54 air bases, 1 fighter jet: Testing the MSFS 2024 F/A-18 challenge pack

The weekly Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace update is here, and this time we are diving deep into a high-speed military activity expansion from Perfect Flight built to take your tactical pilot career to the next level in MSFS 2024.

Early community feedback is currently sitting at a mixed 3.2 out of 5 stars, making this heavy 48% discount a highly discussable topic. Whether you want to conquer precise military arrivals or test your stick-and-rudder handling on a rigorous cross-country tour, this package delivers a structured excuse to roar across the continent. To help you choose if it's worth your hard-earned marketplace credits, we are breaking down everything included in this virtual military academy:

First up, we are analyzing the landing deployment suite featuring 54 distinct US Air Force Base scenarios. Utilizing the default MSFS 2024 F/A-18 Super Hornet (no extra aircraft purchase required), these missions put your precision energy management to the test. Every deployment is driven by structured in-flight briefings, authentic approach data delivered straight to the cockpit, full check-lists, and clear voice-work validation upon successful arrival.

To push your reflexes further, group two throws you directly into adverse operational constraints. You will face intense crosswinds, drastically reduced visibility, and demanding night operations across the entire domestic base network. Plus, we talk hardware integration—diving into how high-fidelity hardware like the Moza Throttle paired with the AB6 panel changes the entire dynamic of controlling a supersonic jet on final.

In this video, we break down exactly what you get inside this activity package, evaluate the community feedback, and determine if this major discount makes it an absolute steal or a pass for your flight deck.
