Today, Orbx released another update of its flight tracking application for flight simulators, Volanta.
With the update, users will be able to enjoy the “year in review” for 2025, showing off a multitude of statistics about their flights, from the favorite aircraft to the number of visited countries, and more.

Of course, there is more, including the customary serving of minor tweaks and fixes.
