Flight Simulation developers shared news today, including an aircraft and airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020.
Incidentally, today we published the 31st episode of “This Week in Flight Simulation News,” providing a handy way to catch up with all the major news you may have missed in the past seven days. Make sure to check it out.
Without further ado, I leave you with the news.
McDonnell Douglas MD-11 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Hopefully Coming by Christmas

Today, TFDi Designs hosted a livestream showcasing the upcoming major update for the McDonnell Douglas MD-11. On top of that, the livestream also showcased the optional Extended Simulation Package, which will add failures for $4.99.
Since we can’t embed Twitch videos, you can check the recording out directly on TFDi’s channel.
Perhaps even more exciting is the news about the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 version. It’s now 95% complete. Most of the code is done, stability issues have been fixed, the LODs are done, the configuration for the career mode is complete.
The developers mention that they’re polishing the update for MSFS 2020, and then they can finish the MSFS 2024 release. They’re satisfied with the results of their work in the new simulator.
It’ll come soon, alongside the release on the official marketplace and Xbox, and the developers hope to celebrate the launch before this year’s Christmas party.
