Developed with support from Dassault Aviation, JFEXP and real world Rafale pilots, AzurPoly’s latest fighter jet project for Microsoft Flight Simulator is taking shape as the developer announces that the project will release later this summer. In other words, its just weeks away from a release! A new trailer and feature list have just arrived so let’s have a look.

Getting ready for launch

Features include highly detailed model, optimized textures for high performance, simulated tire deformation, custom avionics suite, custom fly-by-wire system with multiple simulated modes, custom autopilot with all modes, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems simulation, and on the list goes.

The sound work comes from Echo19 and custom visual effects include realistic afterburner effect, as well as payload and weapons options with droppable stores.

For PC users with an additional update the aircraft will gain air to air weapons and realistic effects, target tracking, and simulated impact effects. A custom AI traffic generation will also create interactive mission scenarios using the EFB to set them up.

It’s quite an impressive array of features and its likely going to put AzurPoly and their Rafale release in the upper echelons of military aircraft in the civil aviation focused sim.

Check out the features list here and stay tuned for more updates!

  1. Do you think AzurPoly could be a DCS developer one day?

      1. Oh I know about the HeatBlur Rafale. What I mean is that AzurPoly could do their own DCS aircraft that is not a Rafale, because they have proven to make exquisite aircraft for simulation, so I would like to see a DCS FF aircraft from them.

      sadly, the track record of dev crossovers into DCS has been extremely limited.

      Inverse, too, now that I think of it.

      Seems to be driven by the difficulty of developing for DCS.

      Somewhat ironically, Razbam was the last one to jump from FS to DCS. And they never continued with FS.

      FIS has been working on their Corsair II for something like 4 years at this point, and still no sign of light at the end of the tunnel. IIRC, they even said they had to prioritize MSFS projects to keep themselves paid enough to continue on with Corsair.

      Inversely, HeatBlur has so far only been providing art and such to IFT for their joint projects. Though to be fair, their Phantom is said to be a HB-only affair.

      The truth is simply that the expertise needed to dev for each platform is so deep that “cross-platform” projects really seem to effectively be sub-contracted.

  2. who’s to say Azurpoly and Heatblur aren’t in cahoots over the DCS Rafale? It would make much sense for them to do it together.

      Maybe but maybe not. AzurPoly have focused a lot on military aircraft types like the Jaguar, OV-10 and C-160 so the Rafale is an extension of that.

  3. confusing… how many companies are involved in this??

    what’s the rhyme or reason? one consortium for MSFS, another for DCS?

      I’m not sure if there are any direct links here. Dassault and Jet Fighter Experience (JFEXP) are the common links.
