Classic Aircraft Simulations (CAS) has announced its next project: the iconic de Havilland Comet 4 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. A groundbreaking aircraft of its time, the Comet 4 resolved the structural issues of the earlier Comet 1 and emerged in 1958 as Britain’s answer to the Boeing 707. With enhanced safety, extended range, and increased passenger capacity, the Comet 4 was a hallmark of mid-century aviation, offering airlines a competitive and stylish solution for the growing demand for jet-powered, long-haul air travel. CAS is committed to delivering an authentic experience, meticulously recreating the Comet’s analogue flight deck, which embodies the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the 1950s. This detailed simulation will transport users back to an era where piloting required exceptional skill and teamwork.

Additionally, CAS is working on an update for their J3 aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and it will be a free update. While the aircraft performs well with the new flight model, a few unexpected issues have surfaced due to differences between versions. CAS is actively refining the update to ensure a seamless experience and hopes to have a fully functional release soon. Both projects reflect CAS’s dedication to capturing the essence of classic aviation and delivering immersive simulations for flight enthusiasts.
