Today in Flight Simulation News – August 30 2026

That’s why we have published our 67th 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.

The video won’t cover all the news from last week. If it did, it’d last an eternity, but it provides a hand-picked selection of releases and reveals to give you a good overview of what is going on. Incidentally, you can watch the 66th episode from the previous week if you so wish.

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

If you want even more flight simulation 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 67th 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.
