SWEET! I asked for a commander in the “which aircraft do you want to see 3rd party dev make” Looks like I’m gonna get my wish one day
This is already my favorite Black Square plane! So excited for the 690!
Also, a fun little story that relates to the Aero Commander design that may or may not be true but I like it:
Allegedly, when asked why he stuck with the high wing design concept, Ted Smith responded with something along the lines of “well, have you ever seen a low wing bird?”.
I always have fond memories of Milton Shupe’s Aero Commander 520 in FS2004. It was one of my favorite planes.
Me too! RIP Milton
YEEESSSS!!!
And if it has Garmin glass as an option, I’ll pay PMDG-level pricing!!!
And before you start poo-pooing on Garmin, saying “Fly it with steam gauges the way it’s supposed to be flown!”, just remember that there are lots of choices out there in the wild!
Looking forward to the Black Square Aero Commander 685 and 690B, hoping Black Square will do a BAe JS31/41 in the future-a plane PMDG did for FSX, the JS41 but never ever brought to MSFS.
My favorite GA aircraft, flew in it a couple of times back in 1989. Can’t wait!
I’m sure it will be great and all, but it doesn’t have enough switches for me, was counting on the King Air made from scratch for MSFS2024 that Black Square was discussing in the past.
