Flight Simulation is doubtlessly one of the most active areas of the gaming industry, with new releases and reveals coming every day. Yet, not everyone has the time to keep track of all the news.

If you’re among those who don’t have the time to read flight simulation news articles every single day, don’t worry. We just published our 37th weekly video overview, including the major announcements and releases from the past week.

Of course, our videos are published in addition to our daily news coverage, which remains one of this site’s main staples. The videos are simply a handy weekly recap presented in a convenient format for those who prefer to consume their news this way.

No video would be able to include every single piece of news from last week unless we made it last several hours. Yet, we believe we have gathered a comprehensive selection of releases and reveals to give you a good bird’s eye view of what happened within the flight simulation industry. Incidentally, you can a lso watch the 36th 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.

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 19th 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.
