Two Microsoft Flight Simulator content launches happening today. First, Local Legend 17 which has been revealed to be the Curtiss C-46 Commando by Aeroplane Heaven is out for purchase. The freely available City Update 9: Northeastern United States is also out.
Local Legend 17: Curtiss C-46 Commando
Temperamental and problematic at times, the Curtiss C-46 Commando nevertheless gave a good accounting for itself during and after World War II. During the war it was able to carry cargo loads higher and faster than any other Allied transport and that made it ideal for flying the risky Himalaya Mountains route (also known as “The Hump”).
Aeroplane Heaven have once again been tapped to offer up a historical military and civilian transport aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The aircraft comes in four liveries: Japanese Air Self Defense Force, Olive Drab (Fictional), Blue (U.S. Navy), USMIL. The aircraft is available for purchase through the Marketplace for $14.99 USD.
City Update 9: Northeastern United States
Updated aerial imagery and triangulated irregular network (TIN) for several north eastern United States cities are packaged together with City Update 9. Washington DC, Buffalo, Allentown, and the East End of Long Island, New York have all been updated.
The update is free for everyone! Read more about it here.
