The new add-on is the MV-22B Osprey military tilt-rotor aircraft, basically a hybrid between a plane and a helicopter.
It’s available on Orbx Direct for $32.64 and it comes with full tilt-rotor operation and the ability to show wings and rotors to park on an aircraft carrier’s deck.
Here’s what you get with the package, on top of 8 different liveries.
