Last month, Microsoft Flight Simulator developer Asobo Studio revealed that a new series of crafts would be heading to the simulation game as part of a series called 'Local Legends'. This celebrates aircrafts that are famous in the sim's World Update-related regions but not as well known elsewhere, and today the first of the series has landed (hah): the Junkers JU-52.
This classic aircraft has been introduced to the flight sim to complement its recently launched World Update IV, which focuses on Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The Junkers JU-52 is a German plane dating back to 1930 which is "lovingly called 'Tante JU' or 'Aunt JU' in its home country. To give simmers a flavour of the new plane, the devs have shared a clip of it in action, which you can check out below.
To recreate it, MFS head Jorg Neumann explains in a blog post that the devs "scanned the entire plane with a high-resolution digital scanner to achieve an extremely high level of detail and accuracy", so it sounds like what you see - and fly - should be a faithful rendition of the real thing.
