Right now third-party builders showcased new photos of a legendary transport workhorse for Microsoft Flight Simulator, whereas a brand new airport has been launched.
We begin with Militech Simulations, which supplied an replace about its upcoming CH-47 tandem-rotor helicopter.
On prime of the photographs, which you’ll be able to watch beneath, we additionally get an intensive set of particulars together with the affirmation that this transport workhorse will even come to Xbox on prime of PC.
As promised, the CH47D will function a totally detailed inside, exterior and cargo bay. This is a pattern of the ultimate texturing element – all the things has been modeled and textured to the best stage of element and sharpness potential. This stage of high quality and sharpness is constant all through.
Cargo Loading capabilities: The CH47D consists of totally modeled cargo loading capabilities, each within the interior cargo bay, in addition to sling loaded within the exterior. Customers will be capable of load Humvees, Rhibs, Pallets, Troops, UAV Containers, and even a Blackhawk helicopter. Totally animated paratroopers are one other factor we’re at the moment contemplating to implement.
Techniques: Our CH47D is a complete, but sensible rendition of the actual counterpart. All important programs have been modeled to an incredible diploma of depth, although others (reminiscent of UHF, and so forth.) are “for show solely” attributable to MSFS not supporting these programs.
As for NAV programs, an Aera-style moveable GPS is included (will be hidden) for flight planning and “direct to” navigation. In reality, some operators of the CH47D use these sorts of GPS programs.
A {custom} Superior Flight Management System (AFCS) can be featured. Presently it really works as a 2 degree-of-freedom autopilot (altitude and heading), however it might evolve right into a extra complicated system previous to launch.
Sounds: This can be a frequent query – YES, our CH47D will function the enduring “blade slap”. In reality, all sounds have been recorded from an actual CH47.
EFB: A pill EFB can be included, and can be utilized to load the cargo onto the helicopter, map, and entry the missions…
Missions: The Chinook will embrace a mission pack upon launch, with anyplace between 8-12 predefined missions around the globe. These missions will include carrying totally different masses from level A to B. All missions will begin and finish on custom-made sceneries (included with the helicopter). These might embrace earthquake aid areas, navy compounds, UAV bases, transferring ships, and so forth.
Liveries: 15 liveries will likely be included from operators around the globe.
Different variants?: We’re specializing in the -D Variant for now. Although we’re contemplating including extra trendy -F Variant, the passenger variant, MH variant, and so forth. on a future growth pack.
PC/Xbox?: As typical, we’ll launch for PC first – since we will iterate extra simply over the primary few weeks of the product being out and do not should cross the time-consuming Market verification. Xbox will comply with shortly after.

We additionally get a launch, and it is Ramsar Worldwide Airport (OINR) in Iran, serving the favored sea resort city on the coast of the Caspian Sea.
It has been launched by Enjoyable of Flying and it is accessible on Simmarket for $14.59.
You possibly can see what it seems like within the trailer beneath.
It is value mentioning as soon as once more that the favored Navigation suite supplier Navigraph is at the moment internet hosting its annual Flight Simulation survey. It is a good way to get a snapshot of the Flight Simulation market, and f you wish to contribute your opinion and perception, you are able to do so at their official web site.
In the intervening time, right here on TechRaptor, we provide each day Microsoft Flight Simulator information, specializing in offering a chicken’s eye view of this flourishing trade that retains producing tens of add-ons each month.
