This Week in Flight Simulation News – June 7 to June 13, 2026

Flight simulation is, without a doubt, one of the most active industries in gaming. No day passes without news and reveals. Yet, not everyone has the time to keep track of all of them.

If you’re among those who can’t, don’t worry! We just published our 60th weekly video overview, including the major announcements and releases from the past week.

Of course, our videos are published on top of our daily news coverage, which isn’t going anywhere. They’re simply a handy weekly recap presented in a convenient format for those who prefer to consume their news this way.

No video shorter than an hour would be able to cover all the news from last week comprehensively. Yet, we believe this provides a handy selection of releases and reveals to give you a good overview of what is going on. Incidentally, you can watch the 59th episode from the previous week if you so wish.

This week, we covered major flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, MSFS 2020, and X-Plane 12. Of course, we will also cover other sims when they are featured in major news.

If you want even more news and more reveals, you can read our daily articles, which you’ll also find conveniently linked just below the video.

Without further ado, you can watch the 60th 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.
