Episodes
We react to the PMDG 737-700 release for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and the reality that many of us keep paying to upgrade aircraft we already know by heart. We also zoom out to the bigger flight sim add-on market, where competition shapes prices, trust, and what finally gets built for sim pilots.
• PMDG 737-700 for MSFS 2024 impressions and what you actually get
• upgrade pricing fatigue and the “uti...
We sit down with “Not Matt” from Miravia Softworks to talk about building a procedural mission generator for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 based on US Coast Guard operations.

We catch up on the latest heat in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, from a standout Piaggio P180 to the sudden A340 buyer’s dilemma. We also get honest about how we plan routes, why long hauls feel rewarding, and how scenery and updates can make or break a sim night.

We weigh the X-Crafts recent ERJ 2.0 release, celebrate the Marwin's sharp HondaJet 2024 rebuild and consumer-friendly pricing, and pull apart Southwest’s pivot to hub-and-spoke. Spirit’s restructuring and a bold new 787-9 project round out a packed hour.
• ERJ family 2.0 strengths and weaknesses
• Marketing lead times versus delivery windows and buyer trust
• HJet 2024 rebuild highlights, miss...
We unpack a big week in flight sim: a strong DFW release that finally does the hub justice, FS Labs’ surprise A321neo update with stellar sounds but a divisive cabin, and PMDG’s 737-900 that balances immersion and performance with a refined interior. We close with upcoming events and how communication shapes what we fly.
