June 25th, 2026 MSFS Weekly Briefing

Weekly Recap

The public beta test for Sim Update 5.1 remains ongoing, with 1.7.34.0 being the latest test build. We would once again like to thank everyone from the community who is participating in the beta and sharing your comments and bug reports. Your feedback is invaluable to the team as we work to bring SU5.1 to release! If you are enrolled in the beta and have not already done so, please be sure to vote in our forum surveys as this data from the community is especially important to us.

Please note that this week’s new and updated Marketplace releases are available as normal (you can all the latest releases in the in-sim Marketplace itself), but the website has not yet been updated with this week’s products. We will post the updated Marketplace listings within the next few days. Our apologies for the slight delay.


Check out this week’s NEW and UPDATED releases for both the MSFS (2020) and MSFS 2024 in-sim Marketplaces.

 


 

Community Fly-In Friday

 

June 25 is Slovenia Statehood Day (Dan državnosti), the national holiday to celebrate Slovenia’s declaration of independence in 1991. To commemorate the occasion, our Community Fly-In Friday group flight this week will be a scenic flight over this picturesque country in Central Europe.

For the best experience, MSFS (2020) players should ensure they have downloaded the FREE World Update 15: Central Eastern Europe from the in-sim Marketplace. MSFS 2024 users already have this latest scenery installed by default.

Weekly Flight Inspiration

The world is a big place! If you’re looking for ideas about where to fly this week, check out our Community Managers’ recommendation here!

The World Cup is continuing in the group stages across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. With many host cities holding matches you can replicate the real-world charter flights as teams travel between locations, or airliner flights taking fans across the world to see their home country competing!

upcoming Community Events

Regular Community Fly-Ins: If you’re looking to join in with group flights, or even host your own, the best place to begin is via our dedicated Forum category. With a whole host of groups organising regular events, there’s something for everyone! Find more details here.

Community Video

The Fokker F70 & F100 by JustFlight is releasing this week. While this iconic airliner doesn’t fly much nowadays, it was incredibly popular just a few decades ago. If you want to see whether this aircraft may be for you, check out this video from Simblitz, who takes a pre-release look at the aircraft:
