The first of the slots from the Famous Flyers series is already in Microsoft Flight Simulator and is an aircraft characterized by the luxury and elegance that it knew how to display in its time, with an unusual and beautiful design for a biplane. The Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing first took to the skies in 1932 and charmed customers not only with its looks, despite being known as the “Cadillac of the skies”, but also with its brutal performance.
The plane’s cruising speed was 341 km/h, or about 184 knots, making it significantly faster than any of its competitors in the same decade.
Microsoft Flight Simulator adds a big plane to its hangar
The plane is the first to debut in the Famous Flyers series and comes to the simulator thanks to Asobo’s union with Carenado, one of the most famous independent aircraft design studios for Microsoft Flight Simulator for several years. decades, time of experience which is noticeable in the incredible design they have achieved in this plane as you can see in the images of the trailer.
As for the price, the biplane is available in the title store for $15, which I think is well worth it considering the quality of the add-on. Happy flights and also remember that Microsoft Flight Simulator is already part of Xcloud too!
