The Just Flight F70 Professional brings a highly detailed and advanced simulation of this small, high-performance Dutch regional jet to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Designed as a modern evolution of the F28 turbojet regional airliner series and first taking to the skies in 1993, the F70 is a direct descendant of the larger F100 regional jet. The F70 is 4. 62m (15. 2ft) shorter than its larger sibling, with a maximum capacity of 80 passengers. It was initially targeted at the competitive 70-seat U. S. regional jet market, however, the aircraft would attract interest from airlines from all corners of the globe.
The aircraft offers greater efficiency and improved performance over its predecessors, whilst still being optimised for short- to medium-haul routes. With a maximum range of over 1,500 miles (2,414 km) and a state-of-the-art glass cockpit and avionics suite, the F70 remains a strong competitor against comparable aircraft in its class.
Just Flight's F70 Professional for Microsoft Flight Simulator is a complex, high-fidelity simulation of the F70 regional jet. Developed over half a decade, it draws on extensive reference material, hands-on experience with the real aircraft, and input from a dedicated team of F70 pilots and engineers.
The aircraft features fully custom-coded systems based on real-world FCOMs, including electrical, hydraulic, fuel and pressurisation systems, alongside a comprehensive avionics suite featuring Automatic Flight Control and Augmentation System (AFCAS), Automatic Thrust System (ATS), independent Flight Management Computers (FMCs), dual Inertial Navigation Systems (IRSs), Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) and Multifunction Display Units (MFDUs).
Native models of the cockpit, cabin and exterior are included, with high-resolution textures providing the highest possible texture detail and clarity. The product features a large selection of high-quality liveries, each with custom cabin textures and accurate equipment configurations based on extensive research of each aircraft.
The aircraft is brought to life with wear and tear based on extensive reference photos, immersive dynamic cockpit and exterior lighting, a 3D Wwise sound set recorded from the real aircraft, and accurate flight dynamics.
See the Detailed Description below for full details of all the aircraft features and you can download the manuals here: Operations Manual / EFB Manual.
