Top Gun: Maverick Expansion – Available Now for Microsoft Flight Simulator

Develop the skills required and navigate complexities encountered by actual Top Gun pilots in authentic locations, including a carrier deck landing challenge, one of the most demanding operations in the world of military aviation. The Top Gun: Maverick expansion also contains a Maverick Edition livery for the F/A-18E Super Hornet, Super Hornet training missions that will introduce you to radical flight maneuvers, five high-speed, low-level challenges through mountains and canyons, a never-before-unveiled hypersonic aircraft, and a mission to roar into the stratosphere. This expansion, created in partnership with the Top Gun: Maverick film and Paramount Pictures, will push your piloting abilities to the limits and beyond!

This expansion pack was officially announced in summer last year and scheduled for release back in November 2021. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic it got delayed just like the movie. The expansion can now be downloaded both on PC and Xbox for free in the Microsoft Flight Simulator in-game Marketplace.

The “Top Gun: Maverick” expansion contains:

• A “Top Gun: Maverick Edition” livery for the F/A-18E Super Hornet.
• Three training missions for the Super Hornet that will allow you to master radical flight maneuvers including unrestricted take-offs, split S maneuvers, and low altitude, high-speed maneuvering through complex terrain.
• Five high-speed, low-level challenges that require utmost skill to navigate just above mountains and traverse through canyons.
• A carrier deck landing challenge, one of the most demanding operations in the world of military aviation.
• A never-before-unveiled hypersonic aircraft that can attain speeds of Mach 10 and altitudes greater than 150,000 feet above sea level.
• A mission to roar into the stratosphere.
