Here’s what we know about this initial release.

The news, coming yesterday, indicated that the MB-339 is ready to go and has been sent to Microsoft. In a post on their Facebook page, the developer wrote,

Following a positive final check tonight, the latest MB-339 build has been sent to Microsoft for review and potential publication on the Marketplace. The package will also be sold on other stores – I will let you know when it will be availble [sic] and where soon.

In another post just a few days ago we also learned what they are planning to package in the initial offering with this base version including:

• Two external visual models: MB.339PAN-MLU and MB-339A (non MLU)
• Multiple liveries including Armada Argentina, United Arab Emirates and Malaysia
• Two virtual cockpit models: PAN-MLU and A-MLU: this is not completely correct as the A model is not MLU). NOTE: front cockpit only.
• The package is entirely developed according to MSFS SDK, including native visual and flight models
• System simulation is based on MSFS default implementation

IndiaFoxTecho is planning to offer this version as a medium fidelity option for Flight Simulator with a more fully featured variant offered later. Also of note is that a full fidelity version is also being developed officially for DCS World which is also where the project got its start as a mod.

According to the developer, this version on offer will be up for 20€ (taxes where applicable) or approximately $23.50 USD when it hits the marketplace. Look for that to happen soon!
