Before we move on to the flight simulation news, make sure to check out today’s episode of our “Can You Guess this Airport?” video series.
Without further ado, I leave you with today’s flight simulation news.

Accu-Sim Lancair Legacy RG-550 for MSFS 2024 Gets New Screenshots
A2A Simulations released new screenshots of its Lancair Legacy RG-550, which is currently being beta-tested.
This time around, we also get an interesting statement about the quality we can expect from the visuals, directly from 3D Lead Michal Puto.
“All of the artwork for our Lancair Legacy has been created entirely in house. We have used a mixture of photogrammetry, 3D scanning, good old fashioned 3D modelling and digital sculpting, with Scott’s own Lancair Legacy providing the inspiration and real aircraft reference throughout the project.
The leatherwork inside the cockpit is a great example of the detail involved. Every leather part was hand sculpted in ZBrush before being baked onto the optimised low poly mesh used in the simulator. The textures were then created using Substance Painter and the Affinity Suite.”
