Microsoft Flight Simulator Twin Otter Gets New Screenshots; CRJ 900/1000 Hopefully Coming in June twinfinite.net - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from twinfinite.net Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Flight Simulator is getting its first complex passenger jet, the CRJ
You’ll soon be able to take the friendly, simulated skies in the Bombardier CRJ. German developer Aerosoft is gearing up to release its CRJ add-on package for Microsoft Flight Simulator, and it’ll be the simulation game’s first complex airliner, featuring a set of features that will appeal to the more hardcore sim fanbase.
You can get a sense of how detailed the CRJ package is by watching a series of YouTube videos that Aerosoft has commissioned called Come Fly With Me. In the videos, a seasoned CRJ pilot (who goes by TheDude) explains the aircraft as its shown in Flight Simulator, and every last fiddly detail is present and correct. It’s in-depth enough that TheDude can do a full walk-around pre-flight check on the aircraft, pointing out each inspection point and what the air crew would be looking for before a real-life flight.
Today Aerosoft provided another look at its much-anticipated Bombardier CRJ add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator, alongside information on the upcoming release.
First of all, we get to take a look at more screenshots of the CRJ-700 version in a brand new Alaska (operated by Skywest) livery.
On top of that, project manager Mathijs Kok mentioned that the add-on is “close to going to release candidate.” It certainly appears to be close.
“Quick note….. No need to F5 right now. It will be very clear when we are days from release. Right now things are going great.
I just completed the complete release document for our departments. That document helps to get every thing aligned. From the people who need to add the product to the shop pages, via the people who make the installers, the people who add it to the Microsoft shop, the marketing department, the server people (as they will need to get enough bandwidth) ending up with the support crew.
