The D77-TC Pelican is free across all supported platforms in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 from Nov. 10 through Nov. 17 for Halo’s 25th anniversary. It will cost $9.99 USD in the in-sim Marketplace starting Nov. 18, according to the Microsoft Flight Simulator Team’s anniversary announcement.
In Halo lore, the Pelican is a military dropship for moving cargo and troops between orbit and a planet’s surface. The D77-TC has a typical crew of three and can carry up to 14 fully equipped infantry, with an external clamp for a vehicle.
In the simulator, its flight model switches between drone and jet propulsion. The aircraft also features Halo-inspired avionics, a complete interior with a cargo bay, and 12 liveries.
Which feature would you try first, the propulsion switch, the avionics or the cargo-bay interior? As the free offer gives way to a $9.99 Marketplace price on Nov. 18, stay connected on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram, Steam, and Telegram for more flight-sim developments.
