In its most recent developer stream, Microsoft has announced that Microsoft Flight Simulator will be getting the now-destroyed world’s biggest plane—the Antonov An-255 “Mirya”.

The plane, destroyed in early 2022, flew on its final mission in Februray 2022, carrying 90 tons of Covid-19 test kits from China to Denmark. The plane was destroyed by a Russian attack on the Antonov Airport in Hostomel, where the plane was stationed. It was originally built in 1985, and went into service in 2001.

The Antonov An-255 “Mirya” will be available in Microsoft Flight Simulator as part of a licensing deal between Microsoft, Antonov, and IniBuilds. To help ensure accuracy, An-255 captain Dmytro Antonov will also be part of the development.

The plane will be coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator on Februray 27 as part of the one-year anniversary of its destruction. It will be priced at $20, with proceeds going to Antonov and Ukraine.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
