The full changelog follows below:

Furthermore, FSLabs has added a free hardware interface for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, bringing seamless integration between their two products and selected high-end hardware, starting with full support for the Skalarki product line. From the mini overhead panel to the DCDU, the interface allows plug-and-play functionality, aiming to deliver an immersive and highly authentic experience. It can be seen live and in action at FlightSimExpo 2025 at Skalarki’s booth (stand 116).

They conclude the blog post on the update with a brief progress update on the PWs, which is said to be coming soon, and they have been hard at work at properly integrating it, from its very unique “whale-like” sound to how it performs and flies, being more than just a different 3D model.

The update is only available on their experimental channel for the time being. Users can switch to the experimental branch by heading over to the settings page of their Control Center (in right corner of the settings page).
