Flight Simulation developers shared news today, including an aircraft and scenery 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 today’s flight simulation news.

Dassault Falcon 50 for Microsoft Flight Simulator Gets New Screenshots and Development Update

Contrail released new screenshots and a development update for its Dassault Falcon 50 business jet.

We hear that testing is going well, and the developer is confident that a release candidate will be ready in the next two weeks. The target is confirmed for Q2 2026.

The autopilot and flight planner have been significantly refined, and the weather radar has been integrated, including the tilt feature from Sim Update 5 (although this is only for MSFS 2024). The MX20 and GNSXLS can also show datalink weather.

The galley and cabin are now complete, and interior LODs are currently being worked on. The following features will also be included.

  • The Fueling Panel, allowing you to fuel the aircraft yourself
  • The “OK TOW / NO TOW” sign tied to parking brake status
  • A torque link connect/disconnect feature
  • A pushback feature currently in development to simulate ground handling even further

A GSX profile will be included, with the ability for animated passengers to board the aircraft.
