The momentum was already with MSFS, but I am surprised the momentum picked up even further, a few months before the release of MSFS 2024.  Maybe some time in the future, we will have another short period of time where so many stellar releases come out for MSFS and it will even top these last 2 months, or the spring of 2022.

I expect/hope the momentum to continue raging into the end of the year with MSFS 2024 and all its new & updated aircraft, iniBuilds A350, FSL's initial MSFS offering, and various other aircraft in the pipeline. Also hoping against hope that FBW drop the initial alpha or whatever version of the A380 before eoy, but then again I remember reading somewhere this maybe won't happen till next year at the earliest. I guess we can say 2022 opened the floodgates for high fidelity aircraft for MSFS, and 2024 saw the refinement of these along with the first batch of modern widebody longhaulers. As GCBraun says above, even with MSFS 2020 as it stands now and all the current set of high fidelity aircraft available for it, it certainly feels feature-complete to me in terms of systems, flight dynamics, avionics, digital twin earth representation, etc (especially compared to early 2022). MSFS 2024 will only continue to raise the bar for all those categories.

It will be once the FBW A380 is released.

The term 'golden age of flight simming' is often used, but I believe we are in it right now, with more and better to come.

I was in flight simming for FSX, and then I was a away for flight simming for the 10 years before MSFS, but based on what other people have said (ie. your comment here), the strength of the 3rd party development scene for MSFS, the sheer number of freeware generated for MSFS in the last 4 years, and the money that some top 3rd party developers are making in MSFS (ie. PMDG, Aerosoft, iniBuilds, etc), it seems like right now is the "golden age of flight simming" because of MSFS.
