Today Dovetail Games announced that it is working with a number of third-party developers and publishers to continue bringing a wide variety of engaging content to Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition. These new additions will arrive as a combination of brand-new content, such as the mission packs created by Jane Whittaker, and the best existing content available for previous iterations of the game.
Most recently, Dovetail has cemented partnerships with Just Flight, Carenado, Alabeo, Aerosoft, Wilco Publishing, REX, IRIS Flight Simulation Software, SIM720 Limited, A2A Simulations and FSAddon Publishing.
“We’ve been humbled and gratified to see so many of the key names in the FSX developer community embrace our entry into the market with FSX: Steam Edition and agree to work with us in providing their catalogue of products to our shared consumers through Steam,” said Nicholas Rooke, Head of Third Party at Dovetail Games. “We have plans in place to be able to really ramp the content portfolio in the coming weeks and months, which includes the release of original content as well as existing offerings. It’s an exciting time for the whole flight simulation community, and we’re keen to work with both developers and consumers to ensure we bring the best possible mix of content to market.”
“It is fantastic news for the flight sim community that FSX is now available to the Steam community, too. That is over 100 million potential flight simmers!” said Andy Payne, CEO of Just Flight. “Dovetail has built an excellent train sim community, and, as a developer and publisher of flight sim content, we look forward to working with them.”
Reed Stough, Managing Partner of REX Games Studios, added, “The team at REX Game Studios is extremely honored to be partnering with Dovetail Games to provide the highest quality third-party environmental content for Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition. REX Game Studios considers it a privilege to share in this partnership with Dovetail in taking flight simulation to the next level.”
