History
FlightFX emerged in 2020 to develop aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator, quickly establishing themselves with the Marwan Gharibs HJet—a detailed simulation of the Honda Jet developed in collaboration with Marwan Gharib. This release demonstrated their commitment to quality and attention to detail.
The company has since expanded their portfolio with the Piaggio P180 Avanti and the Cessna Citation X, each representing a distinctive niche in the business aviation space. They’ve also developed airport scenery add-ons for the Chicago area.
