MSFS Presents: FlightFX Hawker Beechcraft 800XP

Experience one of business aviation’s most enduring aircraft with the Hawker 800XP, created by FlightFX for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

For more than three decades, the Hawker 800XP has carried passengers around the world, earning a reputation as a proven and versatile midsize business jet. FlightFX brings this enduring aircraft to the simulator with a deeply modeled rendition built around the systems, performance, and operating experience of the real jet.

Step into the PL21-equipped flight deck and discover an aircraft where the systems beneath the panels matter. The H25B is the first FlightFX product to feature detailed system maps on the EFB. The electrical, hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic, and pressurization systems work together throughout every flight, supported by interactive system synoptics, real-world performance data, custom flight dynamics, total aircraft persistence, and an immersive soundscape recorded from the real aircraft.

Take command of this stalwart of business aviation and discover why the Hawker 800XP has earned its place on flight lines around the world. Learn its systems, master its flight deck, and experience this proven business jet for yourself in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

Available September 8, exclusively on the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Marketplace.

It’s been a blast helping the team out bring this aircraft to the sim. We got a bunch of great guys with an extreme amount of knowledge on the aircraft on this team. Everyone will definitely enjoy this one! FFX has done it again!

Love the influx of business jets lately, it’s been an ignored segment of the market for a long time

Amazing. Thank you!

The FlightFX team is slowly becoming their own competition in the business jet segment. :smiley: I’m still tempted by the Citation X though, with its uniquely high service ceiling… FFX isn’t making the choice easy now.

This is the Flight FX signature move, the Citation X is the best AC because of it. If this is career mode ready so is my wallet :call_me_hand:
