X-Plane 12 is a flight simulator by Laminar Research, available on PC.
The new update is called “Flightlessons Update” because it does exactly what it says on the tin. Among other things, it updates the onboarding part of the simulator with new flight lessons focusing on the Cirrus SR-22 and Lancair Evolution, on top of a new demo area focused on Austria.
Speaking of betas, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 also launched the beta of its Sim Update 1 and then provided an updated build just yesterday.
