Fly the iconic Halo vehicle today in MSFS 2024 – free for a limited time!
To commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Halo, the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 team invites simmers to experience the D77-TC Pelican, an iconic aerospace vehicle originating in the Halo™ universe. It is a combat dropship, able to carry cargo and troops from orbit to a planet’s surface, then back again. It is a highly adaptable, multi-role vehicle that forms the backbone of United Nations Space Command (UNSC) transport squadrons in the 26th century.
Designed and built by Misriah Armory, the D77 Pelican has a typical crew of three (pilot, copilot, and crew chief) and can carry up to 14 fully outfitted infantry and their equipment. A vehicle can be carried in the external hardpoint clamp for immediate deployment. It has a lifting body design powered by four high-efficiency fusion thrusters with secondary positional / stability augmenters. The wings have three hardpoints each, which can hold sensors, cargo pods, or weapons.
The D77 has a full post-Covenant War avionics modernization kit and engine overhaul but has the performance throttling typical of civilian models and UNSC military trainers. With remote authorization these limitations can be removed.
The D77-TC Pelican in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 offers:
- A unique flight model, with the ability to switch between drone and jet propulsion.
- Custom avionics, inspired by the Halo games.
- Complete interior model, including cargo bay.
- 12 liveries.
To celebrate this important milestone in the Halo franchise, the Halo Pelican in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will be available on all platforms to download for free for one week only. Fly the Halo Pelican for free from November 10th until November 17th. Starting November 18th, anyone who wants to continue to fly the Pelican will need to purchase it for just $9.99 USD in the MSFS in-sim marketplace. The sky is calling!
