de Havilland DH.85 Leopard Moth Revealed for MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020
Flight Replicasm revealed the de Havilland DH.85 Leopard Moth for both MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020. As a matter of fact, the developer mentions that it should already be eleased on both official marketplaces, but it’s not visible for yours truly at the moment of this writing.
We don’t know whether it’s miscommunication or simply a delay in propagation for the marketplace, but it should come soon if it’s not already there.
You can see what the aircraft looks like below.
