Northrop F-5E Tiger II for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
Small, Fast, Legendary - Light tactical fighter by DeimoS Inc., available on the official Marketplace for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5.
Few fighters have flown in as many air forces, or taught as many pilots how to win a dogfight, as the F-5. Light, agile and brutally simple, the Tiger II became the Cold War's most successful export fighter and is still the aggressor that trains today's top pilots, standing in for enemy jets at the world's fighter weapons schools.
Two General Electric J85 afterburning turbojets give this compact airframe outstanding acceleration and a thrilling climb rate, with a top speed of Mach 1.6. In the air it is pure fighter: crisp roll response, precise handling and the feeling of a machine built to turn.
Our F-5 is fully native to MSFS 2024 and recreated down to the smallest detail, inside and out. Climb the ladder, pull the covers, power up the cockpit, light the burners and take the Tiger anywhere in the world: intercepts, low-level runs, carrier traps or a relaxed cross-country on autopilot. Every switch you need does what it should, and every control has a tooltip that tells you what it does.
