Flight‑sim & Hardware Roundup

iniBuilds pushed A350 v1.2.4 with incremental fixes for MSFS, and Turtle Beach’s VelocityOne Flightstick is now being sold at a 21% discount — solid picks if you’re tuning a sim cockpit. Community releases and footage also dropped: Fokker 100/70 screenshots, Mobile/Boundary Bay/Westray airports for MSFS, free Menorca Airport, X‑Plane 12 Bolzano out, and X‑Plane 12.4.1 Beta 2 for stability/crash fixes (check addons).

Changelog entries for the iniBuilds A350 show concrete fixes to autoflight and navigation logic including an incorrect automatic entry into descent mode, overlapping planned step-climbs on the position report page, and inaccurate fuel‑burn predictions in the MCDU, plus DMEs wrongly displaying as VORs and unrealistically high ADS‑B vertical‑speed readouts; the EFB also gained an in‑flight maintenance‑item override and the update is being distributed via iniManager. (fselite.net)) Windows Central confirms Turtle Beach’s VelocityOne Flightstick is on a 21% discount during the current sale window, and the peripheral ships with high‑precision non‑contact (Hall‑effect) main axes, 27 programmable buttons, an integrated OLED flight‑management display and Xbox/PC compatibility. (windowscentral.com)) Just Flight’s development update and recent screenshot gallery for the Fokker F70/F100 highlight native models with 4K and 8K exterior textures, dynamic wing‑flex, detailed cockpit systems and dozens of functional cockpit controls shown in the preview images. (justflight.com)) Canadian Flight Sim Studios’ Boundary Bay (CZBB/YDT) scenery went live for MSFS 2024 this month, with the developer noting Boundary Bay’s history as a busy general‑aviation field (opened Summer 1983) and a focus on GA‑oriented layout and lighting. (fselite.net)) BurningBlueDesign’s Westray & Papa Westray release was distributed through Orbx, with Orbx Central offering MSFS 2024 owners of the 2020 versions a free upgrade and the package recreating the pair of short Orkney Islands strips known for their scheduled inter‑island hops. (forum.orbxdirect.com)) A community Mobile airport update (KBFM / Mobile International) has an extended revision on Flightsim.to by ViolinPilot, while Menorca Airport (LEMH) received a new freeware enhancement from Chak991 that updates ground textures, markings and apron lighting distributed via Flightsim.to and covered in a community news post. (flightsim.to)) Harexperience released a dedicated LIPB – Bolzano Dolomiti airport product for X‑Plane 12 featuring runway 01/19 and high‑detail alpine surroundings, and Laminar Research pushed X‑Plane 12.4.1 Public Beta 2 on March 17, 2026 as a stability‑focused build that warns users it’s unstable while addressing targeted crashes and issues such as METAR rendering, copilot PFD switching and shader‑cache deadlocks.
