With August now in the rearview mirror, many of you will be returning to school for the new year or starting college. For those studying an aviation-related field, we wish you the best of luck and hope your experiences with Microsoft Flight Simulator will serve you well in your educational endeavors.

Sim Update 10 beta testing continues. Thank you to everyone on PC and Xbox who have been testing last week’s 1.27.17.0 build and posting feedback and bug reports on the forums. Your feedback truly is invaluable to the dev team.

Finally, today’s Marketplace update includes the Carenado PC12. You can read more about this versatile plane, the world’s most success single-engine turboprop, over at Xbox Wire. You can also watch a trailer video below.
