the FM. During my conversations with Gabriel, he said they have had a very positive response from actual 60 pilots. What is interesting is that there is a lot of FBW computer stabilization, so they are relatively docile to fly while still feeling big. She is no MH-6 ‘Little Bird’.

    I REALLY hope the MH-60 is everything it’s cracked up to be 🙂

    I’ve seen some vids, but i’m going to wait a week or so to see what the general consensus is. Hopefully will be able to get my hands on the User Guide, as well.
