[VSKYLABS Development News] issued 23rd March 2026
Hello VSKYLABS Test-Pilots!
In the next hours, you may see RED messages in the SkunkCrafts Updater.
Do not panic, this is expected.
SkunkCrafts support has been discontinued across the entire VSKYLABS fleet.
IMPORTANT: VSKYLABS Product update philosophy has changed:
- Transition from on-going progressive updates to stable, more thorough updates.
- This means, larger updates, longer update intervals.
- No need to check the product version on a daily or weekly basis.
- Updates will be announced in advance, in all VSKYLABS channels (and there are many).
- No VSKYLABS customer will be left behind.
What happens next (updates):
All updates are now provided via your store account (latest package download).
Stay informed via:
- Join the VSKYLABS Briefings.
- VSKYLABS Aircraft Center.
- VSKYLABS Magazine.
- Follow your VSKYLABS aircraft product forum at the X-Plane.org
Documentation & Updates:
- Now centralized in the VSKYLABS Aircraft Center.
That includes Manuals, update change-logs and related documentation. - It is recommended to log into your store account and download the latest build (for updated internal structure and links).
Post-SkunkCrafts routine:
- Use the Aircraft Center as the primary reference.
- Check the VSKYLABS Magazine for announcements.
- Follow your VSKYLABS aircraft product forum at the X-Plane.org
This infrastructure update is part of setting a new VSKYLABS operational baseline, which includes higher product stability, consistency, and reliability.
All product packages have been updated. It is recommended to log into your store account and download the latest build!
Enjoy flying,
VSKYLABS
