Quasar

Bigger, Faster, Higher

Released 2025-11-24
FS2020 native FS2024 fully compatible

The Quasar is a fictional aircraft. Lord Frites came up with the idea in December 2023, and it began to take shape in his mind.

Fifteen months and a great deal of work were needed to transform the idea into a clearly defined concept. A few more months and more help than ever before were then required to transition from the final drawings and 3D models to a finished aircraft that flies exceptionally well in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024.

The Quasar pushes the boundaries of these simulated worlds to their limits and introduces unique gameplay mechanics.
The Flying Fries team is extremely proud of this aircraft — our most ambitious and complex project to date:

Fly to the edge of space, reach Mach 7.8 (approximately 5,000 knots ground speed), and manage your fuel burn and fuel production rates to reach any destination thousands of miles away.

 Then, head west and race the sun. Overtake our star, carefully manage your descent, and finally land at high speed on a runway that will be barely long enough to bring this heavy spacecraft to a complete stop.

You can also choose to transport rare and precious cargo from one location to another using the easy-to-use integrated mission generator.

With almost 3,000 registered airports and 100 cargo types, you will face endless challenges and have countless opportunities to witness the beauty of this virtual rendition of Earth.
