Before we move on with the news, below you can find stories that received their own individual coverage.

We also posted a video of a full flight in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 with Fenix’s Airbus A320 from Tokyo Haneda to Kitakyushu.
Without further ado, I leave you with the news.
F/A-18E Payloads Released for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 as Boeing 707 Gets Development Update
Aerial Simulations released its F/A-18E Payloads package that adds pylons and the ability to add weapons and drop tanks to the default F/A-18E.
It’s available on the official marketplace for $9.99.

- FPU-12 Droptanks
- Mk82
- Mk83
- Mk84
- GBU-38
- GBU-32
- GBU-31
- GBU-31 BLU109

- AIM-120C
The developer also provided an update about its Boeing 707, including two WIP images of the landing gear bay.
“The external update is flying by with the biggest section being tackled, the main gear bays. Lot of external access hatches have been added including the external air, external power, lavatory hatches, fuel loading station. The front gear has had lots of details added to its bay as well.
Systems are moving forward too. The electrical system is first to be fully finished. I got a bit carried away and added some consequences to incorrect generator management even though i said we wouldn’t do abnormal ops… you need to make sure the generators are paralleled correctly before trying to add them to the bus, or at least not try and bypass the auto sync circuits by using the bus tie breakers, or you might find you no longer have a generator.”
