X-Plane fans have a new long-haul bird to keep an eye on.
FlightFactor has officially teased its upcoming Boeing 777-300ER for X-Plane 12, giving the community an early look at what could become one of the platform’s most anticipated airliner releases. The teaser, shared across social media and picked up by flight sim outlets on March 26 and 27, 2026, included several preview images and a simple message that says plenty without saying much at all: “Soon™.”
While the developer has not announced an official release date, pricing, or a full feature breakdown, the new screenshots were enough to get the X-Plane community buzzing. The aircraft shown is the 777-300ER, one of Boeing’s most recognizable long-haul workhorses and a favorite among virtual airline pilots who enjoy big routes, big payloads, and big cockpit energy.
What makes this teaser especially interesting is that FlightFactor’s 777 line has already been evolving in X-Plane 12, with the 777-200ER V2 and freighter developments helping lay the groundwork for the family. According to coverage from FSElite, the upcoming 777-300ER will be offered as an upgrade for current owners of the 777-200ER V2, which is welcome news for simmers already invested in the product line.
At this stage, the teaser is more appetizer than full meal, but it is still a strong signal that FlightFactor is moving the project closer to the runway. And in flight sim terms, sometimes a few good screenshots and a “Soon™” are enough to send the hype train, or perhaps the hype widebody, rolling down the taxiway. 🛫
For X-Plane 12 users, this is one to watch closely. The 777-300ER fills a major space in the long-haul market and has the potential to become a go-to aircraft for sim pilots looking to recreate real-world international operations.
We’ll keep an eye out for more details as FlightFactor reveals them.
