KwikFlight’s rotary wing lineup is growing following the release of the Hunter in May of 2025.
In a post on the iniBuilds forum, the developer shared new previews of Striker, its rendition of a modern tandem-seat attack helicopter designed for precision strikes and close air support, coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
The helicopter is built from the ground up for engaging rotary-wing operations to deliver a blend of accessibility and realism, making it suited to both newcomers and experienced pilots alike.
Striker represents a newer generation of attack helicopters designed around agility, survivability, and technological capability to excel in complex combat environments.
Kwikflight aims for the flight model to be accessible yet highly engaging, featuring authentic performance characteristics and native Vortex Ring State simulation while maintaining predictable handling behavior. A native stability augmentation system allows for automatic flight control and true hands-off hovering capability to reduce pilot workload.
Both front and rear cockpits are modeled, allowing pilots to fly from either seat with shared common controls. Core systems such as the generator, APU, and GCU are fully modeled alongside external power support and manual control of non-essential electrical buses.
KwikFlight Striker Mission Management and Weapons Details
Striker includes a mission management system that allows pilots to spawn dynamic land and sea scenarios supported by forward arming and refueling points where the aircraft can be repaired, rearmed, and returned to the fight. It also features a comprehensive weapons system offering a variety of guns, rockets, and missiles, with automatic targeting and tracking assistance.
In addition to the trailer (linked at the top of this article), the developer will release a Feature Showcase video that will offer pilots a brief overview of the core systems and avionics, as well as pointers for maximizing the mission capabilities of the Striker.
No release date for the KwikFlight Striker was provided as of the publishing of this article. For more details, click here to view the post on the iniBuilds forum.
