If you’re new to Flight Simulation and don’t know about ChasePlane, watch the video above. ChasePlane is an award-winning virtual Camera system that allows you to experience virtual flight like never before in Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D. (not msfs 2020, read on!)

ChasePlane includes revolutionary features like an In-Sim View Selector, full camera control, including roll axis and zoom, Cinematic Mode, realistic turbulence, and much more.

HOWEVER…if you’re like what seems like 99.9% of the flight sim community, and will yell at their screen for any info on ChasePlane for MSFS, let’s start by addressing that officially first.

//42 has also provided MSobo engineers with a confidential document outlining exactly what would need to exist/change for ChasePlane to come to MSFS. This document was requested and provided in January of this year. To date, we’ve not heard anything back.
