Following three years of development, Miltech Simulations is preparing to launch their U-2 “Dragon Lady” spyplane for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Now, the developer is preparing to launch it to the world. Let’s check out the details!
Enter the Dragon Lady
Preparing for release, Miltech Simulations reports that their U-2 Spyplane for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 comes with three variants (U-2S, U-2R and ER-2 free after release), 19 liveries, 3 working sensors, 40 MFD pages modeled, 4 sceneries and 7 missions!
The developers have modeled the type’s sensor suites with an ASARS-2 radar, SYERS-2A camera, and an optical camera.
Other features include a working chase car, crews and ground equipment, and scenery including Groom Lake 1960s, RAF Fairford, RAF Akrotiri and a fictional CIA Nordic base in Lapland.
U-2S is coming first with a digital cockpit, GE F118 engine and 19 liveries. Later, the U-2R and ER-2 will come (reportedly only just a few weeks after initial release) with classic dial cockpit and J75 engine. The NASA research version, the ER-2, is also coming as well and you’ll pick up 5-10 more missions along with period accurate chase cars.
Release is expected on November 13 and the price will be $36.99 USD for the whole package. All aircraft are included in the price though it sounds like the U-2R and ER-2 will be packaged separately following their arrival.
It’s initially PC-only and sold through the Miltech Simulations store and the iniBuilds store. But is expected to come to the Marketplace and console later.
