Posted

microsoft-flight-simulator-2024MicroProse is proud to announce the release of MicroProse B-17 Flying Fortress v1.0 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Built with deep respect for the aircraft’s legacy, this release brings a high-fidelity Flying Fortress experience to MSFS 2024, combining research-driven systems work, detailed visuals, and a rich soundscape captured to match the character of the real aircraft.

Version 1.0 is available now via Just Flight and will also be available via Contrail. The Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace release is planned as soon as Microsoft’s testing and ingestion process is complete.

Version 1.0 Highlights

MicroProse B-17 v1.0 includes a wide range of features designed specifically for MSFS 2024, including:

  • A high-fidelity flight model
  • MSFS 2024 walk-around support
  • Hand-crafted 4K PBR textures and detailed interior/exterior presentation
  • Custom high-fidelity engine and cockpit audio, powered by Wwise
  • Optional modern avionics (including GPS / transponder options for those who want them)

    • The Road Doesn’t End Here

    The release of v1.0 is a major milestone—but it’s not the finish line. MicroProse remains committed to continuous improvement, bug fixing, and expanding the feature set over time. Development is also planned to bring the aircraft to Xbox and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 in the future.
