**Update** Orbx has since confirmed that Paul Bennet’s Wolf Pitts will be made compatible with MSFS2024. Orbx has also been cautioned that while they expect that it can be ported smoothly, the update may take some time post-release.
Paul Bennet requires no introduction to airshow and aerobatics enthusiasts. For the uninitiated, he is an Australian aerobatic pilot who puts on a well-known international airshow, flying (among other aircraft) the Wolf Pitts Pro. This 400-horsepower, 1200-pound biplane has a roll rate of 350 degrees per second thanks to its wing design, making it a true force to be reckoned with.
Orbx has made this legendary plane available complete with a faithful visual model including flight sequence notes, a realistic flight model that allows for all of Paul Bennet’s maneuvers, proper stall characteristics, and more. The flight model and sounds were developed using the real Wolf Pitts Pro alongside Paul Bennet himself, so you know you’re getting the real deal.






Alongside the development of the Wolf Pitts Pro, Orbx has also released Maitland Airport (YMND), which is a small GA hub home to Paul Bennet and where he regularly flies the Wolf Pitts Pro. Like all Orbx airports, you can expect a fully custom 3D airport with detailed ground markings, taxiways, etc. Additionally, there are custom animated hangars including Paul Bennet’s hangar which makes for a great home for the Wolf Pitts Pro.






If you’re interested in trying some of Bennet’s maneuvers for yourself, you can pick up a copy of the Wolf Pitts Pro on the Orbx marketplace for $28 AUD ($18.50 USD, €17.13, or £14.27). If you only want a copy of Maitland Airport, you can purchase it separately for $14.99 AUD ($9.90 USD, €9.17, or £7.64). Finally, you can get the bundle pack and save 25% if you wish to get both.
