Just Flight has officially released an update for its award-winning Avro Vulcan B Mk. 2, K.2, and MRR, bringing full compatibility with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. This release, which comes shortly after the initial tease, also includes several enhancements and fixes to improve the overall experience of flying this virtual rendition of the legendary Cold War bomber.
The new version, 1.2, also introduces an updated EFB, which includes support for Navigraph en-route charts and a redesigned user interface. Additional improvements include refined lighting effects, cockpit shadow updates, and enhanced animations for various aircraft systems.
The update also addresses minor bugs, such as EFB trim sensitivity issues and improved handling of state selections to avoid inadvertent changes.
New features and improvements
Here’s a summary of the most notable changes in v1.2, which you check in full here:
- MSFS 2024 compatibility
- EFB v3 updates, including Navigraph chart support and a new UI
- Enhanced exterior lighting, including fade effects for a more realistic simulation of incandescent bulbs
- Improvements to engine smoke effects, including rapid start smoke
- Updates to cockpit visuals, such as improved radio altitude needle animations and standby horizon logic
- New cosmetic additions, like Bill Ramsey’s helmet design for specific liveries
The Operations Manual and EFB Manual have also been updated to reflect these changes, ensuring that users have access to the latest information on operating the Vulcan.
Availability
Existing owners of the Vulcan for MSFS 2020 can download the updated software directly from their Just Flight account. This update is free of charge. However, the MSFS 2024-compatible version is not yet available on the Microsoft Marketplace. While the Marketplace for MSFS 2024 remains closed for now, the MSFS team has hinted at its imminent arrival alongside Sim Update 1, which has just been released in public beta.
This update marks another milestone in Just Flight’s ongoing efforts to transition its fleet of MSFS 2020 aircraft to MSFS 2024. The Avro Vulcan remains a standout in the sim, with its distinctive delta-wing design, realistic systems modeling, and the unforgettable howl of its Olympus engines—all now enhanced for the latest iteration of Microsoft Flight Simulator.
