Today third-party Microsoft Flight Simulator developers released several interesting add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, including aircraft and airports.
We start with Carenado’s Pilatus PC-12, which finally hit the official marketplace for both PC and Xbox.
As usual for Carenado, you won’t find it anywhere else. It’s priced at $24.99.
If you’re interested in flying the Cessna 172 with a higher degree of realism, Just Flight and WB-Sims released the 172SP Classic Enhancement on the former’s store.
You can purchase it for €18.95. It’s worth mentioning that you need the Deluxe or Premium Deluxe version of the sim for this to work.
