Created in collaboration with FSA, FlightSimExpo, the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, and more, the scenery replicates KPVD as well as the Rhode Island Convention Center. For the first time ever, the FSExpo show floor is modeled in-sim with a special deal available only before the show.

Licensed by Microsoft, the new cockpit features subtle hints of MSFS blue and an all-new ergonomic flight seat with built in lumbar support. Hardware support includes brands such as Thrustmaster, Honeycomb, and more.

MSFS Addons, 12 June 2025

 

The Starship, the first GA aircraft with an all-glass panel, has been Black Square developer Nick Cyganski's passion project for years. FSElite got the chance to spend hours hands-on with it prior to the June 19th release.

The release comes with an update to the 777F and 200ER for both MSFS 2020 and 2024. The 777-200LR is entering beta testing this weekend which will bring all four variants of the Triple Seven into MSFS.

Released as an Experimental build, certain features such as Airport Maps and RAAS are not yet working due to the streaming data changes in 2024. iFly recommends using the Sim Update 3 beta for better compatibility.

2WA1 is a residential airpark where pilots can taxi straight out from their home to the runway. Previously released for FSX and MSFS 2020, the new version takes advantage of 2024 specific features and includes nearby WA45, Olympic Field.
