Microsoft Flight Simulator Pilatus Porter Gets New Videos, New York Scenery Gets New Screenshots; Fenix Reveals Use of ProSim for A320

Third-party developers never stop in their quest to add new content to Microsoft Flight Simulator, and weekends are no exception.

FlightSimGames released new videos of its Pilatus Porter PC-6 showcasing the depth of its systems that goes as far as having working circuit breakers.

You can see them below.

Next comes SamScene3D, which released two new screenshots of its previously-teased New York City scenery, showing a really detailed model of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Last, but not least, Fenix Simulations confirmed on its Discord server that its Airbus A320 uses ProSim as the base of the aircraft’s systems.

“We’ve seen the article posted here and elsewhere, whilst a lot of the assumptions made have started to tail into baseless speculation, we do indeed have a license with ProSim to utilise and modify elements of their simulation software, and are building upon that to bring something much more desktop-oriented and more in line with what PC simmers are used to. By default we respect the privacy of our legal agreements and avoid discussing the various licensing agreements we have unless it functionally affects the future viability of the product (e.g. navdata etc).”

Recently, we published our brand new and massive interview with head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann, focusing on the Xbox version and short and long-term plans for the sim (on both platforms).

He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
