Black Square is developing an Aero Commander 685 and 690B

I want an AI autopilot who knows how to fly like Bob Hoover.

As long as it’s deafeningly loud, I’ll be thrilled. And Boris will do a good job, I’m sure

Black Square Creating AC690 and 685, Now everyone on Carenado go to their request page and ask for ac500s for MSFS2024!

(immediately pulls out poo-pooing pen….) :wink:

Would rather have them port the EMB 120 over… or better yet have Black Square just do it next after the Turbo Commander :eyes::eyes:

But, I’m hopeful the commander is next up after the Caravan, I just can’t wait.

Though I hope Nick takes a well-deserved break after Caravan 1.1 release.

Somehow he combines quality AND quantity. I just started flying the Dukes again, after having hangared them for no good reason other than the newer Baron is similar and has a bit better cockpit visibility.

The Commander and the eventual King Air Professional are going to overload the part of my brain that decides ā€œwhat plane should I fly todayā€. :slight_smile:

Agreed, stunning quality.

It might be, because the leaks came out a while ago. And another question does anyone know if Carenado is making 500s because they made B200.

Anyone know why it was removed from msfsaddons dot com’s list of aircraft in development dated 4/18/2026? The 685 was probably my most anticipated aircraft.

Fear not, it’s back on that list!

Thank you. Would you happen to know when the last update has been?

I haven’t seen an update in a while, but if you post in Just Flight’s forums, Nick will probably give you at least a quick answer.
