Fokker F28 v2 Update for MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020 Coming Soon
Just Flight announced that the v2 update for its popular vintage regional jet Fokker F28 Fellowship is coming in the “next two weeks.”
The update has been in development for almost a year and it’ll bring MSFS 2024 compatibility to the aircraft. It’ll also include “a custom UNS-1 FMS, boarding and refueling logic with full GSX integration, interactive checklists, our latest EFB tablet, five new liveries, and an upgraded autopilot.”
Not only will the update be free for existing users, but Just Flight plans to discount the aircraft to tempt potential new owners to purchase this excellent aircraft.
Boeing 757 for Microsoft Flight Simulator Gets New Screenshots
BlueBird Simulations released new screenshots of the Boeing 757, showing another look at the special Icelandair 80th birthday livery that we saw a few days ago.
Boeing 737 Classic For Microsoft Flight Simulator Entering Final Testing Phase
CSS announced that the classic Boeing 737-500 has entered its final testing phase alongside the developer’s launcher, payment system, and technical support. The developer is also working with Navigraph for integration. A release date should be announced “soon.”
CSS also reiterated its rather peculiar payment structure that will see the aircraft made available for a $5 monthly subscription fee or $50 for a year. Alternatively, users will be able to opt for a $120 one-time payment.
The upside, according to the developer, is that it won’t just include the -500, but also the -300, -400, and respective cargo versions when they are released afterward. Their development is already underway.
The aircraft will be initially released for MSFS 2020 and then converted for MSFS 2024.
Mexico City Landmarks Released for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Flymex Software released a landmarks package for Mexico City.
The add-on, which includes “hundreds” of handmade buildings, is available on Simmarket for $14.67.
