Just in time for the holiday season, we are excited to share three new freeware aircraft releases for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Whether you're interested in classic aircraft, gliders, or modern utility planes, these new additions have something for everyone.
R.O.K. Air Force No.1007 Buhwal-ho
The Buhwal-ho, meaning "resurrection" in Korean, holds a special place in aviation history as the first domestically developed aircraft of the Republic of Korea. Designed in 1953 by the ROK Air Force Technical School, it served multiple roles, including observation and psychological operations. After its service, the aircraft was restored in 2004 and now resides in the National Museum of the R.O.K. Air Force. This freeware add-on, developed by AeroSolutionKorea, offers a faithful rendition of the Buhwal-ho, despite some limitations due to the original CFD model conversion. It is compatible with both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024, though you should note a few minor issues in the latter version. The aircraft is an excellent choice for those seeking to explore the legacy of Korean aviation. Download it for free here.
Fouga Castel C-25 S – Training Glider
The Fouga Castel C-25 S is a classic French training glider, renowned for its reliability and ease of use. Ideal for beginner and intermediate pilots, its stable flight behavior and ergonomic design have made it a staple in training programs. Historically, it gained recognition in the 1966 French film La Grande Vadrouille, where it was prominently featured. This new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024-exclusive add-on recreates the elegance of mid-20th-century glider design. Download it for free here.
DA62 Diamond Utility
The DA62 Diamond Utility is a versatile twin-engine aircraft now available as a freeware holiday gift to the community. The add-on includes multiple liveries, such as Coast Guard, Air Force, Navy, and Army operations, reflecting its utility-oriented design. This release includes upcoming features such as avionics dimming and new liveries. Download it for free here.
