Just a few weeks after the release of its free World Update IV, Microsoft Flight Simulator has yet another compelling reason for aviation fans to jump into its expansive and detailed world. Today, Microsoft Flight Simulator is releasing its first-ever ultralight classification plane. The Top Rudder Solo 103 is the first ultralight plane to be developed specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator, and brings a whole new feeling to the massive flight simulator.

There's also a beautiful new release trailer to accompany the plane launch.

The Top Rudder Solo 103 is truly one-of-a-kind, being a single-seat aircraft with an open cockpit, a weight of fewer than 254 pounds, and a top speed of 63 mph. It looks to be a fantastic addition to the extensive roster in Microsoft Flight Simulator, especially for casual recreational flights through various breathtaking vistas and landscapes. If you're interested in the Solo 103, it's now available through the Microsoft Flight Simulator marketplace for $10.

Unfortunately, today's release doesn't include any new tidbits of information for Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox, which still comes with a vague "Summer 2021" release window. Either way, Microsoft Flight Simulator is already one of the best games on PC, and the addition of this new ultralight plane makes it even better.
