Message from the Editorial Team

Welcome to the seventeenth newsletter from Threshold!
In August, we wrote a whopping 68 news pieces and 10 articles.

We have reached the beginning of a new month, which means it's time to reflect on August in the latest instalment of the Threshold Monthly Newsletter. Last month brought significant updates in the flight simulation community, including the releases of Pyreegue Dev Co.’s Birmingham Airport, iniBuilds’ Larnaca International Airport, Microsoft’s Sim Update 16 for MSFS 2020, Microsoft’s Sim Update 3 for MSFS 2024, and SimNord’s Copenhagen Airport. Additionally, iniBuilds announced an upcoming rendition of Manchester Airport and the Airbus A340 for MSFS 2024. With everything released and announced last month, we look forward to everything September has in store. As always, we will keep you updated.

We’re Going to Brazil!

Threshold | Official Media Partner of Expo Aviação Virtual

We’re a small team, and we’re not exactly experts at tracking social media mentions. So we just now discovered that the folks at Expo Aviação Virtual made a fantastic announcement about our partnership five weeks ago.

Here’s what they wrote (originally in Brazilian Portuguese):

We had originally planned to wait until we had our feature article about the event ready before announcing anything, but it’s time—and only fair—to return the spotlight.

Threshold is proud to officially be a media partner of Expo Aviação Virtual, the largest virtual aviation event in South America, taking place this November in São Paulo. You can learn more about the event here: https://www.expoaviacaovirtual.com.br/en

FREE TICKETS TO THE EVENT

To celebrate the partnership, we’ve been given 10 tickets to give away, and at least 5 of them will go to our paying Patreon supporters through a raffle. No matter your (paid) tier, you’re in. Details on the raffle will come later, but if you’re based in Brazil—or want to make the trip—this is a great chance. And truthfully, our Patreon pool isn’t that massive, so your odds are pretty solid. All you have to do is sign up and send a message on Patreon that you want in on the raffle. 😄

More soon 🤗

RELEASE - Starship for MSFS 2020/2024 by Black Square

We’re excited to share that the Starship for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 by Black Square is now available in our store. After three years of development and collaboration with actual Starship owners, Black Square have ensured that the aircraft's rendition is as accurate as possible.

The addon is packed with features, including an accurate recreation of the Collins avionics suite, a sophisticated pressurisation simulation, an advanced cabin temperature simulation, and a new tablet interface, among many others. These features have led to the addon being promoted as one of the most advanced aircraft simulations available for the simulator.
