One of the elements that may surprise the new virtual pilots that will approach the flight simulation hobby in two days (at least if they don’t follow our daily MSFS news) is how prolific the third-party add-on market is. Think of DLC, but created by third-party developers and released by the hundreds every year.

Australia-based Orbx is one of the most prominent among the companies creating such add-ons, counting on several development teams around the world.

Today’s trailer shows some of the add-ons that will be available when the Xbox version launches, the iconic London City Airport (EGLC), city packs for London itself and Singapore (which massively improve the looks of the cities with tons of beautifully modeled landmarks), and the Edgley EA-7 Optica observation aircraft, which is perfect to take in the sights of the simulator.

You can check them out below.

Do keep in mind that there are going to be a metric ton of add-ons released for Microsoft Flight Simulator for Xbox just as it happened on PC. The market can be a bit confusing, so you can read my article on how to select those that are right for you.

Recently, we published our brand new and massive interview with head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann, focusing on the Xbox version and short and long-term plans for the sim (on both platforms).

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
