Microsoft Flight Simulator CRJ & Twin Otter Get Video & Screenshots; CRJ Release Date Reveal on Monday

Today third-party developer Aerosoft revealed new assets of its upcoming aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

We get both images and details from project manager Mathijs Kok (whom we interviewed today. You can check it out here for a lot of insight). [Sources 1, 2, 3, 4]

We get to see the new video of the Bombardier CRJ-dedicated “Come Fly With Me” series dedicated to the walkaround procedure. Mind you, this is also a perfect way to show off the aircraft’s extremely detailed model.

We also see an image showing how you can pop-out all the glass cockpit displays with the usual Right Alt + mouse click.

Perhaps even more exciting is the fact that the release date will be announced on Monday and it’s at least within two weeks.

We also get another look at the de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter showcasing both its external model in flight and work-in-progress materials.

A few days ago, we published our massive interview with head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann, who provided a lot of new info about the present and future of the sim.
