Just Flight had announced the Fokker F28 Fellowship for Microsoft Flight Simulator back in June 2021. Since the announcement, Just Flight has been continuously providing development updates on a regular basis. The latest update is a detailed video previewing the sounds that will bring the various aircraft systems to life such as the engine start, APU, flaps, speedbrakes, hydraulic systems and much more.
The 14-minute video shows off all the sounds from the cockpit to the cabin including some external sounds as well. The video also clearly shows off the pure visual quality and texturing which has been applied to the Fokker F28 Fellowship. Visible wear and tear, animations on switch covers and doors along with their respective sounds. The video shows off the highly detailed passenger cabin along with the unique cabin functionality which can be accessed in the forward galley. Clearly, a lot of time and effort has been put into making the sounds as authentic as possible and thus provides the pilot with a truly immersive experience.
The Fokker F28 Fellowship was designed and built by the Dutch manufacturer Fokker and first flew in 1967. The Fokker F28 Fellowship was one of the first jet-powered regional airliners and as a result it had played a significant role in the development of future regional airliners. It had a seating capacity of 65 to 85 passengers and was predominantly known for its economic operations and suitability for shorter runways.
The Fokker F28 Fellowship is slated to release later this month according to Just Flight’s comment on their facebook page however this is not definitive and could be pushed back.
