C-160 Transall
After its retirement from the French military service in 2022 and more than 1,000,000 flight hours combined, it is time for the Transall to live a second life in Flight Simulator!
It accomplished thousands of missions, flew above hundreds of countries and has been involved in numerous humanitarian missions. We just wanted to salute this Franco-German aviation emblem.
Developed in close collaboration with real pilots and true Transall experts, every detail of the aircraft has been carefull... After its retirement from the French military service in 2022 and more than 1,000,000 flight hours combined, it is time for the Transall to live a second life in Flight Simulator!
It accomplished thousands of missions, flew above hundreds of countries and has been involved in numerous humanitarian missions. We just wanted to salute this Franco-German aviation emblem.
Developed in close collaboration with real pilots and true Transall experts, every detail of the aircraft has been carefully inspected to ensure the most accurate reproduction possible.
We have put a lot of effort to improve even more our quality standards compared to our previous products. The great complexity of the aircraft and its military-designed systems forced us to adapt our development processes accordingly. Hence, our Transall includes a big amount of bespoke systems and does not re-use existing generic avionics from the simulator.
This is a fully native MSFS 2024 version, featuring more functionality and a significant overall quality improvement.

Please download the manual on our website to see all implemented features.
Special thanks to the "Musée Européen de l'Aviation de Chasse" in Montélimar, France, that provided access to a retired French C-160R.
