A new update for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has been released for those using the Sim Update 1 beta build. Version 1.3.19.0 is relatively small in terms of the number of patch notes but is one step closer to bringing out the full public release of the anticipated Sim Update.
As you can see from the notes below, there are only a handful of changes related to the simulator, plus a few things within the SDK itself. All-in-all, these are progressive steps towards a more stable release for the general public.
Sim Update 1 for Microsoft Flight Simulator did have an anticipated February 18th 2025 release, but this was pushed back in the last development blog update. No new ETA has been shared at this point, but as usual, we will keep you posted.
Below are the release notes for the new beta. As a reminder, if you have items in your ‘Community’ folder, then you should remove or rename it in order to ensure the update runs smoothly.
