⏱️Quick Start Guide

Getting Started

The MH60 is a modern, twin-engine, multi-role helicopter equipped with advanced avionics, a sophisticated autopilot, and a Stability Augmentation System (SAS). These systems work together to ease pilot workload and provide a highly stable flight experience. Unlike traditional helicopters, the SAS automatically manages torque compensation — meaning no pedal input is required during normal flight.

The Miltech Simulations MH60 package includes the three primary variants of the helicopter:

MH60S (Sierra) serves as a versatile Navy utility platform, ideal for cargo transport, SAR, and Vertical Replenishment.
MH60R (Romeo) is a frontline anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare helicopter. It additionally performs Search and Rescue and VERTREP Operations.
MH60T (Tango) represents the U.S. Coast Guard’s airframe, specialized for long-range search and rescue, medevac, and maritime patrol missions.

Configuring your Controls and Keybinds

Rotor Brake: Keybind must be correctly configured, as otherwise it may interrupt the execution of other functions, or result in an incorrect activation.

ROTOR BRAKE

Configure keybind for press+hold (Input repetition must be enabled). Do not use "Toggle Rotor Brake".

Out of the box, MSFS will map your default throttle, elevator, and aileron axes to collective, cyclic longitudinal, and cyclic lateral control respectively. This is generally sufficient to get you flying. However, it is important that if you are used to flying other helicopters, the MH60 does not make use of "Helicopter Throttle Axis" and therefore you must keep it deactivated on your hardware.

In addition, several mission and utility systems on the MH-60 require manual keybind configuration. These include:

FLIR Turret Control (Pan/Tilt – recommended to use a joystick hat or camera pan axis)
Searchlight Control (Pan/Tilt)
Weapons Control

We strongly recommend reviewing the Recommended Hardware Configuration and Keybinds Guide

Included Sceneries

As usual in recent Miltech Simulations releases, the MH60 includes four detailed mission-oriented mini-sceneries.

KLDR (San Diego Coast Guard Air Station, USA) supports SAR and maritime patrol missions. LEPM (Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, Spain) offers a confined outpost ideal for ASW training and Strait of Gibraltar patrols. KCGK (Kodiak Coast Guard Air Station, USA) provides a rugged environment for long-range SAR and patrol missions. YGAD (Garden Island Naval Base, Australia) is a Royal Australian Navy facility optimized for MH60R operations, including training and fleet support.
