Local Legend 12: The Dornier Do X
The MSFS team also announced the addition of the Dornier Do X, the largest, heaviest, and most powerful hydroplane ever to take to the sky. This iconic flugschiff (flying ship) is now available for simmers to fly throughout the globe.
Designed by German aircraft designer Claudius Dornier, the Do X was a pinnacle of German innovation and engineering. With an overall length of 131 feet, 5 inches, and a wingspan of 156 feet, 10 inches, the Do X was powered by 12 roaring, 610-horsepower V-12 piston engines.
The aircraft’s design consists of three internal decks, including seating for up to 100 people, a lounge with a bar, a dining room, and more. During its operational tenure, the Dornier Do X drew crowds wherever it went, most notably during a journey from Europe to the United States via Africa and South America.
Meticulously created using data from historical sources, the Dornier Do X performs remarkably well for its size and comes with three liveries: Historic, Aviators Club, and Xbox Aviators Club. It is available for purchase in the MSFS Marketplace for USD $14.99.
