Table of Content

Two long-running franchises are crossing paths as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 introduces a Stranger Things expansion. The add-on sends players into a tense version of Hawkins, Indiana, where the town is under lockdown and patrolled streets hint at larger threats. Missions are guided by Murray Bauman from the show’s original cast. Players will fly a Bell UH-1H Huey through story-driven scenarios and can explore a highly detailed recreation of Hawkins after completing the campaign. The expansion is available December 9.

What the expansion includes

The package blends flight-sim authenticity with the series’ small-town horror, focusing on helicopter operations and tight, low-altitude flying. The mission set aims for escalating tension without revealing narrative specifics.

• Five missions centered on Hawkins – including covert supply runs, high-risk chases, and rescue operations.
• Primary aircraft: Bell UH-1H Huey – used throughout the scenario lineup.
• Mission lead: Murray Bauman – the character steers players through objectives with in-universe guidance.

Hawkins recreated for free flight

Beyond the story content, the add-on delivers a stand-alone environment built for exploration. The town has been reconstructed with attention to recognizable landmarks from the series.

• More than 40 iconic locations to discover across Hawkins.
• Highlighted sites include Starcourt Mall, Hawkins Middle School, Hawkins National Laboratory, and the Hawkins Junkyard.
