Third-party developers shared news about Microsoft Flight Simulator plugins, including airplanes and scenery.
We start with new Aerosoft Airbus A330 screenshots shared by beta tester P Astartus, showing the tail section in a variety of liveries. The plane doesn’t have a release date yet, but it shouldn’t be too far away.
Next, we got the announcement of the Bell 222B helicopter by Cowan simulation. It will arrive soon and we will be able to see some screenshots.
Another announcement comes from horizon simulations, which has decided to work in emblematic settings above its airports. The first package will be Cincinnati, which is also coming soon.
Speaking of “soon”, we learn from Parallel 42 that its Campout add-on will hit the official market, including the Xbox version of the sim, this week, which usually means Thursday.
