Hype Performance Group showcased the work done on the Action Pack Expansion for its Airbus H145 helicopter. You can follow development at the studio’s Discord server. Most major modeling, texturing and polishing details have been completed for the aircraft frames and our art team has been focused on producing the props, humans and scenery objects that will help to make our missions as immersive as possible for H145 pilots. In regards to systems, Dave has successfully implemented a platform for missions to be generated for users and most recently has been focused on HEMS related tasks such as hoisting and building out the logic behind missions scenarios. Much attention is also being given to the overall user experience and there is a major new feature related to configurations that we can’t wait to show off to the community in a future update. Our ETA for the release of the HEMS variant is still before the end of this month and you can expect some preview coverage prior to the release so you know what to expect from this amazing new project.
