✈️ RELEASE: Skytrails for MSFS 2024 on PC & Xbox

Skytrails is one of those products that doesn't scream for attention. In fact, you won't realize how much it adds until it's there.

The idea came from a simple observation: sometimes the skies feel a little lonely.

In the real world, a quick glance upward often reveals contrails stretching across the sky, subtle reminders that you're sharing the airspace with countless other aircraft.

That's the feeling Skytrails was built to bring back.

Annnnnd, if you purchased SimFX directly from the Parallel 42 store, Skytrails is on us.

⚙️ Flow Essentials and Flow Pro for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

We have pushed out an update for Flow Essentials and Flow Pro for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. This update is geared towards fixing an issue where Flow would not always start when starting a flight.

When flying in the sim, you'll receive an in-sim notification when the update is available. Once you close and relaunch the sim, Flow should be updated and a detailed changelog will be displayed for you. If this automatic update does not apply the update, simply run the Flow Manager that is available in your //42 account and you will be able to install the update from there.

SayIntentions.AI Comes to Flow Pro as a widget!

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 directly into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 through Flow Pro.

Instead of bouncing between app windows, pilots can now access important information right inside the simulator through a custom widget. Thanks to Flow Pro, pilots can access radio communications, airport information, frequencies, weather data, checklists, live tracking, and more from within the sim environment. For VR users especially, this is a huge quality-of-life improvement.

If you're not using Flow Pro yet, we've offered the SayIntentions community a special deal in the Parallel42.com Store. For a limited time, use the code: SAYFLOWPRO at checkout to receive 30% off Flow Pro for MSFS 2024 and start using the SayIntentions Flow Pro Widget!

FlightSimExpo 2026 x //42 - Merch Drop, Announcements & The Exhibitor Lounge Returns!

FlightSimExpo season is back, and this year we’re heading to Saint Paul, Minnesota, for another unforgettable weekend with the flight simulation community. Every year this event grows larger, louder, and more exciting, bringing together developers, creators, pilots, simmers, and aviation enthusiasts from all over the world. For us, FlightSimExpo has always been about more than products. It’s about the people, the conversations, and the relationships that continue shaping this industry year after year.

And yes...the //42 team will be there in full force as Platinum Sponsors and hosting The Exhibitors Lounge. A launchpad for collabs that benefit our entire community.

🤝 Meet The Team
The crew will be on-site in full force. Come say hi to Edson Soriano, Keven Menard, Ed Correia, Simon Hogarty, Nick Hesler, and Jessica of Studio 42. We’d love to meet you, whether you want to talk business, share stories about your adventures with our addons, or just say hello! Expos are the best because they take online communities into real life conversations, and for a couple of days, usernames are people again. Buy your tickets!

💼 The Exhibitors Lounge
After amazing experiences at previous events, //42 is once again proud to sponsor and host The Exhibitors Lounge. What started as a simple idea quickly became one of the most important behind-the-scenes spaces at the event. The lounge quickly became an important place to step away from the chaos of the show floor, recharge for a bit, and connect with exhibitors, sponsors, organizers, and industry friends.

💥 What’s New?
We'll be introducing something new at in the first new product release video slot! It will appear just after Thrustmaster and before SayIntentions; you might as well arrive by the start time of noon to ensure a seat. Also, if you stick around for the SayIntentions presentation, you might see us on stage for something more if you're a ChasePlane user. 😉

🔥 //42 FSExpo 2026 Merch Drop
Would it really be FlightSimExpo without new //42 merch?

This year's design leans heavily into the history of Saint Paul as a steamboat hub, vintage Americana, rubber hose cartoons, and the beautifully controlled chaos that somehow surrounds every FlightSimExpo weekend. Hidden throughout the design are nods to FlightSimExpo itself, including the coordinates of the Saint Paul RiverCentre, home of FSExpo 2026, along with a few little details that //42 fans will immediately recognize.

These are available now and shipping worldwide with plenty of time before FSExpo.

⭐ Community Highlight: LA JACKPOT FlowPro with Touch Screens

We love to see the content the community makes using //42 products, and one caught our eye recently. LA JACKPOT published a video demonstrating how powerful Flow Pro can be in combination with a touch screen. Check out his video below!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJUC5u7T7Fw

Flow Pro offers tons of powerful tools built in to enhance the experience for users. We offer upgraded in game panels, creative and streamer tools, aviator tools for radios, autopilot, lights, etc, power tools such as pulling METARs, calculations, and more!

At //42, we believe in the power of community. Although our bundled Flow Pro widgets are impressive, they pale in comparison to the incredible things that members of our community have built. Flow Pro goes beyond a menu system; it's a development platform for creating customizable menus and widgets with a user-friendly Editor that uses Javascript, HTML, and CSS.
