The latest FA50 development update highlights new cockpit textures, a fully modeled cabin door, and a deeper look into the aircraft’s hydraulic system. Real-world FA50 pilots have helped refine its authentic control behavior - including how the elevator and ailerons react when hydraulic pressure is lost, just like on the real jet.

New Release by FlightSim StudioThe Super 27 Expansion Pack upgrades the Boeing 727 with modernized engines, avionics, and cockpit features. Based on FlightSim Studio's existing 727-200 series version, this add-on brings more power, new sounds and advanced aircraft systems to Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The FA50 is progressing steadily - flight model and sounds are now with real pilots for testing, avionics are nearly complete, and new features like walkaround mode and an integrated EFB are in place. A refreshed interior and details like working window blinds are also on the way.

The FA50 is Contrail’s first in-house aircraft, a high-performance trijet unveiled live at #FSExpoFriday 2025. Designed for both civilian and military roles, it will launch for MSFS 2020 and 2024 later this year.
