This is a repaint for the Hype Performance Group Airbus H145 Lux Variant. It is based on the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Flight Experiments facility Helicopter D-HDDP, which is originally an BO105.
"The five-seater BO105 of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Flight Experiments facility is an extremely reliable helicopter. BO105 has been operated very successfully for various applications worldwide. The Airbus helicopter BO105 is considered to be one of the best of its kind in the world, based on measurements made in wind tunnels and flight tests.
The multipurpose BO105 helicopter of the DLR Flight Experiments facility has special Low Speed Sensing and Indicating Equipment (LASSIE), an IFR cockpit and, in future, will be fitted with instruments on the main and tail rotor blades, a rotor head equipped with instruments, and a detachable nose boom. The BO105 was the first helicopter to have rotor blades made of glass fibre-reinforced plastic. It is powered by two Rolls-Royce/Allison 250-C20B engines. It was the first helicopter in Germany to be fitted with a rigid rotor head and two turbines as standard.
Having been modified over time, the BO105 has proven its strengths through the abundance and accuracy of the data that it has provided, which make it extremely attractive for a variety of research purposes. It has a multifunctional support platform that can be used to install sensors weighing up to 130 kilograms. The interface is currently being used for two projects. It also offers the option of attaching and testing external loads quickly and easily.
The data generated by this type of helicopter serve as valuable points of comparison for the ongoing improvement and expansion of DLR’s computer simulation programmes. Flight test laboratories give German students a unique opportunity to experience the special features of the helicopter in flight for themselves."

Update V1.1:
A couple of weeks ago, the Engineers from German Aerospace Center (DLR) contacted me (they are based in Braunschweig, EDVE and own and fly the BO-105 "D-HDDP" as well as the EC 135 "D-HFHS") and asked me to make a slight modification of the Livery as concept art and to make some nice scenic Screenshots, which they can use for advertisement purposes. I was quite surprised, that the real-live-guys have an eye on the Flightsim Community. So it was an honor for me to make a new concept livery and provide them the Images.
So included in Update V1.1 is the originally painted H145 Lux, based on the BO-105 (D-HDDP) as well as a new concept Livery with the fictional registry D-HDLR is included.
As a tribute to the pilots and engineers who test new systems with the DLR helicopters every day to make flight operations safer, I have also created two pilot/flight test engineer avatars (including the original patches provided to me by DLR) that you can download from the following link:

Have fun flying with the Livery and the two buddies. And if you want to spend me a coffee, don't hesitate to hit the Donate Button, so with more coffee I can stay up longer and working of new stunning content to MSFS to share with you. Thanks for the great community we have.
Salute Five-Birds
Is there a way to do the D-HDLR livery in the offshore variant? It allows for more uses.

I always loved this livery for the Bo-105. Thanks for bringing it to the H145.
