FlightFX has released the P180, a high-performance executive turboprop aircraft on February 6th for PC and Xbox for Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS). With this aircraft, they aim to deliver a blend of speed, efficiency, and comfort. The P180 brings a unique combination of advanced aerodynamics and luxurious interiors to Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Key Features

The P180 features a unique design with forward canards and rear-mounted pusher propellers, which allow for cruise speeds of up to Mach 0.7. With a maximum reachable flight level of 410 (41.000 feet) and a range of over 1,400 nautical miles, it is well-suited for short- to mid-range operations. Despite its compact exterior, the P180 offers a spacious pressurized cabin. The interior includes executive-style seating with optional enhancements such as decorative pillows, meals, and work accessories. The rear-mounted engines reduce cabin noise, and FlightFX’s custom noise-canceling system is set to further enhance the in-flight experience. The cargo area can also be customized with optional items like suitcases, ski equipment, and golf bags, adding more realism for different types of flights.
