Dirty 30 ADV for MSFS2024 (alpha release)

Dirty 30 ADV for MSFS2024 (alpha release)

Iconic airlifter – limited alpha

Meet the legend. Affectionately nicknamed the Dirty Thirty, this tried-and-true workhorse has spent over 60 years hauling cargo and troops across the world. Now it’s ready for its next mission—in MSFS2024.

We’ve brought you not one, but two iconic variants:

  1. The 30 Long with its stretched fuselage.
  2. The 30 Short, the classic silhouette you know and love.

Both come fully equipped with modern FADEC turbines, sleek six-bladed scimitar props, a fully featured glass cockpit, and a highly flexible, mission-ready cargo bay.

Special early access pricing for a limited time only.

Dirty 30 – ADVANCED SERIES

RAISING THE BAR

Say hello to the most advanced simulation of this aircraft ever created.

The Dirty 30 ADV sets a whole new benchmark for complexity and realism in MSFS2024. Every switch, dial, and knob works exactly as it should. This isn’t just a plane. It’s a passion project, built by a team obsessed with getting it just right.

BUILT ON MILITARY-GRADE ACCURACY

This isn’t just a flight sim aircraft—it’s built on tech we’ve delivered to real-world military clients, including the USAF and SOCOM.

And we didn’t stop there: With the input of seasoned Dirty 30 pilots, we’ve pushed for next-level accuracy in everything: Flight dynamics. Systems logic. Avionics. Performance.

If you’re looking for a serious simulation that will deliver thrills, this is it.

LOAD IT UP

Cargo options? We’ve got plenty.

Whether you're transporting pallets, containers, or even a Stryker, our custom EFB makes it all fast and easy. Configure your mission, load up, and roll out.

A WORD FROM BLACKBIRD SIMULATIONS

We’ve poured our hearts into our Block 6.5 Dirty 30 ADV. It’s been a journey through dozens of manuals, field reports, site visits, and system diagrams—but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We built this for enthusiastic flight-simmers who want more. More systems. More realism. More to explore.

We can’t wait to see what you do with it.

And the best part? As this is an Alpha release, more features and updates will come to this aircraft as time goes on, as we keep pushing & finding more ways to make this the best simulation it can be.

LIMITED ALPHA RELEASE – WHAT TO EXPECT

The current version is 96% feature complete (see red list below), with regular updates planned in the lead-up to the full release.

At this point, it’s not perfect, and yes, we are asking you, fellow pilots and avgeeks, to test it for us. That, together with the current economic climate, is why we have set an initial low price of $24.99

Note: As the list gets smaller, the price will get bigger:

  • Alpha: $24.99
  • Beta : TBD
  • Final Release: TBD
