Hello Captain,
We know camera control in Microsoft Flight Simulator can be limiting, so we built ChasePlane™, the ultimate camera system for MSFS. It's been a long road, and we appreciate your patience, because getting this right is super important on a complex product like this. Your feedback on pre-launch videos and the extra time we took allowed us to fine-tune the experience, polish features, and, most importantly, refine onboarding!
ChasePlane is a powerful tool, and we wanted to ensure that you're set up for success from the moment you install it. So we put a huge effort into onboarding to ensure you don't just get a great product; you get an intuitive experience that is easy to set up and unlocks the simulator's full potential.
ChasePlane will debut on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. As Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 evolves, we will continue developing ChasePlane for it at a reasonable pace. Once the 2024 version of ChasePlane is ready, it will be made available for free to current owners of the 2020 version for a limited time after release.
Now, it's time to talk details: pricing & release date.
