This Week in Flight Simulation News - June 9 to June 15, 2025

The flight simulation industry basically never stops, featuring news and reveals every day. Yet, not everyone has the time to keep up, so here’s our eighth weekly video overview, including the major announcements and releases from the past week.

Of course, this video is in addition to our daily news coverage, which isn’t going anywhere. You can consider it a recap presented weekly in a compact and fun format for those who prefer to consume their news this way.

It won’t cover every piece of news from the week, but it aims to be a comprehensive selection of releases and reveals that will provide you with a fairly complete view of what’s going on in the industry. Incidentally, you can watch the seventh episode from last week if you so wish.

This week, we covered major flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, MSFS 2020, X-Plane (11 and 12), and DCS World, but you may see other sims covered in the future if something big happens related to them.

If you want even more details and more reveals, you can, of course, check out our daily news, which we’ll also conveniently linked for you below the video.

Without further ado, you can watch the seventh episode below. Of course, we’d appreciate it if you could like the video and subscribe to our growing YouTube channel, as that’s always extremely helpful and appreciated.
