Glareshield Studio is developing Right Seat, an AI first officer for the iFly 737 MAX 8 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-13 issue.

For: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 pilots flying the iFly 737 MAX 8
Worth noticing: The studio says its gallery images are frames from recorded simulator flights, not renders.

Field notes

The feature list describes a cockpit-focused workflow: pilots can speak to Sam, use checklists tied to actual switches, and have the assistant work through a separate CDU. The studio also says it tests add-ons on full flights and reviews flight logs between iterations. Right Seat is marked in testing, and the homepage says the private beta is next; it cautions that the product is for flight simulation, never real-world aviation.
