Developer AKD Studio took to its social channels to announce that they plan to release their much-anticipated GLF650 for X-Plane 11/12 on October 25, 2024. Based on the popular G650 from American aircraft manufacturer, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation (but not directly called that by the developer due to legal reasons), the bizjet typically seats between 11 and 18 passengers in luxury accommodations and can fly an impressive 7,000 nautical miles (13,000 km) without refueling.
Over the past several months, we’ve seen previews of both the interior and exterior of the aircraft as well as the custom avionics included in the package. While a full feature list is not yet available, AKD Studio’s version of the GLF650 will likely share or build-upon many of the custom systems found in their current GLF550 bizjet, also for X-Plane 11/12.
In their announcement, AKD Studio also indicated that pricing for the GLF650 will be set at $44.95. Current owners of the AKD Studio GLF550 for X-Plane 11/12 will automatically receive a “20-25% discount” according to the post. We’ll keep you updated as more details emerge.
