Flight Simulation developers shared news today, focusing on aircraft and a free airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020.
Simulation Daily publishes a roundup every day for all the news across the flight simulation field, helping you keep up to date with the ins and outs of the industry.
Without further ado, I leave you with the news.
Cessna Caravan Professional for MSFS by Black Square Gets New Screenshots, Hopefully Coming in March
Just Flight revealed a handful of screenshots of the upcoming Cessna Caravan by acclaimed study-level developer Black Square, which will “hopefully” release in March.
The product page will be opened this week, so we can expect many more images and details, with videos coming in due time.
Accu-Sim Lancair Legacy RG-550 Announced for MSFS 2024
Speaking of Study-level, A2A Simulations announced the Lancair Legacy RG-550, which will be the next aircraft of the AccuSim 2.0 series for MSFS.
It’s based on a real aircraft owned and flown by A2A Simulation founder Scott Gentile for a number of years, and it’ll include the following features.
- Fully custom flight physics
- Completely bespoke sound design
- Persistent wear and ownership modelling
- Multiple avionics configurations including fully custom Garmin G5 simulation that we also expect to be retrofitted to the Comanche and Aerostar
- Laserscanned and Photogrammetry assisted 3d modelling
- Deep electrical and systems simulation
- A highly detailed engine simulation model, down to individual spark events during combustion
The release window is Q2, 2026. For now it’s confirmed for MSFS 2024, but the developers mentioned that the possibility of an MSFS 2020 port exists.
Stölln/Rhinow Airfield Released for Free for MSFS 2024

Not only is it considered the oldest airfield in the world, but it also features the historical Ilyushin Il-62 nicknamed “Lady Agnes” donated by the fiormer East German airline Interflug.
Even sweeter is the fact that it’s free and can be downloaded from Flightsim.to for MSFS 2024 only.
