Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has a wide range of recommended PC specifications available for different experiences. The FSNews team has prepared a guide for 4 different PC builds to make the most out of the sim.

 

In a public statement, Amir Salehi of Flightbeam Studios accused fellow scenery developer Alexey Unishkov of BMWorld, of distributing pirated addons from multiple developers. As of the time of publication, multiple flight sim product vendors have pulled BMWorld’s products from their stores.

What's New in the World of X-Plane

From this week's X-Plane.Org digest: public beta 12.1.3b1 is out, an update to the Boeing 747-8, and new scenery is out for LFNC, NLWF, and NLWW. Read the full weekly roundup here.

 

Frustrated by the lack of a single source of information about what's available for X-Plane, Marko from X-Crafts decided to take matters into his own hands. With input from as many developers as he could get information from, the X-Plane Index is a one-stop shop for finding out what's available to enhance your sim or offer new experiences.
