Today a relevant new add-on aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator has been released, while launch details for another have been revealed.

We start with Aerosoft’s de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, which we learn will be released on January 19.

The pricing will be €29.95 plus applicable VAT, and below you can find the list of avionics (compatible with mods)
