December 19, 20196 yr December 19th, 2019 – Development Update POSTED BY: MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR TEAM HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Screenshot credit – U/TomMaverick7650 On behalf of the entire MSFS team, we wish you and your loved ones the very best this holiday season. As we bring 2019 to a close, we are incredibly grateful for everyone that has joined us on this adventure of developing the next generation of Microsoft Flight Simulator! We’ve taken some memorable steps with you in 2019, and we cannot wait to continue this adventure with you in 2020. The best is yet to come! MEDIA UPDATE This week we’d like to spotlight a few user submitted screenshots from Tech Alpha! Screenshot credit – U/z32ands30 Screenshot credit – U/rwflush Screenshot credit – U/NotoriousBPG Screenshot credit – U/SebastianShain Screenshot credit – U/rwflush Screenshot credit – U/NotoriousBPG SDK UPDATE SDK – Preview Version release moved back to mid-January. SDK – Official V1 release expected March 2020. We’ve made great progress on the SDK in recent weeks and are confident that an initial preview version will be ready as early as mid-January. The preview version will allow interested 3rd party developers to have a first look at the SDK, provide feedback and send requests / wishes to help us prioritize the work moving forward (similar to the Tech Alpha process).This is by no means an official V1 release – we expect that to be ready March 2020. FEEDBACK SNAPSHOT We’ve posted the first draft of the Feedback Snapshot in the Insider Area! This document is still being worked on so expect another update in a few weeks that contains additional information regarding the progress being made on each entry. Next update – 01.09! Sincerely, Microsoft Flight Simulator Team

December 19, 20196 yr You saw it here first. What Microsoft has been showing is what people are running on their PCs. Awesome! P3Dv4 + XP11 MFS
December 19, 20196 yr I like the outside cam UI, that will be handy as long as we can easily toggle it on and off. And wow at that mountain desert shot!
December 19, 20196 yr Brings a tear to my eye. Gads, that icing screenshot looks absolutely stunning! 2020 here we come!

December 19, 20196 yr Author It's lovely that they gave us a peek into what users are experiencing in the Tech Alpha, makes it easier for us who are not in. Hopefully this will eliminate any doubts that the simulator can look this good on consumer systems. HUD looks great too, an evolution from Microsoft Flight (though I hope a minimal version like that will be an option too).
December 19, 20196 yr The glaciers look gorgeous, but I wonder if they're actually 3D or just orthophoto? Jehan Kateli

Definitely looks like there is some tessellation at work there, adding lots of little details to the ice. It has to be my favourite out of the set released today. I can't wait to do some scenic flights around New Zealand, exploring all the glaciers. P3Dv4 + XP11 MFS

December 19, 20196 yr Am I the only one happy to see performance is not one of the top issues? 🙂 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.
