Stratoware, in partnership with Miltech Simulations, has officially released the long-awaited MBB Bo 105 helicopter for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Following months of previews and development updates, the iconic German rotorcraft is now available exclusively for MSFS 2024.
The MBB Bo 105 is one of the most recognisable light utility helicopters ever built, renowned for its rigid rotor system, agility, and versatility across civilian and military operations. Developed over a two-year period, Stratoware says the aircraft has been created with a strong focus on realism, detailed systems simulation, and authentic flight handling.
The package includes 13 unique operational variants, covering everything from EMS and police operations to military and aerobatic roles. Variants include mountain rescue configurations with hoists, broadcast helicopters featuring a functional FLIR camera, sling load support compatible with Mission Hub, float-equipped versions, and even an aerobatic configuration complete with a smoke system.
Audio for the helicopter has been developed by Echo 19 using recordings captured from a real-world Bo 105 helicopter, registered as N8809W. The developers also highlight highly detailed flight dynamics created with input from a real-world Bo 105 pilot.
Alongside the aircraft itself, the package ships with over 50 liveries spanning operators from around the world. In addition, buyers will receive the included Teufelsgraben scenery package in Germany, which acts as a dedicated home base for the helicopter.
You can buy it from MilTech Simulations’ website for $32.99 USD.
