Carenado recently shared further previews of their upcoming Beechcraft B-390 Premier 1A for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which is said to be “on final approach” and “ coming soon.”

The new previews show more of the externals, one shot of the flight deck, and a shot of the cabin. 

The Beechcraft B-390 Premier IA was an updated version of the Premier 1, which was designed in the mid-90s, first flown in 1998, and certified in 2001. The IA was almost like a real-life patch to fix some lingering issues with the project, such as the subpar brakes, the noisy cabin, and the cockpit, which was deemed below par by many. The aforementioned upgrade rolled out in 2006, and over 163 new Premiers were built in five years.

The little jet is powered by two Williams FJ44-2A Turbofan engines. It cruises at 841 km/h, has a range of 950 miles, a service ceiling of 41,000 feet, and, depending on the configuration, can carry 6 to 7 passengers.
