Its Thursday, so another Microsoft Flight Simulator update has been dropped on the normal blog website. While this is a shorter update, we do get an alpha update, a general development update, and lots more screenshots of the sim.

Starting with the general development update, the team has said that in early April, a new feedback snapshot will be released, showing updated feedback. Also coming in mid April will be a partnership series update. While no news on who it will be with, we will for sure post about it when it is released. Lastly, coming in late April to early May will be episode 8 of the feature discovery series, which will cover IFR in the sim.
Alpha Update
As reported yesterday, the latest build of the Alpha was released, bringing the version to 1.2.5.0. The team is currently focused on getting any issues with the released of the Alpha fixed, which the team expect to take about a week. The team asks that those in the Alpha to check the Alpha forums for the latest requests.
Alpha invitations are currently on hold as the team gets everything worked out with the latest Alpha. This is what they are planning on doing for the next week.
- Ensure that everyone that received an acceptance email has access to the Alpha.
- Assess Alpha participation options for adding more people as quickly as possible.
