We are thrilled to announce the development of the Just Flight A300B4 Professional for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The first wide-body twin-jet aircraft and pioneer of extended twin operating procedures (ETOPS), the A300 first flew in 1972, with the B4 variant following in 1975 and featuring an increased fuel capacity and improved high lift systems.

The study-level A300B4 Professional will include highly detailed exterior models with a choice of CF6 or JT9D engines, Cargo and Passenger configurations and realistic animations including dynamic wing flex, spoilers, flaps/slats and passenger and cargo doors.

It will also feature complex custom-coded systems based on real-world aircraft manuals, including hydraulic, electrical, fuel and pressurisation systes. Navigation systems will include custom INS and FMC, options for the Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) panel and the A300’s N1 limit computer and autothrottle.

In the cockpit you'll find the Captain, Co-pilot, and Flight Engineer positions. They are meticulously modelled, with animated and functional switches, knobs, levers and gauges. The cockpit features highly detailed 8K and 4K textures, showcasing realistic wear and tear and lighting. With 3D Wwise sounds and accurate flight dynamics, A300B4 Professional from Just Flight will provide the ultimate experience of flying an 1970s three-crew steam-gauged aircraft.

We're very much looking forward to attending the FlightSimExpo 2023 event at Houston's Lone Star Flight Museum this weekend (June 23-25) and the Just Flight crew will be located in Booth W2 of the Waltrip Hangar.

Martyn, Richard, Scott and John will be there to showcase all of our latest and forthcoming add-ons and we’ll also have a special show product announcement for you. If you like the idea of picking up a bargain or two, we’ll also have a selection of recent add-ons for sale at special discounted show prices.

We are just one of more than 70 flight simulation software and hardware developers at the event (see the interactive floorplan on the FlightSimExpo website) and those attending will be able to enjoy educational seminars, cockpit building workshops, tours of air traffic control facilities and Space Center Houston, and a series of product reveals on Friday June 23.

FlightSimExpo 2023 is an all-ages event that welcomes FS enthusiasts and pilots of all experience levels from around the world. If you can't make it all the way to Texas this weekend, an Online-Only Registation option is available which will give you online access to most of the weekend's seminars, either live or on demand.

Check out the FlightSimExpo 2023 website for all the information you need - we'll look forward to seeing you in Houston!

It's always pleasing to see FS aircraft being reviewed in the mainstream aviation press and we were delighted to see Airliner World - the best selling civil aviation magazine in the world - putting our 146 Professional for MSFS through its paces in the latest (July 2023) issue.

Did they approve? They certainly did!

"Arguably among the best commercial aviation add-ons available for Microsoft Flight Simulator today."

"Just Flight has done an excellent job with the 146 Professional, and it really comes into its own on the MSFS platform (it is now available on PC and Xbox). From a visual standpoint, the aircraft is superb, inside and out, the flight deck is equally impressive with wear and tear, excellent systems simulation and clear easy-to-read gauges. Significantly, the latest update introduced further performance improvements."

"Just Flight has custom-coded the core systems to a very high level of detail, including the electrical system, fuel and hydraulics."

"The 146 features a Wwise sound set drawn from actual recordings from the real aircraft, so you can hear the APU and air conditioning packs come online, the running of the hydraulic pumps/electric motors and custom click sounds for the various switches. Even the howl when extending the flaps, a distinctive characteristic of the real aircraft, has been replicated."

The Airliner World team have kindly allowed us to share their review - you can download the full article as a PDF here!

See the 146 Professional page for all the aircraft details and you can buy a physical or online copy of Airliner World magazine from their website.

The next 146 update will include our much-anticipated custom UNS-1 FMS, providing a retro alternative to the existing modern FMS and no FMS options, selectable via the EFB tablet. The UNS-1, currently in the late stages of development and testing, features SID/STAR and hold functionality, Navigraph support and independent Captain and Co-pilot units. We have also been working on new weather radar features and we’ll update you on both of those new features very soon!
