Today third-party developers had some juicy news and releases to share with Microsoft Flight Simulator fans, including aircraft and scenery aplenty.
We start with SC Designs, the sister company of DC Design (literally, since the two developers are brothers) which is known for the excellent F-16 Fighting Falcon. Now, the developer teased a rather relevant historical fighter, the F-5E Tiger II.
For now, we get only one screenshot of the unmistakable cockpit with more news promised “within a week or two.”
More aircraft news comes in the form of two releases, starting with Iris Simulations’ Beechcraft T-6 Texan II. It’s available on the developer’s own store for $34.99.
It comes with the following features.
- Stunningly Realistic Visuals: Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Texan II with breathtaking graphics and attention to detail that will leave you in awe.
- Precise Flight Dynamics: The IRIS Texan II has been meticulously designed to mimic the real-world aircraft’s flight characteristics for an incredibly lifelike experience.
- A Wealth of Options: Customize your Texan II with a variety of liveries and features, making every flight unique to your preferences.
- User-Friendly Interface: A streamlined user interface ensures that you can get in the cockpit and take off without a hitch, even if you’re new to flight simulation.
