Asobo expects Aerosoft CRJ to drop before holidays this Year
Aerosoft is currently working hard to bring a Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet – CRJ – to Microsoft Flight Simulator. So far, Project Manager Mathijs Kok at Aerosoft shared several insights and information regarding development process. Last month, Kok said: “The moment Asobo delivers the bits we need we can complete the project pretty fast. This year is very possible if the conditions are correct.” – in their latest dev update, Asobo showed to be “increasingly hopeful” that Aerosoft will be able to launch the CRJ before holiday this year.
