Flight Simulation developers shared news today, including airports and aircraft 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 flight simulation news.

Airbus A340-600 for MSFS by Aerosoft and Toliss Gets New Screenshots

Aerosoft released on its Discord server lots of new screenshots of the upcoming Airbus A340-600 in development in collaboration with Toliss.

The company also teased that the upcoming week is going to be “very exciting for everyone” who is waiting for the aircraft’s release. This will include the reveal of a lot of new information.

At the moment, the relase date has not been revealed just yet, and we don’t know whether it’ll be included in the information that it’ll come next week. We’ll have to wait and see.

Beechcraft King Air 200 Announced for MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020

Carenado announced the Beechcraft King Air 200, renamed “KA B200” for the usual licensing reasons.

The aircraft is said to be “coming soon,” and this time around, we hear from the start that it’ll be for both MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020, unlike previous aircraft that were announced and released initially only for the newer simulator and then released for the older sim a few weeks later.

Appleton International Airport Announced for Microsoft Flight Simulator

MM Simulation announced its first airport in the United States, and it’s Appleton International Airport (KATW) in Wisconsin.

For the moment, this is all we know about the project, besides a few screenshots, which you can enjoy above.
