Flight Simulation developers shared news today, focusing on aircraft and airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, MSFS 2020, and X-Plane.
Incidentally, today we released the 24th episode of This Week in Flight Simulation news. Check it out for an overview of last week’s news to make sure you haven’y missed anything important.
Without further ado, you can check out the news below.

Just Flight is working on the 2.2 version of the Fokker F28 Fellowship. The major feature of the update will be a native Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 version, which will also enable the sale of the airliner on the official marketplace.
Yet, that is not all. Unique cabin branding is being added for all the liveries included in the package, on top of the pre-flight walkaround and a new EFB tablet model with window mount option.

Airbus A340 for MSFS 2024 Gets New Trailer and Liveries
iniBuilds released a trailer ahead of the release on the official Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 marketplace of the Airbus A340.
