Those who plan to jump onto Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 when it launches in a few days need not worry as the aircraft will be made available on the new simulator at no additional cost.

According to the announcement and the information available on the developer’s Discord server, the release should come in the “near future.”

One element that certainly sets this project apart from the rest is the business mode, which will be mainly subscription-based. Users will be able to get access to the aircraft by paying $5 a month or $50 per year. A perpetual license with no need for a subscription will also be available for $120.

The package will start with the passenger 737-500, but will then be expanded gradually to the whole classic family, including -300, -400, and freighter versions.

Below you can read the promised features.

  • Model with all systems integrated, including weather* and terrain radars, onboard systems, and various useful features like functioning windshield wipers and more.
  • Excellent flight dynamic model, tested by real pilots.
  • Authentic sounds with surround sound support.
  • Almost all possible equipment modifications ever installed on the Boeing 737-500*.
  • Custom EFB, allowing flexible configuration of panels, fuel and load data, and a slider, allowing you to “age” or “rejuvenate” your aircraft.
  • The failure of a system depends on the age and condition of your aircraft. In fact, almost everything can fail, including minor issues like burnt-out bulbs in the “Korry” buttons.
  • Integration with the Simbrief, GSX, and Navigraph services.
  • Basic livery pack with real flying planes and historical liveries.
  • Some secret features that we will keep secret until their release.

The asterisks mean that some features will be available post-release according to a roadmap that has yet to be shared.

Below you can see a few screenshots of the flight deck and fuselage’s models. The featured image at the top of the post is not a screenshots from a simulator, but a capture of a real specimen operated by Nam Air and courtesy of YouTube user Ardi Raja Videos.
