Carenado has given us a closer look at its upcoming Beechcraft 390 Premier IA for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The developer shared a new batch of teaser images showcasing the aircraft’s sleek exterior design, refined cockpit modelling, and the luxurious cabin expected of this light business jet.
The Premier IA was known in the real world for being one of the fastest single-pilot certified business jets of its time, capable of cruising at around Mach 0.8. Carenado looks set to capture that blend of performance and style, with visuals that continue the studio’s long-standing focus on high-fidelity modelling and detailed texturing.
The screenshots highlight the aircraft’s composite fuselage, distinctive swept wing, and elegant profile under a variety of lighting conditions. Inside, the cockpit features a fully modelled flight deck with clean panel lines and subtle wear effects, while the cabin sports plush leather seating and ambient lighting.
Although no technical specifications have been detailed yet, the developer has confirmed that the Premier IA will include its proprietary RealXperience package. This feature set enhances immersion through realistic camera vibrations, sound effects, and animated elements that respond dynamically during flight. It’s designed to bring the aircraft to life without the steep learning curve that typically accompanies study-level jets.
At this stage, Carenado hasn’t shared a release date or pricing details, and there’s no confirmation on the level of system depth or avionics simulation. The team did say that the B390 1A is on “final approach” for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
