NextGen Simulations' EMB-110 Bandeirante V2 Cleared for MSFS 2024 Release
 | Wed, June 3, 2026 at 8:29 PM |
NextGen Simulations has shared its June 2026 development update, and the headline is a big one for turboprop fans: the EMB-110 Bandeirante V2 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is ready for release.
The long-awaited update from Carlos Daniel Gonz lez G mez, CEO, Founder, and Lead Developer of NextGen Simulations, confirms that the aircraft has completed a demanding internal testing and validation process. According to the developer, the release timeline was extended while the team worked through a number of critical bugs across multiple areas of the product.
In other words, the Bandeirante spent a little extra time in the virtual hangar getting its final checks, rivets, and gremlins sorted before being pushed out to the ramp.
A New Bandeirante for MSFS 2024
The EMB-110 Bandeirante V2 is built for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and represents a major step forward from the original MSFS 2020 version. NextGen Simulations says the new version includes upgraded modeling, improved textures, enhanced systems, a redesigned experience for MSFS 2024, and a newly remastered soundscape.
One of the major points in the update is the aircraft's audio. The developer thanked the community for its feedback on the original MSFS 2020 sound package, noting that much of the motivation behind the updated V2 soundscape came directly from user reviews and comments.
That feedback appears to have paid off. The new sound environment has received positive community response, and NextGen says it may assess whether the improved soundscape can be backported into the MSFS 2020 version in a future update.
Pricing and Upgrade Path
NextGen Simulations also confirmed pricing for the EMB-110 Bandeirante V2.
For new customers, the aircraft will be priced at:
$34.99 / €34.99
Existing owners of the MSFS 2020 version will receive a discounted upgrade price of:
$13.99 / €13.99
These prices are listed before VAT.
That upgrade path should be welcome news for current Bandeirante owners who have been waiting to bring the aircraft properly into the MSFS 2024 era.
Release Plans
The EMB-110 Bandeirante V2 is expected to arrive on the in-game Marketplace in mid-June 2026, assuming all final checks and validation steps are completed successfully.
The initial release will be for PC and Xbox Marketplace users. A PlayStation 5 release is not possible yet and remains on hold until further notice.
NextGen also noted that release through third-party stores is expected to follow within the next couple of months.
Documentation, Repaints, and Tutorials
Some supporting materials are still in progress. The product documentation, repaint kit, and YouTube tutorials are all currently being worked on.
That means simmers may see the aircraft arrive first, with additional resources following as the rollout continues.
Saab Development Resumes
The June update also touches on NextGen's Saab projects. With work on the EMB-110 V2 now reaching the release stage, development on the Saab aircraft is set to resume.
NextGen says the renewed focus will prioritize Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, citing results from Navigraph's Flight Sim Community Survey, where MSFS 2024 has overtaken MSFS 2020 as the dominant flight simulation platform.
That is an important signal for where the developer is pointing its nose next: toward the new sim platform and the next generation of aircraft development.
Final Approach
For fans of classic regional turboprops, the EMB-110 Bandeirante V2 looks to be one of the more interesting MSFS 2024 aircraft releases to watch this month. With upgraded sounds, MSFS 2024-focused development, Marketplace support, and an upgrade discount for existing owners, NextGen Simulations appears ready to send the Bandeirante back into the virtual skies.
