Using the new “Exclusive Series” moniker, Microsoft and Flight FX have together launched the Hawker 800XP for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. We have a confirmed price (obviously) as well. Let’s have a look.

Ready for launch

Releasing into the Marketplace yesterday, Flight FX’s Hawker 800XP is now on sale for $36.99 USD. The business jet sports a lengthy list of features with reportedly deeply simulated systems, custom EFB (with systems visualization system), custom systems modeling, Working Title Proline 21 avionics, and systems persistence across flights with 1,300 parameters tracked.

Microsoft was putting some marketing muscle behind the release with their own news item on the MSFS store. You can read the full report here.

    I could not resist and bought it. Havent had that much fun in the past 10 years with an aircraft module (10 years ago I was with the IXEG). I like the little details, seems to run stable and looks well thought. Rarely I recomment, but this one is cool!

      Amazing! That is so good to hear! The core piece of all of this flight simming is ultimately to have fun and enjoy the whole experience so when I hear that this is the most fun you’ve had in 10 years… I jump for joy (metaphorically :D).

      I’ve got a bunch of aircraft in my queue to have a look at. I was going to resist with this one but I may just have to pick it up.

        It’s the little details. First of all, it can be handflown like a Cessna – or all the way with the FMS. Behaves well in the air. I like the Proline avionics, which I exported to external screens. Sounds are very immersive. The right seat pilot can even set the music which the passengers will hear. You can get out of the pilots seat, walk back and listen to Jazz 🙂 Or take a look at the toilet. The manual is like 700 pages.

        The EFB has some in-depth stuff, but the coolest thing there are the approach charts. I don’t have Navigraph or similar installed, but was able to load an approach chart for an ILS. Loading a STAR and transition midflight was easy.

        Performancewise the engines are powerful, while the landing distance is short. The autopilot modes are a bit old fashioned (you can see the status only on the PFD), but thats cool. Complex, but not too complex. Makes it a candidate for 3D-printing and building a homecockpit.

        I usually nag about engine 2 mirroring engine 1 parameters. They are a little close in this plane (and this is the only complaint for me). But hey, this can still be realistic and they thought of it.

        Can’t wait to fly more.

        Yeah that sounds fantastic. I’ll have to seriously consider moving it up my queue and check it out soon!
