Would it be possible to also include what planes use the soft body simulation? The Default C172 (G1000) does for example.

Would be possible, but currently I didnât see any devolper mentioning the usage of soft body simulation.
But if there are a few we can list them as well.
Yeah, me neither except for Asoboâs Cessna 172 (G1000) but you could list that one at least and add it to the title. But who knows? Maybe there are more than we think.

Alright I changed the title and listed it as well.
There is also a video link in the OP where Seb explains the soft body simulation in more detail.
He also mentioned that the Helicopters gonna use this feature.
So thank you for the idea, itâs fairly easy to enable this feature and there are surely a few airplanes out there with it. So everybody please feel free to comment if you know any.

Thank you very much sir. I hope they can directly link it to wing flex one day.

Just flew the C172 G1000 and it was awesome, NPS+CFD+SBS is king! That mightâve been the closest feeling to real world GA flying Iâve experienced in a sim to date. Awesome tech, canât wait to see it used in more aircraft. Iâve got payware addons but I think Iâll be sticking to this default C172 G1000 variant for a while lol. Credit to the devs, really nice work.

GotFriend Discus-2c Standard as CFD since the last update (2.0.5).
Obviously for a glider it donât have NPS.

What about the FES version? 
No information about NPS on this version, so I suppose it donât use it yet
I kinda didnât really understand what soft body simulation is in a short and simple sentence. Can somebody chime in familiar with the topic?
The surface of an aircraft can bent (more or less, depending the part)
and this bending motion results in a little bit more drag, for example when changing direction or flying through windy conditions.
Depending on the airframe this can be very settle or a little bit more.

where did they post this? canât find anything on their homepage about this update
Thatâs from the notification mail for the new update. Here is the full changelog:
Flight Model
- Implementation of full CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) including tuned CFD ground effect
- Improved Adverse Yaw
- Rudder, aileron and elevator fine-tuning
- Tuned dive recovery flaps
- Tuned elevator trim
Ground Handling
- Free castering nosewheel steering, augmented with custom rudder/propwash code (steer with rudder/propwash, differential breaking and/or differential thrust)
- Suspension re-tuning (lower static compression)
- General ground handling fine-tuning
- Fixed tailstrike after pushback issue
Cockpit
- Ground roll and engine vibration animation for the Yoke, RPM needles and MP needles
- New yoke animation based on actual control surface deflections
- GPS on/off function using COM1 volume knob
- GPS dimmable using the Glareshield Instrument rheostat
- Modern pilot visibility during zoom fixed
Engine and Propeller
- Prop RPM at higher altitudes can reach much lower RPMs
- Fuel consumption tuned
- New Lean/Rich fuel consumption logic giving correct consumption at all configurations
- Carb icing now depends on cloud density
- Slightly increased thrust during take-off roll
Tablet
- Added Workshop tab
- Added Hobbs meters to the Live Data tab
Others
- Fixed MSFS Checklist highlight issues

Keeping topic alive. Thanks for making it OP!
The P38 landing behavior with CFD is superb.

Is this list up to date? Doesnât SWS Kodiak use CFD?
As it clearly says in the OP, âif you know any aircraft which is not in the list, feel free to commentâ
And no the Kodiak doesnât use CFD, at least I canât see it in any feature description.
Kodiak is not CFD, and the devs are not interested.
This is though: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/FhLXEV5ytXA
