I believe the community will make a decent fly model out of it if it’s not encryped.
The dev notes also mentioned its not currently flyable. Maybe suggesting they have plans for it at a later date.
I just tried to find it myself, to no avail. So I guess there is simply a typo in the sentence here:
“The Flying Eye Hospital is available as a free download to all Microsoft Flight Simulator users to tour won July 27.”
First I thought that it is only available to some users that won some kind of “tour contest”, and that this sentence was just weird.
But after a couple of coffee sips I now assume that this is supposed to mean on, as in “available on July 27” (which - coincidentaly - is also the expected date of the next sim update).
In other words: we still have to wait a couple of days 
According to the general text parsing intelligence and capabilities of the Internet the current consensus seems to be that the word “won” is actually supposed to be “on”, as in “available on July 27”

“The Flying Eye Hospital is available as a free download to all Microsoft Flight Simulator users to tour beginning today and will be available as a free download in the Marketplace on Xbox Series X|S on July 27”
Today means today (for PC). Not on the 27th.

That’s most definitely not what the article says lol, pretty specifically says that it’s available for pc today and consoles on launch day.
You can LOL as much as you want: I previously put a quote from the article of the exact statement which said that the aircraft will be available “(w)on 27 July”. Go check it out again

It’s simply a typo in the article - that’s all.
Would it be preferable to redesign the taxi ribbon to a smaller size/colour? I like the option on bigger airports but the current huge blue arrows kinda mess up the scenery. It’s a bit overdone. Maybe the narrower yellow ribbon that was used in FSX would present a more discrete assistance in finding your way.
Thanks for considering.

In an article I’ve read it mentioned that the plane would be there but isn’t (yet?) flyable.
The article to which this discussion thread here relates to, specifically:
Calm down, dude! Did you press the “reload” button in your browser? Perhaps the article did mention something like this in the past, but the current statement is:
“The Flying Eye Hospital is available as a free download to all Microsoft Flight Simulator users to tour won July 27.” [emphasis added]

Nah, it wasn’t. The logbook is just so buggy that it doesn’t know whether you are flying or on the ground half the time. Or it forgets where you took off. That’s why the logbook end screen often doesn’t show up when you shut down the engine.
Can someone please explain to me like I’m 5 years old why the Captain Scam 777 made it into the marketplace???
It’s literally the 747 with a different exterior model… How does Asobo/MS not take issue with a developer repackaging their own assets?? Why is this being allowed?
Guess money is all that matters…

Money makes the world go around. But a long term commitment to a strong healthy community will make more money. But you gotta chase that share price.
But I’m sadly not particularly surprised. They keep letting their ethnocentrism show in the World Updates.

Oh man, I would kiss somebodies feet if the DC/MD-10 would be flyable

Hi, I would like to report that in this version of flight simulator there’s no more the tower view that was present in the older flight simulator, I think that should be an important uptade because it makes the flights with aerobatic aicrafts much more interesting and enjoyable also it’s also useful for training for RC flying models. I wish you’ll add the tower view function thanks.

It’s been changed since then, so apparently we were both correct. I shall include a complimentary lol here again, have fun
Edit: the Xbox press release (Orbis Flying Eye Hospital Comes to Life in Microsoft Flight Simulator - Xbox Wire) in fact still mentions the orbis being released on Thursday.
“The Flying Eye Hospital is available as a free download for all Microsoft Flight Simulator users to tour beginning today and will be available as a free download in the Marketplace on Xbox Series X|S on July 27. The sky is calling!”
The modeling looks amazing and brings awareness to this great cause. It too wish MSFS would make it flyable and charge a fee for it. Half goes to the team and the other half goes to Orbis. Hopefully we will fly an MD10 some day soon. You can do this…! Great job regardless but I hope you make it flyable…!
Funny, but it was appearing, but only when the aircraft went dark … so I’m not sure if that was a coincidence that my 20 or so flights all ended the same way with the logbook appearing after I hit the battery off switch, or it was as you say … would be very dubious to have it happen 20 times on the run.
