Flight simulation is basically the most active industry in gaming, with basically no day without relevant reveals. Yet, not everyone has the time to keep track of everything that happens.

That’s why we have published our 15th 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 14th 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 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 15th 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:

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is available for PC and Xbox Series X|S.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is also available for the same platforms. If you want to see the massive visual difference against Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, you can enjoy our video and screenshot comparison.

X-Plane 12 is currently available for PC and mobile platforms.

DCS World is available only on PC and it’s free to play, albeit the purchase of additional models is pretty much required to enjoy it.
