July 3rd, 2025 Development Update

This week’s Screenshot Challenge winner for the second week running is X user tsujiKa_air! If you’re interested in participating in our weekly Screenshot Challenges, check out the details in the Community section below.

Last Friday, we released City Update 11: Northeastern United States 2 and Famous Flyer 12: Piper PA-28-236 Dakota. The City Update may be claimed for FREE from the in-sim Marketplace for both MSFS (2020) and MSFS 2024 users. The Dakota is available FREE to all MSFS (2024) players and will automatically appear in My Library — no download needed! For MSFS (2020) players, you can purchase the PA-28 from the Marketplace for USD $14.99.

In beta news, we released two new pre-release test builds for MSFS 2024 Sim Update 3 this week. You can read the release notes for each of these builds at the links below:

As a reminder for everyone participating in the pre-release test, we really appreciate it if you submit bug reports for any issues you encounter and vote in the surveys for each build. Your timely and detailed feedback helps the development team immensely as we work to deliver the best possible Sim Update to our player community.

As announced in our Development Update Blog last week, the FlightFX C750 is coming to the Marketplace soon! As a special preview of this exciting upcoming aircraft, check out twotonemurphy’s Twitch stream on July 9! The livestream begins at 1900 UTC, and the FlightFX C750 preview is expected to begin about an hour into the broadcast. Murph will be chatting with the FlightFX devs and exploring all the great new features of the plane which releases for MSFS (2020) and MSFS 2024 on July 10!

Community Fly-In Friday

This week marks two North American nations celebrating their national holidays: Canada Day on July 1 and Independence Day on July 4. To mark the occasion, our flight plan this Friday will take us along Lake Ontario to visit locations on both sides of the border: Oshawa, Toronto, and Hamilton on the Canadian side then Buffalo and Rochester on the American side. We will also fly over the breathtaking Niagara Falls, a world famous natural landmark shared by both countries.
