The YF-23 Grey Ghost/Black Widow announced by Top Mach Studios is in the final development stages and could be released soon for the marketplace. And later for the XBOX.
The YF-23 lost the competion for the “Advanced Tactical Fighter” program of the USAF to its counterpart the F-22 Raptor.
The YF-23 could come this week for PC and Xbox!
Exactly 35 years after the First Flight!
August 27, 1990
The YF-23 is available for Xbox and PC …MSFS 2020!
Finally released. Thank you Developers and Marketplace Team!
OMG…FINALLY!!!
This addon is THE new definition and standard for MSFS FBW handling for fighter addons - IMO. 
I cannot wait for the F-22 and T-7 to be updated with Top Mach’s latest FBW flight model handling technology. I will finally be able to enjoy flying Top Mach fighter addons - starting with this YF-23!
This addon is probably in line for updates like any other new addon. However, the flight model control throughout the envelope I typically fly fighters in (270-400 kts) is an unbelievable and long awaited achievement - without having to disable FBW in the addon.
Today is truly a great day in the history of MSFS - at least for me.
Is there a way to turn off the sound of the breathing?
Anyone else having trouble with the brakes not stopping the aircraft after it is rolling? Even with a threshold landing, I keep rolling off the opposite end of the runway.
I read in their Discord that is something Beta related. I’m not in the SU4 Beta and the brakes work properly.
Thanks, that would make sense.
I picked this up yesterday (in 2020!) ….and read that its supposed to also give you access to the 2024 Native model free of charge - but not showing up in my 2024 yet?
Anybody else had this issue …does it take a few days to port over things?
Yeah, it can take a day or so. I bought it in 2024 and the 2020 version showed up the next day.
Thanks, will keep my fingers crossed!
Also, make sure you search for it under “My Library” in the Marketplace section. Often the cross-platform stuff will be available but not activated.
So how is it in VR in 2024? I’m considering it.
I’m interested in this plane. How fast does it go? What altitude can it achieve? What runway length is required to take off and land? Is the autopilot any good? Does it compare favorably to CJ Simulations Eurofighter, if you’ve used that one. Please pardon the questions, but I want to make sure what it can do before spending a lot of $ on this. Thanks.
How does this plane compare to Top Mach’s F-22 Raptor in MSFS 2024? Trying to understand the differences, speeds, capabilities, flyability, relative pros and cons between Top Mach F-22 Raptor, Top Mach YF-23, and CJ Simulations Eurofighter Typhoon before dropping ~$30 a pop just to “try” it.
I made the mistake of buying this. You have to listen to the sound of the pilot breathing through an oxygen mask the whole time.
Isn’t anyone going to do Liveries for the F-23A? I’d really love to see fictional entries. Brit, Canadian, German, Japanese.
