Next week (9th – 16th March 2015) we are planning to release an update for Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition into open beta. The open beta will run for seven days and allow players to provide feedback about the updated before it is released through Steam to all FSX: Steam Edition players. The beta is open to everyone, however you will need to own FSX: Steam Edition to take part.

We will be publishing further details regarding the open beta and the exact content of the update over the next few days.

Please note you must update FSUIPC for it to work with this update. You can do this here.
