Working Title has shared new details on the upcoming Embraer Praetor 600 for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
During the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator developer livestream, Working Title’s Matt Nischan explained that the team is aiming to simulate the aircraft to an exceptionally high standard, with a focus on accurately recreating the Praetor 600’s onboard systems rather than relying on simplified logic.
One of the biggest highlights is the aircraft’s electrical system. According to the team, hundreds of individual circuits are being modelled, alongside fully functional circuit breaker panels. This means failures, power changes, and system interactions will behave in a far more realistic way than seen in most default aircraft.
Hydraulic systems are also receiving detailed treatment, including pump logic, temperature behaviour, and interactions with other aircraft systems. Working Title also noted that the engines are being built using engineering-based thermodynamic calculations, allowing performance to react dynamically to changing operating conditions.
The Praetor 600’s APU will reportedly use the same advanced simulation logic as the main engines, while cockpit alerts and warnings will be tied directly to real aircraft states rather than scripted triggers.
On the avionics side, the aircraft will feature a custom implementation of the Collins Pro Line Fusion suite. Two fully independent flight management systems are being developed, each with separate navigation sources. LNAV, VNAV, and performance calculations are also being built with a strong emphasis on realism.
Additional features mentioned include inertial reference drift and radio signal behaviour affected by terrain, meaning navigation aids such as VOR stations may experience reduced reception depending on geography and positioning.
We will follow this one closely and be sure to keep you updated once we learn more.
