MSFS Weekly Briefing: Updates for five German aircraft and BelugaXL

The *Aircraft and Avionics Update 06* introduced enhancements to five historical German aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Existing owners receive these updates for free, while new buyers can purchase the models for 14.99 USD each in the in-sim marketplace. Included are the *Junkers F 13* (world’s first all-metal transport aircraft), the *Junkers Ju 52* („Tante Ju“), the *Dornier Do X* (largest ever hydroplane prototype), the *Dornier Do J Wal* (pioneering Arctic and South Atlantic flights), and the *Dornier Do 31* (Cold War VTOL transport). Additionally, the *Airbus BelugaXL*—previously exclusive to MSFS 2024—is now available in MSFS 2020 for 19.99 USD. Both simulators received the monthly *Navdata Update* with *AIRAC Cycle 2610*, along with updated airport versions in MSFS 2024. The full list of changes is available on the official forums. The *Sim Update 7 Beta* remains open for public testing, with participants encouraged to vote in surveys and report bugs.
