Today, we also published the 51st episode of our video series “This Week in Flight Simulation News,” to keep you up to date in case you missed any big news in the past seven days.
Cessna Citation Sovereign+ for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and MSFS 2024 is in “Final Approach”
Skyward Simulations released on Discord a new gallery of screenshots of the upcoming Cessna Citation 680 Sovereign+.
The developer also announced that the aircraft is now “in final approach.”
Baltimore, Maryland City Landmarks Released for MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020
Dfflyer Direct made another city landmark package available for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020, and it’s Baltimore in Maryland, United States.
It’s available on Simmarket and on the developer’s own store, starting at $8.99, with the following features.
75+ handcrafted city buildings
- Water, marina, and tree cleanup
- Highly detailed Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium with 4k textures
- Enhanced night lighting and signage
- High quality PBR textures
- Performance-optimized for smooth frame rates
FSLTL Will Lose Live Traffic at the End of This Month
Unfortunately, the popular traffic add-on FSLTL announced on Discord that the unpaid access it has to FlightRadar24 data will end on April 30.
Since access to paid data on the platform is prohibitively expensive, the injector will use static traffic data by the end of this month, losing its dynamic traffic feature.
The developers will be looking for potential alternative providers, but they doubt they’ll find one. An alternative possibility is that they would try to find a low-cost provider to partner with, which could charge users a fee, although FSLTL itself will always remain free.
The situation will result in one of the following outcomes.
- They find a no-cost provider of live data for use with the FSLTL injector
- They find a low-cost provider of live data users would purchase on their own for use with the FSLTL injector
- The injector stays static aircraft only
- The injector as a whole dies
A very important caveat is that this affects only the injector. The awesome base model package provided by FSLTL will remain available and will continue to be updated with new models and liveries, which is good news, considering that many use it with other services.
