Cessna Citation Sovereign+ for Microsoft Flight Simulator and MSFS 2024 Gets New Screenshots

Skyward Simulations released on its Discord server new screenshots of its upcoming Cessna Citation 680 Sovereign+, showcasing both the external model and the flight deck.

PMDG Releases Boeing 777 Freighter for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Details Upgrade Path for MSFS 2024

PMDG released its highly-anticipated Boeing 777 freighter. It can be purchased on the developer’s own store (where you can find an extensive features list) for $54.99.

We also hear that PMDG is expecting Microsoft to fix the issue blocking them from working on MSFS 2024 compatibility in the next update or the one following. After that, they will give priority to bringing the 777-300ER and 777F to the new system adding many new gameplay features in the process.

The upgrade should be free as long as Microsoft allows free upgrades on the official marketplace. If that’s not allowed, PMDG will stick to the minimum possible price.
