Before we move on, you can check out a flight simulation story that received its own individual coverage:
Airbus A220 for MSFS Gets New Screenshots
The Airbus A220 by Synaptic Simulations received a series of new screenshots.
The images, which you can see above, feature both the exterior and the flight deck, and they were showcased on the developer’s Discord server.
Taylorcraft BC-12D for MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020 Gets Pricing, Screenshots, and Details
Got Friends showcased new screenshots and details of the Taylorcraft BC-12D for MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020.
We hear that the aircraft will be released for $24.99 for both PC and Xbox. The PC version will be available on the developer’s own store and Contrail on top of the official marketplace.
A release date has not been shared just yet, but the developers are targeting mid-May.
Below you can read an official list of features.
- Fully simulated hand-crank propeller physics featuring engine cylinder compression, drag resistance, authentic windmill starting, and optional quick-start methods.
- An authentic custom-designed soundpack that brings both the Continental A-65 and A-85 to life. Twoseventyinc has poured hundreds of hours into this soundpack and we think it will rival some of our best aircraft including the Wilga and F4F Wildcat.
- Two fully realized engine options, allowing you to fly with either 65 or 85 horsepower.
- Four unique variants, including Standard, Bush, Skis, and Floats.
- Reactive Motion physics brought to life across a wide range of components, including control surfaces, doors, engine elements, handles, landing gear, cockpit controls, and even fun extras like fuzzy dice.
- Craft Pad with over 65+ options, allowing you to truly make your Taylorcraft your own!
- Extensive realism features, including primer simulation, carb heat simulation, propeller crash simulation, fuel sloshing, camera physics, headphone simulation, and smoke generation.
- An enormous range of gauge and avionics options, including standard flight instruments, supporting gauges, an AOA indicator, GNS 430 by Working Title, GTN 650 by PMS50, GTN 650Xi by TDS, vintage radio, KAP 140 autopilot, ADF, transponder, and a tablet/EFB with Aera navigation and MSFS 2024 EFB support, plus more.
- A variety of extras to personalize your aircraft, including cargo options, a lantern, wing loads, a propeller spinner, and plenty of other fun goodies.
- Variant-specific features include custom float physics, water anchoring, paddle simulation, snow and ice behavior with skis, and ground-adjustable propeller pitch for the bush boys.
Tulum International Airport Teased; Coming This Week
FSDG teased a new airport coming this week, and the image above points quite obviously to Tulum International Airport (MMTL) in Mexico, which is adjacent to Base Aérea Militar N.20, portrayed above.
