Hype Performance Group presented the work carried out on the expansion of the Action Pack for its Airbus H145 helicopter.

The HPG team has been hard at work completing the necessary elements to bring the H145 base pack to the 1.0 state and release the first public version of the HEMS H145 variant of our Action Pack expansion.

Most of the major modeling, texturing, and polishing details have been completed for the airframes, and our art team has focused on producing the props, humans, and scenery that will help make our missions as immersive as possible. for H145 pilots.

On the systems side, Dave has successfully implemented a platform for user-generated missions, and more recently has focused on HEMS-related tasks such as lifting and building behind-the-scenes mission logic. There’s also a lot of attention paid to the overall user experience and there’s a major new feature related to settings that we hope to show off to the community in a future update.

Our ETA for the HEMS variant launch is still before the end of this month and you can expect some preview coverage ahead of launch so you know what to expect from this amazing new project.

We close this update with some photos.

Remember that these are photos in development, for example: there will be variations for humans when they are released, but for now, enjoy the Bruce Willis twins.
