Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Releases Single New Plane DLC That Costs $74.49

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has introduced a new superjumbo Airbus A380 to its virtual aircraft fleet, available for a steep price of $74.49 as part of the exclusive Flight Simulator Marketplace. The single new plane DLC is exclusively available for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 users for the next three months. The A380 features two liveries at launch, with additional liveries planned for future releases.

The virtual aircraft boasts high-detail exterior and interior modeling, full flight deck modeling with extensive interactive controls, and a deeply layered avionics system. It includes two distinct engine variants, a bespoke flight model designed for the aircraft's immense mass and handling characteristics, and a functional cockpit printer.

This highly detailed addition to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has been praised by IGN, which awarded the game a 9 out of 10 rating upon its release, and has since received over a dozen content updates, including VR platform support.
