FA50 Dev Update #4
As development has progressed into full flight-phase testing, supported by real-world pilots, mechanics, and experienced beta testers, it has become clear that additional time is needed to properly refine, document, and validate the aircraft.
FA50 Dev Update #3
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.
FA50 Dev Update #2
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.
Announcing the FA50
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.
