This Week in Flight Simulation News - September 29 to October 5, 2025

Flight simulation news basically never stops, and there is no day without relevant reveals and reveals. Yet, not everyone has the time to keep track of them all.

Today in Flight Simulation News – December 5, 2025

That’s why we have published our 24th 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 be two hours long, but it provides a handy selection of releases and reveals, painting a fairly complete snapshot of the comings and goings of the industry. Incidentally, you can watch the 23rd episode from the previous week if you so wish.

This week, we covered major flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, MSFS 2020, and X-Plane 12. 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 coverage, which you’ll also find conveniently linked just below the video.

Without further ado, you can watch the 24th 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.
