In the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator development update, we learned of a very busy month ahead for Microsoft and Asobo teams. By the sounds of it, they plan on doing three major things within the community over the next month.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Sim Update 16 Beta
Starting with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, the teams have announced that a new flighting will begin for Sim Update 16 very soon. This new beta build will bring with it a range of improvements to the last-generation simulator. Microsoft promised that MSFS 2020 would still get updates even post-release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and this is them making good on that.
The specifics of what will be included in this update are not yet known, but we are told that we’ll have to stay tuned for more information.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Sim Update 3 Beta Starts Tomorrow/Today
Despite Sim Update 2 only rolling out yesterday, Microsoft is ready to release a new beta build for those who want to try Sim Update 3 early. Full specifics on the beta build will be shared when it’s officially out.
Live Dev Q&A – Happening Next Week
On Wednesday, May 21st at 10:30 PST, Microsoft will be joined by Asobo Studio and Working Title to talk about recent flight simulator updates, what is coming next, and to answer community questions. Jorg Neumann (Microsoft) and Sebastian Wloch (Asobo Studio) will be joined by Chris Burnett (Working Title) to talk about all things flight simulator live on Twitch.
We will do our best to recap the stream as soon as possible afterwards, and of course, inform you of the new Sim Updates once they are made available.
