FlightFX HJet HA-420 Released for MSFS 2024

FlightFX has released the HJet HA-420 for MSFS 2024, bringing Marwan Gharib’s popular microjet into the new sim, also with a broad rebuild.

According to FlightFX, the MSFS 2024 edition focuses on bigger changes under the hood, including a rebuilt flight model, updated ground handling and suspension physics, and an avionics backend moved to the Working Title V2 framework, with a custom Vertical Situation Display (VSD) to match. 

On the visuals side, the package utilises MSFS 2024-native materials and shaders, a remodelled cockpit, and a refreshed cabin with interactive elements, smart glass-style window shades, and the now-not-so-secret cabin companion, Rufus. Audio has also been redone, with FlightFX listing a new soundscape by Echo 19, alongside updated engine, ground roll, and cockpit ambience work. 

FlightFX is also shipping the HJet with its VAMS 2.0 EFB, including Navigraph integration, SimBrief-supported weight and balance tools, and additional utilities, plus native support for MSFS 2024 walk-around interactions.

The developer also highlights compatibility with MSFS 2024 Career Mode.
