Incidentally, today we also launched a video tutorial explaining how to use the AutoThrust on Airbus aircraft. You should definitely watch it if you’re new to them.
Beechcraft T-34 Mentor for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 “Ready to Land”
Carenado released new screenshots of its Beechcraft T-34 Mentor (renamed “Tango34B”).
The aircraft is said to be “ready to land” for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, so it should come soon.
Airbus A220 for MSFS Gets Small Development Update and Screenshot
Synaptic Simulations provided on Discord a brief development update and a screenshot of its upcoming Airbus A220.
“We’ve hit several key milestones this year, such as building up our engine control, fly-by-wire, and autoflight systems, and migrating our flight management system to a more robust and efficient framework that lends itself to tighter coupling with other systems and flight functions. We’ve also incorporated more intricate state and coupling in our existing systems, bringing our total EICAS message count to just over 100. The engine and flight models saw many revisions, too, bringing us ever closer to a realistic flying experience for the discerning pilot. We’d be remiss to not also mention our first ever exposition at FSExpo, where we gave you all a hands-on demonstration of the aircraft and it’s many features—thank you to everybody who visited us in-person or tuned in online for the media coverage.
We’re moving into 2026 with more momentum than ever, and are increasing the rate at which test packages are sent our to our beta testing team. On the horizon for us is ensuring that LNAV guidance is working appropriately for various procedures and flight plans around the world, incorporating VNAV into the flight path computation pipeline, and ensuring performance parameters are respected by the guidance and engine control systems. There are still refinements we want to make to the engine and flight models, and there are a couple of smaller systems to complete as well such as pressurization and autobrakes.”
Fiat G.91 for DCS World Gets Development Update and Screenshots
Indiafoxtecho provided a development update and new screenshots of the classic Fiat G.91 for DCS World.
“We are currently focusing on finalizing the aircraft systems and further refining the flight model, both critical elements to ensure realistic aircraft behavior. The 3D model is nearly complete, with only a few final details still being worked on. Our priority remains unchanged: quality, realism, and reliability.
We prefer to take the necessary time to test and refine every aspect of our modules, in order to deliver products that meet the standards we have always set for ourselves.”

Salzburg Airport Announced for Microsoft Flight Simulator
RW Profiles announced on Discord that its next airport is Salzburg (LOWS) in Austria.
For now, we only get to see a screenshot of the airport’s vehicles above.
