This Week in Flight Simulation News - June 30 to July 6, 2025

Flight simulation is one of the most active fields of the gaming industry, with relevant news and releases coming out basically every day. Yet, not everyone has the time to keep track.

That’s why we have published our eleventh weekly video overview, including the major announcements and releases from the past week

Of course, this video comes in addition to our daily news coverage, which isn’t going anywhere. It’s a handy weekly recap presented in a compact and convenient format for those who prefer to consume their news this way.

It won’t cover absolutely everything that happened last week, but it aims to be a comprehensive selection of releases and reveals that will provide you with a fairly complete bird’s eye view of the industry. Incidentally, you can watch the tenth episode from last 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 on top of the Falcon 4.0 mod Falcon BMS

If you want even more news and more reveals, you can check out our daily coverage, which you’ll also find conveniently linked below the video.

Without further ado, you can watch the eleventh 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.

Here’s a list of all of our flight simulation news for the week:

You may notice that this week the list is shorter than usual. Unfortunately, a software issue surfaced on July 4 and prevented us from creating any new articles on the site for the whole weekend until our web team was able to fix it. Luckily, we’re now back in business, and you can expect our usual coverage to resume starting now.
