Just Flight has released a major update for their Fokker 70/100 Professional for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024.
Version 1.2 brings several major additions and improvements, including support for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024’s latest weather radar features, including tilt and gain controls. The update also introduces state-saving functionality, allowing most cockpit, avionics and systems configurations to be restored when reloading a flight. Users can now view their active flight plan route in the Navigraph Enroute Charts app and make use of a new ground-conditioned air option via the EFB without needing to run the APU.
Autoflight and navigation systems have received extensive refinements, improving aircraft handling, altitude capture performance, waypoint sequencing and flight management functionality. Numerous visual and display enhancements have also been made across the PFD and ND.
The aircraft’s visual model has been further refined with improved flap and wing flex animations, enhanced lighting effects, higher-resolution cockpit textures, and several fixes to cockpit and exterior animations. The Operations Manual and EFB Manual have also been updated to reflect the latest changes.
The full changelog can be found below.
You can download the new version 1.2 update from your Just Flight account now. If you do not yet own the F70/F100 Professional, you can purchase the bundle from the Just Flight website for £59.99.

- Fixed missing 3nm TCAS range ring on ND MAP (15B range)
- Fixed FWD DOOR status messages on the RH MFDU being linked to all doors
- Fixed XPNDR 2 permanently displaying a “TCAS OFF” message on the PFD
- Fixed missing “—” V1/V2 on PFD prior to takeoff speed being set

Improved:
- Added support for the latest MSFS 2024 weather radar features, including tilt and gain (MSFS 2024 only)
- Added Weather Radar Test pattern to ND
- Added extended runway centreline to ND if a runway is selected with no procedure
- Added computational lag and “FMS RANGE DISAGREE” warning to ND when changing pages and ranges
- Improved numerous visual items on the PFD and ND
- Improved VDEV indication when +2000/-2000 from the path
Electronic flight bag (EFB)
Fixed:
- Fixed EFB landing VFTO calculation
- Fixed jetway EXT PWR remains available if pushback is initiated with the jetway still attached
Improved:
- Added active flight plan route to Navigraph Enroute Charts app

- Added comprehensive State Saving functionality, restoring the majority of cockpit, avionics and systems configuration when reloading a flight.
- Added THROTTLE POSITION option to the EFB to toggle throttle axis position visibility on the LH MFDU engine indications
- Improved SYNC ALTIMETERS logic – now only synchronises the Captain’s and First Officer’s main altimeters (standby altimeter is no longer affected by sync logic)
Aircraft systems
