The F-22A is a single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft developed exclusively for the United States Air Force. Known world-wide for its unique shape, remarkable maneuvering and supercruise capabilities, and its dominance of adversary aircraft, the F-22A is the world’s most capable fifth generation fighter jet.
Four years ago, Top Mach Studios released the F-22 for MSFS 2020. Almost a year went into re-developing the F-22 for MSFS2024 and in doing so we’ve once again pushed the limits of what’s possible in the sim. We've revised or replaced almost every component of our original F-22 and proudly present a truly new aircraft simulation that you’ll find to be an absolute thrill and a true joy to fly. We hope you’ll have at least as much fun flying the Raptor as much as we’ve had making it! We can say again with certainty that nothing available for MSFS flies like this F-22. We’re confident it will provide sim pilots of all abilities a variety of piloting challenges for many hours of entertainment and enjoyment.
Features and capabilities
Much about the F-22A is still classified; even basic details about the cockpit, instrumentation and displays are classified. We’ve done our best, utilizing publicly available data and statements by pilots, engineers, and maintainers to replicate what we know about the F-22A. However, we’ve rendered a highly capable and realistic feeling F-22A on the basis of the information available.
