Microsoft has released the Anniversary Livery Collection for Flight Simulator 2024, featuring special aircraft liveries celebrating Xbox's 25th anniversary. Technically, a livery can be applied using paint or a vinyl wrap, both of which are used on real aircraft. That distinction makes no difference in the virtual world, however.
The newly "painted" aircraft include a Boeing 737 MAX, recognizable by the chevrons on its engine nacelles. Those looking for something sportier can fly the wheeled variant of the XCub, which features an Xbox logo.
There is also a hot air balloon, while fans of non-rigid airships can take a leisurely flight in the Skyship 600. The Livery Collection is available to download through the in-game marketplace in Flight Simulator 2024.
I’ve been involved in the IT business for over 20 years, first as a Sysadmin (Mac & PC; 2000-2014) and then as a journalist (2005 onwards). I have attended many industry events, such as IDF, Displayweek, Computex, CES, and IFA, to cover subjects like mobile and local networks, Bluetooth standards, and developments in the mobile sector. Since 2017 I have also worked as an aviation journalist, which involves traveling around the world reporting about both planes and trains.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
