MSFS Beast Horus (Microjet)

Beast Horus is a high-performance microjet for Microsoft Flight Simulator, modeled as a real-world aircraft in development with Formula One–inspired aerodynamics, a carbon monocoque airframe, and aerobatic handling. A detailed virtual cockpit and modern avionics come alive via the Garmin-style PFD and requires Working Title G3X.

Expert Overview

The Beast Horus Microjet presents a remarkable blend of advanced aerodynamics and real-world ambition, offering a glimpse into a genuine aircraft prototype still in development. After testing it firsthand in Microsoft Flight Simulator, I’ve found its carbon monocoque structure and F1-inspired engineering enhance every maneuver, from smooth economic cruising around 230 knots to tight aerobatic turns at its 380kg MTOW.

Its integration with the Working Title G3X avionics gives the cockpit an authentic edge, while subtle details—like the refined canopy handle and evolving light intensity switches—showcase ongoing refinement. This agile microjet bridges the gap between simulation and reality, making it an exciting choice for those wanting an innovative flight experience that feels grounded in real-world progress and future ambitions.

In the realm of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, the Beast Horus Microjet stands as a paragon of innovation and aerodynamic design. Developed by a team of proficient individuals, this freeware mod brings an unrivaled experience to flight simulation enthusiasts.

Notably, the Beast Horus is not just a virtual concept; it's a precursor to an actual aircraft currently under development, blurring the lines between simulation and reality.

  • Advanced Aerodynamics: Inspired by state-of-the-art Formula One technology, the Beast Horus boasts a carbon monocoque construction, enhancing its structural integrity and flight dynamics.
  • Impressive Performance Specs: With a Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) of 380kg and aerobatic capabilities, the microjet is both nimble and powerful, offering an economic cruising speed of 230 knots and a stall speed of merely 52 knots.
  • Realistic Avionics: The integration with the Working Title G3X enhances the Primary Flight Display (PFD), offering a more immersive and accurate flight experience.

Technical Details

The developers have meticulously crafted the Beast Horus, focusing on authenticity. Notably, users need to download the Working Title G3X to leverage the full potential of the Garmin G3X PFD screen, a testament to the mod's adherence to realism. However, certain limitations exist, such as the inactive engine switch, inverted WigWag switch, and the canopy latch's unique operation.

These elements reflect the ongoing development and refinement of this exceptional aircraft.

Recent Updates

  • Canopy Handle Improvement: Enhanced realism with a click-and-drag mechanism for canopy operation.
  • Light Intensity Switch Update: This now accurately adjusts the taxi light's intensity, with plans to extend this functionality to the landing light in forthcoming updates.

Real-World Project Insights

The Beast Horus microjet, more than just a flight sim mod, is a window into an ambitious aviation project. With substantial funding acquired, the real-world prototype's development is rapidly progressing, including the fuselage construction and plans for a maiden flight in 2025.

This flight sim mod not only serves as a promotional tool but also as a precursor to a study-level, realistic version intended to support the project financially.

How to install this mod

MSFS add-on
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

    All MSFS add-ons live in the Community folder. Microsoft Store / Game Pass version: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\. Steam version: %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\. Tip: enable Developer Mode in MSFS to see your exact Community folder path.
  3. Copy the package into Community

    Drag the extracted folder into your Community folder. Most MSFS add-ons follow this pattern.
  4. Restart MSFS

    Close MSFS completely and relaunch. The new content appears in the Content Manager, on the World Map, or in the aircraft/livery selector.
  5. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.

    I like this little jet, but I wish that the NAV frequency could be changed. It is apparently not implemented.

    Having a working autopilot would make this a great plane that I would fly often.

    Also, it would help if you could hide the joystick so that some of the switches are easier to reach.
