Today a web listing for an Airbus A321 airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator has been erroneously leaked by storied third-party developer FSLabs.
The developer, known for its high-quality add-ons for Lockheed Martin Prepar3d, has then removed the page, but confirmed that the Airbus A321 is indeed coming and posted two screenshots on its official forums, mentioning that more information would come “very soon.”
You can see the first screenshot showing the A321’s exterior above, and the flight deck below.
The store page did not list many features besides the integrated CPDLC, authentic fuel system, wingtip fences and sharklets options, and CFM and IAE engines. It also did not yet display any pricing information, so we’ll have to wait and see what FSLabs comes up with.
The developer announced its plans to release aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator a long time ago but has kept its cards very close to its chest.
Now, they’re debuting an Airbus A321 CEO in a market that is already quite crowded due to the presence of a high-quality specimen by Fenix Simulations, which released the A321 in August and followed up with the sharklets version just last week. It’ll certainly be interesting to see just how much room is left for another rendition.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is currently available for PC and Xbox Series X|S, albeit it’s unlikely that we’ll see FSLabs’ aircraft on Xbox (albeit we should never say never).
