FlightFX Reveals Hawker Beechcraft 800XP for MSFS 2024
Quick summary· AI-generated
FlightFX reveals an upcoming business-jet addon for MSFS 2024 — the Hawker Beechcraft 800XP with a Pro Line 21 glass cockpit, comprehensive systems modeling (electrical, hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic, pressurization), custom TFE731-5BR engine logic including autothrottle retrofit, and an infrastructure called Inertial Immersion System that simulates movement, vibration, and aerodynamic effects across six axes. The aircraft also ships with VAMS 3.0 EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) featuring SimBrief integration, weight-and-balance tools, and real-time systems monitoring via aircraft-specific system maps — a first for FlightFX. All avionics are based on Working Title's enhanced Pro Line 21 with Navigraph charts, LIDO integration, performance calculators, and custom FMC pages.
Excerpt from Threshold
FlightFX has unexpectedly revealed a brand-new aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, the Hawker Beechcraft 800XP, with a release set for Sept. 8 through the MSFS 2024 Marketplace.
The midsize business jet, derived from the long-running de Havilland/Hawker Siddeley and British Aerospace 125 lineage, is outfitted with a Pro Line 21-equipped flight deck and comes with detailed electrical, hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic, and pressurisation systems, according to FlightFX.
The aircraft is built on real-world performance data, features custom flight dynamics, and includes a sound set recorded from the real aircraft.
The Hawker will also become the first FlightFX aircraft to include system maps within the EFB, where you can monitor your systems, such as electrical buses, fuel flow, hydraulic pressure, and pneumatic routing in real time.
FlightFX has modelled the aircraft’s TFE731-5BR engines, which feature custom digital engine control logic, including calibrated fuel consumption, spool behaviour, overspeed and overtemperature protection, thrust reversers, Automatic Power Reserve, and an optional autothrottle retrofit.
The onboard avionics are based on Working Title’s Pro Line 21, an enhanced version that also includes aircraft-specific controls, weather radar, integrated Navigraph and LIDO charts, custom FMC pages, performance calculators, checklists, along-track offset, and missed-approach functionality.
The aircraft also ships with FlightFX’s “Inertial Immersion System”, which is an infrastructure that models movement and vibration across six axes, also with custom wing flex, stick shaker and pusher logic, rudder bias, and lift dump.
The onboard VAMS 3.0 EFB will have SimBrief integration, charts, an in-flight map, weight and balance options, ground equipment controls, and extensive systems monitoring,
FlightFX has also added a system called “FlightFX Enroute”, a passenger-facing cabin display that shows route progress, altitude, speed, weather information, and estimated time of arrival, among other details.

Pneumatic & Pressurization Systems
Custom, physics-based climate control with heat transfer calculated from airflow and volume. Air-cycle-machine valves move in real time to blend ram air, heat-exchanger air, and engine/APU bleed air to meet zone targets.
Custom pressurization system with dual outflow valves plus differential- and ambient-pressure calculations for both…
