Top Mach YF-23 Black Widow II release for FS2024

[DennyA]

The 2020 version has been out for a week or two, but the native 2024 SDK version of the YF-23 is now available on the MSFS Marketplace. (You get an entitlement to the 2020 version as well, for you bi-simuals.)

Only had about 10 minutes to jet around while eating lunch, but it's certainly pretty, and fun to fly. IMHO the most beautiful modern jet fighter design ever.

A very cool looking jet! I'd like to see other 'unsuccessful' designs make their way into FS24 like the F-16XL and F-20.

IRIS is launching a new "casual flier" series with a not-study-level FS20x0 update of their older F-22, and I'm hoping they follow up with an update to their F-20.

Yes, I enjoyed their F-20. I felt like Chuck Yeager demoing it, every time I flew it.

I'm hoping Top Mach will eventually come out with the production version of the YF-23, the F-23A. Just because it was even better looking than the YF-23. But even if they don't, this is awesome. I would love to see the updated F-20 as well, especially if they (Iris) released a version with the larger (More wing area) wing the fourth prototype and production variants would have had. But I'll settle for what they released before as it was just a blast to fly.

Have you seen official renderings of a proposed F-23A? If so, could you post a link to them...

Ohh, Maaan!

I saw Black Widow in the title & thought it going to be about DC P-61 Black Widow! Disappointed!

Although the YF-23 does look very nice, though!

This is my image. I don't mind if you re-post, but keep my name on it. I have the engineering drawings with cross sections for the production variant and the prototype and the naval variant, including the two seat versions of both. The War Zone also had a thrid party make some nice 3D model renderings of the production version.

This Is What A Northrop F-23A Would've Looked Like If It Had Beaten Lockheed's F-22

Many argue that the YF-23 should have been selected over the YF-22 and these exclusive renderings show what a production F-23 would have looked like.
