Microsoft have released updates to three Local Legends/Famous Flyers into the MSFS Marketplace today with fixes for three recently released aircraft: Bell 47J, Junkers F 13 and MU-2. Here’s what you can expect.

Three Marketplace aircraft updates

I’m always pleased to see updates coming to aircraft that solve problems. While there are a few in the back catalogue that I’d like to still see looked at (Orbx’s DHC-4… I’m looking at you and your defrosting/deicing equipment controls), I am pleased to see that the Bell 47J, Junkers F 13 and MU-2 are all being updated.
