Airvan for Microsoft Flight Simulator Delayed, Gets New Video and Screenshots

SimWorks Studios confirmed that the upcoming GippsAero GA8 Airvan, which was supposed to come this month, will launch in mid-May. The MSFS 2024-native version is being developed in parallel with the MSFS 2020 version, so there is a “good chance” that they’ll be released “very close together.”

The developer also released a brief video, and you can watch it on the developer’s Facebook page.
