Exciting Early Development News from GotFriends!
Hey everyone!
For those itching for some updates from our team, we’re thrilled to share very early development photos of our Aeroprakt A32 Vixxen — coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024! 
This project is a direct collaboration with our Aeroprakt USA contact, Andy Humphrey, and his amazing team at Heavenbound Aviation.
Initially, I had reached out to Andy for reference photos of two older Taylorcraft aircraft (BL65 and BC12D) used for flight training — a project we still have planned for 2025. 
But then something special happened:
Andy requested that we bring the A32 Vixxen into the sim to be used as an IFR training aid for his students. Helping train the next generation of pilots using Microsoft Flight Simulator was an opportunity we simply couldn’t pass up. 
It’s been a true honor and pleasure working alongside Heavenbound to get this project off the ground!
About the Build:
Attached below are the first in-sim screenshots showing an early build, featuring TwoSeventyInc’s first pass at materials and textures — highlighting both the exterior and interior of the A32.
Key Features:
- Powered by a Rotax 912iS
- Dual-seat, glass-panel layout
- Surprisingly capable for its compact size — especially when fitted with tundra tires and mud guards!
(Yes, we’ll definitely be doing some serious bush flying with her!
)
Other Updates:
For those eagerly awaiting the AS33Me Glider — don’t worry!
It’s still our next planned release.
We had a few timeline adjustments because we wanted to make sure our Discus 2C Glider was the first in our fleet to receive a native MSFS 2024 upgrade.
This upgrade includes:
- Enhanced LX gliding computer simulation
- Refreshed textures
- Native electrical FES simulation
- Major coding optimizations
We’re committed to ensuring our loyal glider community — who have supported us from day one — gets the best experience possible. 
Final Words:
From the entire GotFriends team:
THANK YOU for your incredible support, kind messages across Discord, and emails.
You are truly an amazing community, and we feel so grateful to be a part of it. 
Much love,
- The GotFriends Team
