Find H125 liveries for MSFS 2020 and 2024, check aircraft compatibility, install them correctly, and fix repaints that do not appear.
You can download free H125 liveries for Microsoft Flight Simulator from our MSFS aircraft and livery library and the repaint collections in our freeware catalogue. Before downloading, match the file to the exact H125 base aircraft, developer and simulator version; a livery made for one H125 model will not automatically fit another.
Where should I search for H125 repaints?
Search using H125, AS350, AS350 B3e, AStar and Écureuil. The same helicopter family appears under several names, while some uploads are titled primarily by their real-world operator or registration.
Our guide to finding free MSFS repaints explains how to inspect a listing before downloading. Availability changes as creators add or update packages, so searching only for “H125” can miss suitable files catalogued as AS350 repaints.
Which H125 livery file do I need?
Choose the repaint by its required base aircraft, not simply by the paint scheme shown in its screenshots.
| Simulator and aircraft | What the livery must support |
|---|---|
| MSFS 2020 H125 or AS350 add-on | The exact separately installed aircraft package and, where specified, the same model variant |
| Built-in MSFS 2024 H125 | The H125 supplied with MSFS 2024; the description should explicitly identify the default or built-in aircraft |
| Third-party H125 in MSFS 2024 | That particular add-on rather than the built-in 2024 H125 |
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 has no default H125, so a 2020 repaint requires its named H125 or AS350 add-on. The download normally contains textures and configuration data only; it is not the complete helicopter.
A repaint for a 2020 add-on will not skin the built-in MSFS 2024 H125 because the models use different texture mapping and aircraft definitions. Some packages can cross between simulator generations when the same underlying aircraft is supported, but check our MSFS 2020-to-2024 livery compatibility checks before assuming that they will work.
How do I install an H125 livery on PC?
Install an H125 repaint as a Community package after confirming that its required base helicopter is present.
- Read the requirements: identify the simulator, aircraft developer, H125 or AS350 variant, and any required base package.
- Download and extract the archive: do not leave the livery inside its ZIP or RAR file.
- Check the package level: the folder placed in Community should contain package files such as
manifest.jsonandlayout.json, rather than another identically named folder containing them. - Use the active Community folder: its location varies with the PC edition and installation choice. Follow our PC livery installation steps if you are unsure which folder MSFS is reading.
- Restart the simulator: select the exact H125 aircraft variant, then choose the repaint through its livery option in the aircraft selector.
Can I install downloaded H125 liveries on Xbox or PS5?
PC freeware ZIP files cannot be installed manually on Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5 because those consoles do not expose a Community folder. Console users can use only liveries distributed through the simulator’s console content system. MSFS 2020 was never released for PlayStation, so H125 liveries on PS5 apply only to MSFS 2024.
Why does my downloaded H125 livery not appear?
A missing H125 repaint usually means MSFS cannot match the package to the installed aircraft or cannot see the package folder.
- Wrong base model: a built-in MSFS 2024 H125 repaint cannot be used with an unrelated H125 or AS350 add-on.
- Archive still compressed: MSFS does not load the livery directly from the downloaded archive.
- Extra nested folder: move the actual package folder into Community, not the outer folder created during extraction.
- Wrong Community location: multiple MSFS installations can leave old Community folders that the active installation no longer reads.
- Missing aircraft dependency: installing the repaint does not install the separately required helicopter in MSFS 2020.
- Package conflict: remove duplicate or older copies of the same livery, then restart the simulator.
If the livery appears in the menu but displays pink, blank or badly misaligned textures, the installation has probably loaded but the repaint targets a different model or texture layout. Replace it with a release explicitly made for your H125 package rather than renaming texture files or copying only part of the download.
