Brandon Jaeger from Got Friends announced that Microsoft's upcoming Flight Simulator 2024 will feature a single-engine airplane that is 'completely customizable,' highlighting STOL's growing significance in aviation.
Tom Wolf noted that STOL skills have historical roots in both barnstorming and military operations, with competitive STOL growing since the 1970s, culminating in events like the National STOL competitions.
Highlighting the geographical relevance, Wolf mentioned that STOL is particularly popular in areas like Alaska and Colorado, where access is limited, allowing pilots to land in unconventional locations.
Wolf revealed that STOL competitions have expanded into the digital space, with players competing in Microsoft Flight Simulator, blending real-world skills and simulation technology for a new generation.
