Grumman A-6E Intruder for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Any Weather, Any Night, Any Target - All-weather carrier attack by DeimoS Inc., available on the official Marketplace for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5.

When the weather closed in and the night was darkest, the Intruder went in. Built for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps as an all-weather, day and night attack aircraft, the A-6 flew low and fast through terrain and storms to strike targets no other aircraft could reach. From Vietnam to the Gulf War it earned a reputation for toughness and precision, serving on the front line for more than thirty years until it handed over to the F/A-18 Hornet.

Two Pratt & Whitney J52 turbojets, 9,300 lbf each, carry this big twin-seat bomber at up to 560 knots and on missions of hundreds of miles on 2,385 gallons of internal fuel. Pilot and bombardier/navigator sit side by side, surrounded by the radar scopes and the vertical display that made the Intruder famous.

Our A-6 is fully native to MSFS 2024 and recreated down to the smallest detail, inside and out. Walk around the aircraft, pull the covers, power up the cockpit, unfold the wings once the engines are running and launch from a carrier deck or a runway: low-level strikes, night navigation, carrier traps or a long cross-country on autopilot. Every switch you need does what it should, and every control has a tooltip that tells you what it does.
