Hello Captain, Some of the best moments in a flight simulator happen when you’re not flying at all; maybe you're holding short while a heavy rolls past, lingering after shutdown to see what’s on final, or simply watching a busy airport come to life. There’s a quiet kind of fun in watching the world move around you. That spirit inspired the newest ChasePlane experience: Spotting™. And it goes well…
As I write this, we're waiting for our Uber to the airport. FlightSimExpo kicks off tomorrow, and the team is scattered across various stages of packing, traveling, and final preparations, and we're doing one last pass to make sure every detail of this release is ready to go before we unveil it on stage. Skytrails is one of those products that doesn't scream for attention. In fact, you won't…
Hello Captain, One of the coolest moments as a developer isn't always releasing something yourself. Sometimes it's watching another team take something you've built and use it in a way that makes you stop and think, "Yeah... that's exactly why we made this!" Our friends at SayIntentions.AI have officially launched their new Flow Pro Widget , bringing a large portion of the SayIntentions experience…

Hello Captain, Getting scenery into MSFS 2024 hasn’t been a casual port, it’s actually been quite a grind! New methods, new quirks, a lot of trial and error, and we’re still not done moving our full collection over. Every release still has to earn its spot, and Sunset Strip delivers. Set on a quiet bluff in California, this one leans into atmosphere, a calm lake, glassy water, scattered fishing…
Good day, everyone! For the past six months, our team has been heads-down every single day, refining ChasePlane , ironing out its rough edges, working around platform limitations, and making the experience better for the thousands of simmers who rely on it. Today, that work takes a major leap forward. We're releasing the first experimental build of ChasePlane for MSFS 2024 with Sim Update 5 Beta…
We call it Area 42. It’s where the team gathers for full workdays, nearly every day of the week. It’s where focus lives, where we’ll often sit together in a voice channel, mostly silent, each locked into the work in front of us. It’s also where our carefully screened, trusted tester group operates. Ideas are born and torn down here, rebuilt, tested, and tested again, only shared with you once they…
Hello Captain, Today we’re closing the book on something special, and on 2025. With this release, we officially wrap up the December and early 2025 wave that was teased through our Sim Advent Calendar , quietly posted after Black Friday. What started as a simple creative countdown turned into weeks of anticipation, speculation, and shared excitement trying to decipher what it could all mean. Now,…

Hello Captain, The past week has been incredibly rewarding. Seeing Flow in the hands of so many content creators and watching them shape it into their own version of a perfect menu system has been great to experience. That level of personalization is exactly what Flow was designed for! Once Flow went public and real usage began, we started paying close attention to patterns in feedback and…
