Xbox-themed aircraft arrive in the simulator
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has received new Xbox-themed aircraft liveries to mark the 25th anniversary of Xbox, according to Notebookcheck. The Anniversary Livery Collection is now available through the in-game marketplace.
A livery is the paint scheme or vinyl wrap applied to an aircraft. The report notes that both methods are used on real aircraft, although the distinction makes no difference in the virtual world.
Which aircraft are included
The collection covers several types of aircraft. One is a Boeing 737 MAX, which can be recognised by the chevrons on its engine nacelles.
Sportier options include the wheeled variant of the XCub, which carries an Xbox logo. The set also adds a hot air balloon and the Skyship 600, a non-rigid airship suited to leisurely flights.
How to get the collection
The Anniversary Livery Collection can be downloaded through the in-game marketplace in Flight Simulator 2024, according to the report. The source material does not list a price, so that detail remains unconfirmed.
