FSA's curated weekly news digest. Catch up on the latest in home flight simulation from the past week.

Hello! It's Saturday, August 12. We're covering a new (third) option for free MSFS model matching, venue options for FlightSimExpo 2024, and a way to get PA announcements into flight sim (because who doesn't want to hear when it is and isn't okay to use your mobile device?).
