Today third-party developers announced an upcoming add-on and released more videos of a couple of highly-anticipated ones for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
First of all, Orbx revealed the Pacific Aerospace 750 XSTOL.
XSTOL stands for Extremely Short Take-Off and Landing, and this aircraft is capable to take off and land in less than 800 ft (244m) “even in hot and high conditions and on semi-prepared airstrips in all types of terrain.”
The package comes in four variants, passenger, cargo, skydive, and agriculture.
It’ll have accurate fuel and electronics systems derived from real-world documentation, and “most” circuit breakers are actually simulated.
The aircraft will release “in the coming days” on Orbx Direct for $24.95 plus applicable VAT. It’ll also come to the official marketplace at a later date both for PC and Xbox.
After release, Orbx plans to update the aircraft by adding “a custom PT-6 sound pack, failures, more highly-detailed liveries, landing challenges, bush trips and more.”
Next, Aerosoft released a video showcasing the EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) tablet of the upcoming Airbus A330, including a spiffy map-based pushback feature.
Last, but not least, Hype Performance Group released the official trailer of the Hot Air Balloon that will launch on Friday.
