Hi everyone,
A nice quality-of-life improvement update has been submitted to stores for JETLINER:
-Adds visual markers
-Fix for forcing correct assistance settings to avoid loss of control
-Imagery and menu UI improvements
-Adjusted Gibraltar wrong turn trigger
-Reduced required control deflection during control checks
-Revised opening camera sequences
Version 1.4 is submitted to all stores and will be available once they update their libraries.
Hi everyone,
A minor update to Jetliner v1.4.1 has been submitted to stores for processing.
The World Update for Iberia included the new AIRAC 2203 cycle, which changes the runway at Barcelona from 25R to 24R. This update revised all the associated references to the new runway numbers, including recorded dialog, subtitles, manual etc.
This will be available once stores update their libraries. Marketplace is usually the last to update. In the meantime, there is a simple workaround:
In the Jetliner 06. Approach mission, your instructor will ask you to insert the ILS Z 25R into the FMGC.
Please instead insert ILS Z 24R, which is otherwise identical.
Thanks to those that reported this issue this morning, I was pleased to be able to make this update the same day.
Hi everyone,
There seems to be an issue with the absence of waypoint TEBLA, used in Jetliner 06. Approach.
On XBOX, TEBLA no longer appears in the flightplan after inserting the ILS Z 24R approach, but functions correctly on PC.
This issue seems to have been caused by SU9, although it was not a problem with the SU9 Preview.
Asobo have been contacted for an explanation. Also, SU9 broke the Script Editor, which is used for missions, so fixing this issue may take longer than usual.
Thanks for your patience in the meantime, the support page will be updated and any workarounds listed soon: www.fsacademy.co.uk/support-jetliner
UPDATE: We never did hear back from Asobo, but their latest update appears to have resolved this issue, as reported by several users.

Hi everyone,
We’re aware that now the weather in Barcelona has deteriorated. The rain is forecast to subside shortly and will be clearing up soon.
UPDATE: v1.5 has been released which improves the weather in Barcelona, however the latest update to MSFS has broken lesson one.
We have found the offending file and investigationscare ongoing. We’re looking to have a workaround available asap and will update the support page: www.fsacademy.co.uk/support-jetliner
Hello every one…
We have some very exciting news. Coming very soon to Flight Simulator is FS ACADEMY - COMMANDER.
An announcement trailer has been posted on our newly revamped website:
www.fsacademy.co.uk/commander
This will be a step forwards for FS ACADEMY, with new features such as instrument highlights and random failures.
Keep your cool in the face of adversity. FS ACADEMY - COMMANDER will arm you with the framework to deal with anything fate throws your way, made by a real airline Captain.
Including emergency landings, system malfunctions, hazardous weather and more, COMMANDER will present you with challenging and authentic scenarios that will stretch your abilities. Use real-world procedures and techniques to manage a wide range of scenarios that push you to the limit.
Forge a robust failure handling process that enables you to calmly and methodically work through the task at hand, no matter what aeroplane you are flying, that will stay with you throughout your flying career.
Know what to do when the engine stops turning. Stay in control when your instruments freeze. Survive a dangerous ash cloud encounter. Deal with a landing gear malfunction and then go your own way and make your own decisions, putting everything you have learnt to the test.
It’s time to level up and step into the shoes of the Commander. Feel the weight of responsibility from the four stripes on each shoulder.
01. WIGHT KNUCKLE
We start with a bang. Know what to do when the engine stops turning overhead the Isle of Wight. You will be introduced to failure management and will be shown how to select a suitable landing site. Follow the forced landing procedure to get us down safely.
02. SUBZERO
A freezing sky above the Isle of Man wreaks havoc on your instrumentation and controls. Think outside the box to recover and stay in control before returning to land with limited options. Learn the fundamentals of the pitot and static systems and see how difficult flying becomes without them. Use rudder to control your aircraft after your ailerons succumb to the chill.
03. BLACKOUT
Shut down non essential systems as you desperately stretch out battery life so that you are not plunged into darkness before landing. Come to a decision using a structured failure management system to ensure that you achieve the best possible outcome.
04. SPANNER IN THE WORKS
A jammed landing gear leg necessitates a discontinued approach for troubleshooting in the shadow of Mt Vesuvius. Run through your options before accepting fate and scraping down the runway centreline to a stop.
05. LOST IN THE FOG
Step up to the Jetliners and navigate your way out of the international Paris Charles de Gaulle airport in thick fog. Make sure not to take a wrong turn as Air Traffic Control will notice. We will discuss the take-off procedure as we crawl to the runway in diminished visibility.
06. FLYING BY NUMBERS
Once lined up on Paris CDG runway 27L, we set takeoff thrust and power through the fog up to flying speed. However all is not well after lift-off as our pitot systems become obstructed, forcing us to employ our Memory Actions to keep us on the rails. Sometimes the most difficult decisions are when everything returns to normal.
07. DRIFTDOWN
Lose an engine high above the Alps and see how our reduced performance forces us lower into thicker air. Complete the authentic engine failure procedure and communicate with the cabin crew and passengers as we drift closer and closer to the alpine landscape below.
08. TEMPEST
A nightly occurrence in the European summer, fight your way between thunderstorms and achieve maximum climb performance to leap clear of the clouds and punch through to the clearer skies above. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, you are reminded that not everything is within your control.
09. BRIMSTONE
A rapidly escalating situation develops onboard in the dead of night. Your engines begin to choke as the realisation sets in that you are engulfed within a dangerous cloud of volcanic ash. Run the real procedures to escape the area as you feel the full force of nature against you.
10. MIRACLE
An authentic recreation of US Airways Flight 1549. Based on the official NTSB report, experience for yourself the time critical decision making that was required of the crew in the cold January skies above New York. Combined with true to life weather, aircraft configuration, passenger loads, cockpit communications and ATC recordings, this is a fascinating look at the Miracle on the Hudson, but this time you are in the Captains seat.
11. WINDSHEAR
A last-minute windshear alert from our Cessna 208 throws our arrival into Guernsey into jeopardy. Make your own choice of whether you reattempt the approach or to conserve fuel and head for your alternate immediately.
12. HIGH ROLLER
Now that the weather has cleared, we depart Jersey to reattempt our arrival into Guernsey. At some point between takeoff and landing a random scenario will be generated, leaving you to deal with the situation alone. Use everything you have learnt and roll the dice in this unique experience.
FS ACADEMY - COMMANDER is accompanied by a complete ground school manual, covering a host of topics to boost your background knowledge before you take to the skies.
This is your moment

Your time has come…
Hi there,
As seen across all platforms, the launch of FS2024 has been problematic. Overloaded servers, error messages, extreme loading times, missing content and CTDs are all being reported. Under these circumstances we are currently finding it impossible to run the game or test any mission packs, a situation that many of you are also experiencing.
The Developer preview, which was made available in the weeks running up to launch day, did not allow the running of missions, so we were locked out of testing our products until launch day (NOV 19th).
In the meantime, please allow us some time to get things up and running and to learn what Microsoft has planned for our Flight Simulator 2020 content. We were not consulted regarding porting 2020 content across to the new game, but initially it appears as though any already owned packs will be shown in FS2024, but with a “2020” banner.
In summary, none of our packs should be considered as FS2024 compatible currently. Thank you for your patience whilst we all wait for Asobo and Microsoft to do their thing and sort out this mess.
Our MSFS 2024 info page will be updated as we learn more.
