For aircraft already available in MSFS, check our updated list here!
Every day, with our continuous coverage of what is going on in the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator, we hope to be a good source for you in finding and learning about the most interesting aircraft currently being created for MSFS. To be even more helpful, we are compiling a list of every meaningful aircraft in the pipeline for a release in MSFS. A list that you will find below, regularly updated, divided by categories, with aircraft names and the developers behind the project.
We understand that many projects are either obscure or have not yet been properly announced, so we ask for your input about anything that you know about that might be missing from this list. Let us know in the comments below about an aircraft that you know to be in active development, and we will quickly update the roster.
Without further ado, see below what is currently under development and find out if your favorite aircraft will soon come to MSFS. A detailed changelog is available at the bottom of the list.

The FlyingIron Simulations A-7E Corsair II is for DCS, and their P-38 Lightning is also not listed. The F7F Tigercat it likely vaperware given the events on the WIP thread on another site.
Vasco Ferreira
Thanks for the helpful input COLFORK85! We’ll update the list accordingly. Is the P-38 coming to MSFS? Never heard about that one.

Hello, have you considered to maybe add when the entry was added?
I love your list and I’m very thankful for it but everytime I don’t know if an entry is new or I already saw it
Vasco Ferreira
Hi Alex. Thanks for the feedback, that is probably a good idea. There’s also a changelog at the bottom of the list with all the changes 🙂
Alex T
Just a couple of updates.
Someone above has mentioned the Hondajet which is coming soon – that would be a worthy addition to the list.
Also, WelshSimulations have recently taken over the development of the freeware 757-200 (formerly of Parallel Flight Simulations).
Vasco Ferreira
Thanks for the updates Alex. The Hondajet was already on the list. Updated now with the WelshSimulations projects.

Hi Anselm. Thank you for your feedback! In fact, this list is for aircraft which are currently being developed. The airplanes you mentioned have already been released. But you know what, that’s also a good idea, a list of airplanes that are already available. Noted! 🙂

Hi,
there are some things which may need an update 🙂
– Marwan Gharib Honda Jet: it’s not yet decided if it’s going to be freeware or payware, so that should be open. There are constant updates on his discord and he added even oxygen masks dropping under right circumstances 🙂
– Asobo / Microsoft Volocopter and F/A18E Block II are going to be freeware, as well as a PC-6 and the Pitts S1. Also a new Tricycle XCub version will be available for free on Nov. 18
– Asobo / Microsoft – Reno Air Race airplanes: $60 for the whole pack. Includes Texan T6, North American P51A and D, Pitts S1 and L39
Greetings!
Vasco Ferreira
Hi Delta2k5. Thanks for your great feedback! The list has been updated and considers your helpful input. Cheers!
Delta2k5
Hi Vasco,
you’re welcome – thank you for the update 🙂
There is another dev working on some stunning Learjet 35/36 you might wanna include – he calls himself MtnFly Simulations. The Discord is over here: https://discord.gg/fdbtNz5P
I’ll grab one of his screenshots to show what he is on: https://i.imgur.com/S3jXBXr.png
The project is freeware and he provides many information in “About me”:
“[…] I was an avid FSX user and started to create the 3D model of one of my all time favorite aircraft as a kid, the Learjet 35A. That model never made it into FSX and was at some point set aside.
When MSFS was released, I started flying various steam gauge GA aircraft, right up until Working Title started tinkering with the CJ4. I found myself hooked on the twin engine corporate jet and it dawned on me, I have 3/4s of a Learjet just begging to be completed. It seamed that MSFS had a pretty wide range of aircraft, but one thing that was missing in the lineup, was a steam gauge twin engine corporate jet.
I really want my Learjet to be fully functional, right down to the circuit breakers. I plan on releasing the model 35A and bumping up the fuel capacity to also release the 36A. I also wanted it to be freeware as a way to give back to the many developers out there that were creating and releasing freeware aircraft. I just thought it was such a selfless act for these people to work so hard on something and then release it for everyone to enjoy. […] “

Hi, another interesting one – there is a C919 in development by some Chinese guys called FYCYC. Also they got an ARJ21 in dev. You can see their videos and screenshots over here (unfortunately in Chinese, so get the translator ready 😉 )

Hello again,
something is missing on your list it seems from:
https://www.rara-avis-sims.com/projects
Especially the Rara-Avis Beechcraft 2000a might be worth adding. (going to be payware)
Also Rara-Avis released the Whittaker MW6 UL as a freeware – honestly the best UL around 🙂

Hello again Vasco, I think there are some things currently going on which are missing in the list 😉
The Hondajet is going to be released on May 31 by FlightFX as they release it for Marwan – it’s going to cost $24.99 USD
Information has been provided on the FlightFX discord and their website (https://www.flightfx.io/portfolio/hjet) 🙂
Other than that there is now a kinda hidden 747-8f mod available on flightsim.to – hidden as it’s linked to some liveries. Anyway a nice addition for guys who like to fly cargo around (https://de.flightsim.to/file/32992/747-8f-house-livery). For now it’s just a body style but still a great job!
On the business side of freeware there is a Bombardier Challenger 300 in progress by wnpilot101 which looks promising. An initial release was planned last month but some issues prevented this. Anyway there is still progress and the dev searches someone to help when it comes to modeling tips (https://community.flightsim.to/work-in-progress-74srexof/post/bombardier-challenger-300-freeware-2UHbw4XrGJ0meto)
Also I got something to clean up in the list: the Sim4Flight x Digital Flight Dynamics entry for the A350 could be removed as it’s the Digital Flight Dynamics A350. 🙂
Cheers!
Vasco Ferreira
Thank for the very helpful contribution Delta2k5, as usual 🙂
We have been following the HJET closely too. Everything else is surely very interesting and will be added to the list very soon. Cheers!

Pinpoint Simulations closed down cause one of their devs who had sole rights to the model and the MFD display pulled out of the project so their 777-300 is canceled indefinitely.

Thank you CUBICSQUARES, today’s update already reflects that change.
forrestgump
I’m surprised to see the IRIS C-17 here, even though there are rumours that development has stopped. Even more interesting that you have not included the Delta Simulaions C-17, which shows a lot more promise than some of the other freeware aircraft listed here.
https://discord.gg/XG5eEjE7Qw They seem to only have a discord, but the founder seems pretty approachable from the last time I chatted with him
Vasco Ferreira
forrestgump, we continually update this list with new projects that readers like you share with us, so your contribution is very much appreciated! I will investigate a bit further that C-17 from Delta Simulations and it will very likely be added to the list in the next update. We also remove those that have been canceled. With all that is going on in the world of flight sim development it’s sometimes hard to keep up with everything, so we count with the helpful contribution from our readers 🙂
Jonathan Bate
Hi and thanks for your list. It would be more useful to me if you added a column for “available now” and “upcoming”.
Thanks.

Hi Jonathan! Thank you for your comment. In fact, we’re currently working on a separate list just for aircraft that are now available. We figured I would also be useful and it makes sense to be separate from this one. Stay tuned! 🙂

That’s a good idea William, I will add that in a future update. Unfortunately most of the information will be vague (if it exists at all), but at least a rough estimate might be helpful.

Are any developers currently working on a B-17G, B-24, B-25 or B-29? There is just something about starting up those large WW2 bombers and hearing them rumble on the runway, and to get the chance to fly any one of those beautiful planes across the country would be a dream. Just wishful thinking on those perhaps, but I was really excited to read about the awesome Lancaster Bomber being developed, which was no slouch in the Bomber arena , Its just that I like the Boeing bombers because of all the stories that I remember hearing from my grandparents and their friends, that would share their very real experiences in the B-17 and other planes, and what it was like either piloting them or being a gunner on board.

I believe the MRI Simulations PA-18 is a dead project. No activity in their Discord about it and any communication from this “developer” is over a year old about a 787 project they were “working on”, and before that a 767.
Am thinking this was just another in an almost infinite number of “I bought a 3D model and didn’t know all of the other work that went into aircraft development” projects that we’ve seen so much of in the flight sim community.
Vasco Ferreira
Thanks Redbeard, it definitely looks like it’s dead from what you’re saying. Will update the list with that note!

Hi, the last update on Milviz/Blackbird ATR is that they decided to put the project on hold, due to various reasons, here is what they announced on Discord:
“I am aware that we’ve not been very open about what’s happening with the 80-R…. And that means, well, it’s time to spill the beans:
At this time, after having invested significant bucks, we’ve decided that, for the moment, we’re putting the project on hold.
The reasons should be obvious but in case they’re not… I’m listing them below:
1) MS/Hans Hartmann are doing one and no matter what our price is, they can beat it. Hands down and super easy. No matter the quality level of either, We’d never be able to compete in the same space.
2) Spending another year on the project would’ve cost a huge amount of money that we’d never see. (again, see 1).
3) halfway through development, we realized that the 3D model was unacceptable in terms of quality (look/feel) so we junked it and started again. Though we had finished modeling, painting had not yet commenced. It would take another 20-30K and 4-6 months to get it done. All the while, MS is doing theirs.
4) When the MS/Hans version comes out, we will assess and revisit this. For now though, we’ve decided to put a hold on this till theirs is out.
We know you all were all looking forward to this, and we hate to bring you this disappointment, but we have to make decisions that best fit our business.
We continue to look forward to making wonderful products for you in the future.

Hi
How do we reach out to developers to suggest new/other aircraft types that need consideration?
No-one has mentioned the F27 Fokker Friendship for MSFS, although it did exist in P3D. How can a developer be ‘encouraged’ to build this?
