Third-party developers have delivered news about upcoming Microsoft flight simulator add-ons on top of a plane launch.
Flight Sim Studio has released the much-discussed early access of its Embraer E175, which is now available on airsoft shop for €40.96 applicable VAT included. The aircraft will also be launched on the official market, but it will be a while before that happens.
The developer plans to also deliver the E170 within the same package at no additional cost, but the E190 and E195 will be sold as a separate package when ready.
It’s worth mentioning again that this is early access, with a fairly lengthy development roadmap from the developer. Official site. Before you buy, you should be aware that this is not a final product and it will take a while before it reaches the promised advanced level of simulation.
