Today third-party developer FlightFX announced a brand new aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator, the Embraer ERJ 145.
This marks an evolution of the developer’s lineup, which is debuting its first (regional) airliner after working on several business jets (and business turboprops) like the Honda Jet, the Cirrus Vision Jet, the Bombardier Challenger 350, the Cessna Citation X, and the Piaggio P.180 Avanti.
As a matter of fact, the developer plans on “pushing boundaries and making something never seen before from FlightFX.”
At the moment the aircraft’s 3D model is being assembled (and you can see the results in the gallery below) and a release date has not been announced.
If you’re wondering whether the aircraft will come for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or 2024, the developers mentioned that a final decision will be taken at a later date depending on market conditions, but for the moment, it’s likely that the Embraer ERJ 145 will be for both.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is currently available for both PC and Xbox Series X|S, albeit today’s release is only available for PC for the moment.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is currently available for the same platforms following its recent release in November. if you want to see the visual difference against Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, you can enjoy our video and screenshot comparison.
Incidentally, earlier today Microsoft shared an extensive update about its plans for MSFS 2024, so you may want to read it.
You can also check out our in-depth analysis of how much data the simulator downloads from the cloud, clearing the air from some widespread misinformation that made the rounds over the past few weeks.
