Simulation Daily publishes a roundup every day of 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.

Jacksonville International Airport V2 Announced for MSFS

Fly2High announced version 2 of its Jacksonville International Airport (KJAX) in the United States.

The developer mentioned that the airport has been completely rebuilt, featuring the latest updates to the new terminal. It will be released in October 2026 and more screenshots will come soon.

X-Plane 12 Version 12.4.4. Beta 2 Released

Laminar Research released the second beta version of version 12.4.4. of X-Plane 12.

You can find the full patch notes below.

General

  • Fixed duplicates in translation files
  • Fixed an issue when using the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS on Linux (XPD-18428)
  • Fixed a rounding issue in the Data Output graph

Avionics

G1000

  • Pixellate inset map’s NEXRAD like the main map (XPD-18423)
  • ADF radio new cycles through STBY/ANT/ADF/BFO modes on the PFD with new softkey text and arrows (supported on planes equipped with an ADF antenna)
  • Softkey bar now automatically reverts to the top-level softkeys after 45 seconds of inactivity
  • The “fly course reversal?” popup on the approach-transition page now only appears after pressing ENT, not while scrolling through transitions

GNS430 / GNS 530

  • Pixellate NEXRAD view to match real world device

Graphics

  • Fixed a seaming artifact in the sky dome (XPD-18228)

Graphics Core Engine

  • Fixed stutter caused by the defragmenter holding the main pool VMA lock
  • Fixed a Zink assertion message during startup (XPD-18413)
  • Disabled async compute on macOS which should reduce stutters and frame pacing issues
  • Improved the DXGI adapter matching logic (XPD-18418)
  • Fixed a crash when using some AMD GPUs on Linux – the Vulkan device advertised sparse features without a sparse queue (XPD-18430)

Systems

  • Fixed a power loss when rapidly reducing prop RPM on PT-6 turboprops:
    the fuel topping governor now shares the prop governor’s RPM trend
    instead of reacting to the setpoint change alone

User Interface

  • Improved screen for sound settings to better guide the user setting the radio volume

Weather Radar

  • Clouds in the path of the aircraft are drawn solid now instead of hatched (XPD-18421)

SDK

  • Fixed an error in XLua 2.0 where syntax errors didn’t trigger corresponding error messages (XPD-18444)
  • XPLMLinesStripple no longer ignores XPLMSetLineCat at the first endpoint (XPD-18441)
  • Fixed enter key handling when using XLua and ImGUI
  • Fixed a crash when using array datarefs with XLua
  • New API function to return if X-Plane is running in professional mode
