Before we move on to the flight simulation news, make sure to check out today’s episode of our “Can You Guess this Airport?” video series and share your guess.
Without further ado, I leave you with today’s flight simulation news.
Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante v2 Coming Soon for MSFS 2024
NextGen Simulations announced that the Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante v2 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will be released in mid-June 2024 on the official marketplace.
It’ll cost $34.99/€34.99 for new users and $13.99/€13.99 excluding VAT for those who already purchased the aircraft for MSFS 2020. It’ll be initially available for PC and Xbox, as the developer doesn’t yet have the possibility to release for PS5. Third-party stores will also receive the aircraft in the next couple of months.
You’ll also be able to rent it for MSFS 2024 only on the marketplace for $4.99 for 7 days.
The developer also mentioned that work on the Saab 340 and Saab 2000 will be prioritized going forward. It remains to be decided whether they’ll release only for MSFS 2024 or for MSFS 2020 as well. If they do come for the older simulator, they’ll be the last by this developer, otherwise, the Bandeirante will be the last.
At least one should come for Q4 2026, or possibly both.
