Flight Simulation developers shared news today, including aircraft and airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, MSFS 2020, and X-Plane.
Incidentally, we also just released the 46th episode of our “This Week in Flight Simulation News” video series, recapping the biggest news from the past seven days. Check it out to make sure you did not miss anything.
Without further ado, I leave you with the flight simulation news.
Osaka Itami Airport Announced for X-Plane
Darkblue Scenery Studio teased a new airport, and it’s another relevant one in Japan. While the developer did not explicitly name the airport, it’s Osaka Itami, ICAO code RJOO.

Being 757 for Microsoft Flight Simulator Gets a New Screenshot as VNAV is Completed
Blue Simulations released a new screenshot of its upcoming Boeing 757 on Instagram.
Interestingly, it’s running on the Sim Update 5 beta of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Perhaps even more exciting is the announcement that VNAV is complete.
This is quite relevant considering that it’s usually the most difficult part of an airliner to develop, so its completion is quite the milestone.
