They're listed as just having 8 minutes, so it's not going to be much

I am afraid it will be mostly the new Forza Motorsport, Age of Empires, Diablo etc. the focus is mainly xbox games. their largest xbox booth ever. 8 topics in 8 minutes leaves 1 minute for Flightsimulator:

This scheduled 8 minutes slot is specifically for "Microsoft Flight Simulator" per the schedule. Though would be great to get more details about MSFS 2024, I think likely it'll be about the 3 year anniversary and maybe some new stuff for v2020.

No there's a specific time schedule, it says ~8 minutes for MSFS.

Forza isn't even mentioned. Please keep up.

Edit: looks like it has started a bit early.

Their session started early... showed a trailer for Europe City Update including Cologne airport, and German local legend Dornier (fitting for the Gamescom 2023 host location I guess). Just a very short mention of v2024 and how they'll be showing it at Gamescom next year. I presume we won't start seeing more previews of it until fall of this year at the earliest.

Yeah including EDDK.

lot less news than what we had already, as I was expecting. except that the MSFS user base has grown from 10 to 12 million.

I wonder if London will be included in the cities update. It wasn‘t shown in the trailer but there’s new photogrammetry in Bing Maps. 

i9-11900K, RTX 4090, 32 GB ram, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, TCA Airbus sidestick and quadrant, Reverb G2

so I am late and we are at AoE4 already?

 

EDIT realized I can scroll back to min31 or so when Joerg starts. besides the trailer below not too much news. except 12 mio unique MSFS users. and 500 developers working on MSFS2024
