We break down a busy stretch in flight sim, from the FlightFX Citation X Version 2 release to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Sim Update 6 and the constant push and pull between performance, visuals, and stability. We also dig into X-Plane’s steady progress, why VR has become our default way to fly, and a personal return to real-world flying with a hard reminder that legal is not the same as proficient.
• FlightFX Citation X V2 upgrades and why it raises the bar for business jet fidelity
• What’s still missing in long-range business jets and why the Global 6000 matters
• Sim Update 6 improvements and whether 2024 is now the obvious choice over 2020
• Why frequent updates feel great until they break third-party add-ons
• Performance versus visual fidelity and how optional city updates change the tradeoff
• Where Microsoft Flight Simulator is heading with broader integrations and brand partnerships
• X-Plane 12.4.4 strengths in flight modeling and what could bring simmers back
• VR flight sim immersion with Meta Quest 3 plus the wired setup that finally works
• Hardware panels, cost drops, and the question of when a home cockpit becomes too much
• Real-world flying update after a long recovery and how proficiency comes back over time
