STORE NEWS
We are excited to announce that the newly released BAe 146 Professional for X-Plane 12 is now available. Developed by JustFlight in partnership with Thranda Design, this add-on aims to accurately replicate the four-engine, short-haul regional airliner.

The addon includes a wide range of features, such as eight different variants of the BAe 146, all of which have been accurately modelled. It comes with a 3D cockpit that features an extended Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). The use of Physically Based Rendering (PBR) ensures realistic visuals. The addon’s systems are custom-coded and designed with a high level of complexity and detail. These elements collectively contribute to making the addon as realistic as possible.
