Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) just got a new addition that is sure to take flight simulation to the next level. GotFriends, a renowned aircraft developer, has recently released the Mini-500, a single-pilot helicopter designed to bring an immersive flying experience to players.
The Mini-500 is based on the Revolution Mini-500, which was first introduced in the 1990s as a single-seat light helicopter kit. The original version weighed only 150 kg and had a maximum speed of 115 mph. The new MSFS version of the Mini-500 offers a host of exciting features that are sure to keep players on their toes.
One of the most impressive features of the Mini-500 is its custom MGL avionics. It comes with seven monitoring pages and the ability to swap between a GTR-220 radio system and a GNS-530 navigation system on the fly. This allows players to have more control over their flight, making the experience more realistic and engaging.
In addition to its impressive avionics, the Mini-500 also features visual effects that bring the helicopter to life. From downwash and combustion to heat, rain, and icing effects, players will experience what it’s really like to fly a helicopter. The native flight model is built using the Helicopter SDK, ensuring that players experience the most realistic and accurate flight simulation possible.
The Mini-500 also comes with a range of custom liveries, so players can show off their personal style while flying. From the stealth livery with its U.S. Navy fuselage and mini-guns, to the hunter livery with its camouflaged fuselage and compound bow, there’s something for everyone. Group flights have never been more fun, as players can now fly with friends and never worry about showing up in the same livery.
