And then there’s the speed which can impressively climb to Mach 9. This aircraft can exceed 120,000 feet which is way more than what I do with my usual GA trip or what an airliner experience might be. The Asobo team built their own version of the Darkstar giving them the opportunity not only to give us a hypersonic experience in the sim but also show off what the MSFS engine can do when you start getting into some more extreme altitudes.
It allegedly even caused a few Chinese spy satellites to change course and have a look at the “aircraft.” Designed in collaboration with Lockheed Skunk Works team specifically for the movie, this aircraft was built in full scale model form. They also package in the fictional Darkstar prototype hypersonic aircraft. Asobo, fix that please! There are two new military pilots with a male and female option mirroring many of the other pilots in the sim. Sadly that last part doesn’t appear to be available outside of the challenges. Together with the F/A-18E that was released last year, we now get a new Top Gun Maverick skin for the jet, two fighter pilot models to put in the cockpit, and a special Maverick specific pilot model (with iconic helmet) for the challenges. The Top Gun music theme plays in the background as you navigate the menus – nice! Check out the challenges and training activities and track your progress. Click on the tile and you’re taken to a menu allowing you access to some of the more specialized content of the Maverick DLC. Microsoft Flight Simulator has built-in a whole segment of their interface for this. It’s a movie-tie in and its meant to give you something to do after you come home from the movie and want to zoom around in fighter jets for an afternoon. Right up front, I’ve needed to remind myself that this is a free content package. Here’s what you can expect flying Top Gun Maverick on Microsoft Flight Simulator. I wanted to take a quick look and review what this pack is and isn’t. Released on just a day after the movie comes out, Microsoft and Paramount Pictures have come together to produce a free DLC package themed around the movie.
