A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Aircraft and simulator background
The UH-12 developed from Hiller's Model 360. Nemeth's aircraft background records its first flight in 1948 and its subsequent military and civilian utility roles. The piston-powered family also served as the H-23 Raven, with the B model used prominently in training.

Nemeth represents the UH-12B for MSFS 2020 and 2024. Its published product description establishes the represented light-helicopter configuration without a detailed account of RotorMatic control forces.

History & design
From the Model 360 to the Raven
The developer's background traces the UH-12 to Hiller's Model 360 and dates its first flight to 1948. The H-23 Raven served utility, observation and medical-evacuation roles during the Korean War. Later variants continued in training and scout work, with the H-23B identified as a training helicopter.

Rotor-Matic and early utility work
Hiller’s early experiments progressed from counter-rotating rotors to a single-main-rotor design, using the J-5 testbed to address stability and control. The Hiller Aviation Museum dates UH-12 certification to 1948 and records more than 2,000 built. Its Rotor-Matic system placed small control paddles at right angles to the main blades; cyclic inputs changed those paddles to help control the rotor.
The type’s utility work included Valerie André’s aeromedical evacuation operations in French Indochina and Raven service in Korea. The museum’s published performance table is specifically for the OH-23D, so its 250 hp engine and weights are not used here as UH-12B specifications.
