Following the release of its Bell 206B3 in December 2022, Cowan Simulation has offered a first look at its upcoming MD500E for MSFS.

Sharing a selection of screenshots with HeliSimmer.com, Joshua Cowan, the owner of Cowan Simulation, told the outlet that the MD500E was “very close” to being released.

The screenshots show an impressively modelled virtual cockpit, as well as some eye-catching night lighting.
