Flight Simulation developers shared news today, including airports and aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and X-Plane 12.
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.
Incidentally, we just published the 48th episode of our “This Week in Flight Simulation News”, including the biggest stories from the past seven days, many of which from FSWeekend.
Without further ado, I leave you with the flight simulation news.
