Horizon Simulations took to their Discord server yesterday to announce the release date of their highly anticipated rendition of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The rendition has been in the works for quite a while and a dev update on its progress was shared a little over a month ago.
Horizon Sim lifted NDA for content creators
On October 20th, Friday, Horizon lifted the NDA completely on beta testers and content creators. Several notable YouTubers and streamers then took to their respective platforms to give us a sneak peek into the aircraft and its noteworthy features and intricate detailing.
