A brand new aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 is almost here. SimWorks Studios posted the final details of their upcoming GA-8 Airvan via Discord. This post focuses on the release of the Airvan, confirming its release date. SimWorks Studios also presented both editions available for this add-on. They also shared the details for this add-on’s compatibility with MSFS 2024.
Base and SystemPulse Airvan Editions
The developer presented two versions of this add-on that the user can purchase. The base edition of the Airvan will feature both the passenger and cargo configurations. It will also include custom sounds and systems proper to this aircraft. The second edition is the “SystemPulse” edition. It is an expansion of the base edition that adds more in-depth aircraft systems and aircraft deterioration.
The GA-8 Airvan base edition is reported to cost €27.49 on the SimWorks Studios store or $29.99 on the in-game Marketplace. The SystemPulse Edition will cost €14.99 in the online store or $17.49 on the Marketplace. The SystemPulse edition requires a copy of the Airvan base edition.
MSFS 2024 Compatibility
SimWorks Studios also briefly addressed the situation of this add-on with MSFS 2024. During the initial release, the available version for purchase will be for MSFS 2020. The base edition for MSFS 2020 is fully compatible with MSFS 2024. The “SystemPulse” Edition for MSFS 2020 will not be compatible with MSFS 2024. It is confirmed that a native version for MSFS 2024 will arrive after the release of the MSFS 2020 version of the Airvan. The MSFS 2024 version will be a free upgrade for all owners of this add-on.
