Few areas of the gaming industry are as active as flight simulation, with new releases and reveals happening non-stop every day. Yet, not everyone has the time to keep track of all the news.

If you’re among those who aren’t able to, don’t worry. We just published our 19th 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 a staple of the site. 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 shorter than multiple hours would be able to include every single piece of news from last week. Yet, we believe we have gathered a handy selection of releases and reveals to give you a good overview of what happened within the flight simulation industry. Incidentally, you can also watch the 18th 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, on top of the upcoming Korea: IL-2 Series.

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.

Here’s a list of all of our flight simulation news and articles 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.
