This section collects freeware helicopter add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, developed by community creators from around the world. Rotorcraft offer a fundamentally different flying experience from fixed-wing aircraft — demanding hands-on control inputs, enabling low-level exploration of terrain that no airliner can reach, and opening up missions such as air ambulance, search and rescue, sightseeing, and offshore operations. The MSFS community has produced a growing range of free helicopter models covering light utility types, emergency services variants, military rotorcraft, and civilian touring machines, with notable releases including the HPG Airbus H135, the MBB Bo 105, and the Robinson R44. MSFS 2024 expanded native helicopter support significantly, broadening what developers can achieve, and the community has responded with a new generation of rotorcraft add-ons making full use of the updated platform. All add-ons in this category are free to download.

The freeware Bell 505 that flies by Bell's own book. It won't forgive a sloppy turn or induced oscilations :P. It burns the fuel Bell says it burns.

Now It even screams at you "Warning Terrain Terrain"!
