Flight Simulation developers shared news today, including aircraft and scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, MSFS 2020, and X-Plane.
Before we move on to the news, below you can find more flight simulation stories that received their own individual coverage today.
- The Classic “Mini-Jumbo” BAE 146 Available Now for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- Here’s When Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 for PS5 Releases Around the World
- C-130 Hercules for DCS World Released in Early Access Alongside New Update
Without further ado, I leave you with the news.
Eurofighter Typhoon Won’t Release in November, but It’s Close
IndiaFoxtEcho announced that its Eurofighter Typhoon won’t make it for November, but it’s “very close.”
While the initial release won’t be perfect (they never are), the developer wants to make sure that it’ll be a good starting point to improve upon and implement new features.
While a release date has not been announced, it’s a question of “weeks” at worst.
Boeing 737 by PMDG Gets New Screenshots
PMDG released two new screenshots of the upcoming Boeing 737 for MSFS 2024.
This time around, we get to see the cabin of the Boeing Business Jet version and the back of the pedestal on the flight deck, with the repository for the probe covers.
E‑Jets for X-Plane Will Gets Paid 3.0 Update
X-Craft announced that it’s working on the 3.0 update for its Embraer E-Jets. It’ll be a paid upgrade, but it’ll be a “very reasonable upgrade price” simply because continued support has a cost that the developer can’t continue to shoulder.
That being said, here’s what you can expect:
“We are currently working on the next generation of our E-Jets Family, which will include a brand-new custom autopilot introducing features such as holds, flyover waypoints, and DME arcs. We are also completely reworking how the FMS and autopilot handle missed approaches.
But that’s not all! We have a massive list of new features planned for the new E-Jets Family. We’re also planning many other features, such as separate screens, realistic loading through the EFB, SimBrief integration, the green dot, improved cockpit textures, more cockpit animations, a more realistic EICAS messaging system, a new communications system for in-sim tutorials, and deeper aircraft systems overall.”
