The first 3rd party add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator is here
Microsoft Flight Simulator has had quite the long history, part of that is dedicated to fans and smaller companies that have created new content for the games, some for free, others for a fee and Aerosoft GmbH out of Germany is one such company.
Aerosoft GmbH has spent decades creating simulation software for the airline industry and now players can add two new planes to their Microsoft Flight Sim experience, the CRJ 550 and CRJ 700, check them out in action below.
The new Canadair regional jets released today have a capacity of 50-100 passengers and feature a three cabin layout. These planes are used by many airlines around the world and are known for their efficiency, low operating cost and safety. In flight simulators, these jets are also very popular with hobbyist airplane pilots as these planes are often used on routes that are less than three hours in duration and are perfect for a flight session.
This unique add-on was created in close and fruitful collaboration with Microsoft and Asobo Studio, and we’ve ensured that all available features of Microsoft Flight Simulator have been implemented. The CRJ is simulated in its complete complexity right up to the smallest of details – even the cockpits include nearly all systems, operating just like the real aircraft, including the complex Flight Management System (FMS), the electronic Flight Bag and the Head-up Guidance System (HGS) in a never-before-seen visual and technical quality that will thrill ambitious pilots.
If you are a player, you can also create content for the game, as every player can access the SDK for it, meaning your local regional airport, could very well be the next starring location.
