Table of Content
Two pop-culture pillars intersect in a new crossover for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The official Stranger Things expansion arrives on December 9, bringing a set of story missions set in Hawkins, Indiana. Players take the controls of a Bell UH-1H Huey to navigate a town under lockdown, facing patrols and supernatural threats. The experience is framed by Murray Bauman from the show’s original cast.
What the expansion includes
The add-on centers on focused scenarios rather than open-ended routes. It mixes narrative beats with helicopter piloting and situational challenges across the Hawkins airspace.
- Five missions that range from shady supply runs to close-call chases and high-stakes rescues.
- Pilot the Bell UH-1H Huey, a utility helicopter suited to low-altitude, rapid-response tasks.
- Story framing led by Murray Bauman and his team, tying flight objectives to the Stranger Things setting.
- Set against a Hawkins under heavy patrols with looming anomalies.
Explore Hawkins beyond the missions
After completing the scenarios, the expansion opens up a detailed recreation of Hawkins for free-flight exploration. The map features more than 40 locations tied to the series, modeled for aerial sightseeing and low-hover inspection.
Notable locations included
- Starcourt Mall
- Hawkins Middle School
- Hawkins National Laboratory
- Hawkins Junkyard
