January 5, 20242 yr JANUARY 4TH, 2024 – DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Posted by: Microsoft Flight Simulator Team This week’s Screenshot Challenge winner is Forum user ZKd0s! If you’re interested in participating in our weekly Screenshot Challenges, check out the details in the Community section below! Happy new year! Our team has returned to work following the holiday break refreshed and recharged. We hope everyone in our player community had a relaxing, peaceful, and safe holiday season. In case you missed it, we had a few new releases just before the end of 2023: City Update V: European Cities I and Famous Flyer 8: Cessna T207A Turbo Stationair both launched on December 19th. We also have an ongoing optional stability test currently available for players on the Xbox platform. If you’re an Xbox simmer and would like to help the development team diagnose memory-related crashes so they can be resolved in a future build, please see this forum topic for instructions on how to enroll in this optional beta. We’ve got a huge year coming up, and we can’t wait to share many exciting announcements with you throughout 2024! As always, please continue reading this weekly blog post for all the latest news about Microsoft Flight Simulator. – MSFS Team FEEDBACK SNAPSHOT Click here for the web-friendly version of the Feedback Snapshot.
