Fokker F100 for MSFS Gets New Screenshots
Just Flight released new screenshots of the Fokker F100, which has been in development for a long time.
Interestingly, the developer mentions that “important details” will be shared next week. The wording appears to suggest a release date or at least a window.
ATG Airline Traffic Global Brings Over 1000 Liveries for MSFS 2024’s Default AI Traffic on PC and Xbox
Bravo Airspace released ATG Airline Traffic Global, and it’s available right now on the official MSFS 2024 marketplace for approaximately €20.
This is a rather relevant package as it’s the first that adds over 1,000 liveries to the default AI aircraft, which until now only had a few liveries made by Asobo.
This means that if you use the default traffic, your airports and skies will be a lot more colorful, which is a much-needed addition. This is especially true for Xbox users, who have scant choices for AI traffic.
With the demise of the real-time dynamic traffic in FSLTL, the default traffic might become more palatable for PC users as well. Above you can see screenshots from the PC version of MSFS 2024, while below you can see the Xbox version.
The developers aim to release on PS5 as well, but for now, they have not been contacted by Microsoft to release their products on Sony’s consoles just yet, so the possibility remains up in the air.
The package includes over 160 airlines and is intended to cover all continents. Here’s a list from the official website:
North America Air Canada, Air Transat, Alaska Airlines One World livery, American Airlines, American Eagle, Cape Air, Delta, FedEx, Flair, Frontier, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue, Morningstar, Piedmont, Polar Air Cargo, Porter, PSA Airlines, Southwest, Sun Country, United Airlines Continental livery, WestJet, Winair, Atlas, Kalitta and other cargo aircraft.
