One of the most anticipated general aviation releases of 2026 has officially landed. Black Square, in partnership with Just Flight, has released the Caravan Professional for both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 - and it's shaping up to be a landmark release for turboprop fans and bush flying enthusiasts alike.
A Ground-Up Rebuild, Not a Mod
First things first: the Caravan Professional is not a modification of the default Cessna 208 that ships with Microsoft Flight Simulator. Black Square has built this from scratch - new exterior model, redesigned virtual cockpit, and an entirely custom systems architecture. That distinction matters. Where the default Caravan is perfectly serviceable for casual flying, Black Square's version is squarely aimed at sim pilots who want study-level depth in a single-engine turboprop. The PT6A-114A turbine engine is fully modelled, with accurate ITT, torque, and fuel flow dynamics. The failure system draws on NASA data and supports over 100 possible failures, making this one of the most comprehensive system simulation packages available for Microsoft Flight Simulator outside of heavy airliners.
What's in the Box
The Caravan Professional is available in two packages — and as a full bundle:
- Passenger — USD $47.99
- Amphibian & Cargo — USD $47.99
- Complete Bundle (all variants) — USD $64.99
Owners of Black Square's previous Steam Gauge Analog Caravan receive a loyalty discount: 20% off either individual package, or 10% off the full bundle. Beyond the engine simulation, standout features include:
- Boris Audio Works audio — one of the most respected names in flight sim sound design
- 12 hot-swappable radio configurations, doubling the options found in the Analog version
- Advanced cabin temperature simulation, described by the developer as the most detailed implementation of its kind in MSFS
- Fully operational doors on all four positions, with an animated fold-out ladder on the front pair
