Today, third-party developers released two major airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator and revealed news about more plugins.
We started with DC Designs, which revealed New images of the F-4 Phantom showing the external model and cockpit. On top of that, the developer announced that the previously announced A-10 Thunderbolt II will be free for both PC and Xbox. We don’t know exactly how or why yet, but the news will be shared around May.
“There have also been some questions about the A-10 that another developer recently released for MSFS, and whether ours would go ahead. All I can say is, if you’re willing to wait, our A-10 for PC and Xbox with the right optimization for performance, proper custom sounds, custom systems and displays, it won’t cost you anything. Zero. Nothing. I can’t say anything more than that right now, but things will clear up around May. So, If you love the A-10, but also want to save money, sit back and wait, it’ll be worth it.”
