February 22, 20242 yr FEBRUARY 22ND, 2024 – DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Posted by: Microsoft Flight Simulator Team This week’s Screenshot Challenge winner is Twitter user @vp_sim! If you’re interested in participating in our weekly Screenshot Challenges, check out the details in the Community section below! Earlier today, we released a new beta build for those players enrolled in the optional Sim Update 15 (SU_15) public test. You can see the release notes on our forums here. Please note that this build contains a few known issues that will be resolved prior to the full release of SU_15, so please read the notes carefully. Also, we released an unrelated small update to players on both the regular release build and the SU_15 beta build today. This patch contains updated navdata for AIRAC cycle 2402 and the first round of improved airports from community-sourced fixes using the World Hub tool! Simmers can expect to see regular updates to airports from the World Hub in the coming weeks and months. Last but certainly not least, at the recent red carpet premiere of Dune: Part Two in London, the Microsoft Flight Simulator team was there to showcase the Dune Expansion. Stars of the upcoming film including Timothée Chalamet and Souheila Yacoub plus composer Hans Zimmer had a chance to fly the Royal Atreides Ornithopter in a life-size replica cockpit! Check out our video footage of the premiere below, and watch Dune: Part Two from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures only in cinemas on March 1! https://www.instagram.com/p/C3qPjJDPssB/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=embed_video_watch_again – MSFS Team FEEDBACK SNAPSHOT Click here for the web-friendly version of the Feedback Snapshot.

This week, we depart from London, take a quick tour of Southend-on-Sea in Essex, fly up the coast to Norwich, then cross the North Sea to the Netherlands. Our full-stop landing will be at the next of the world capital cities we’ll visit, Amsterdam. Event details are available here. All are welcome to participate! TUBELINER TUESDAY Tubeliner Tuesday returns next week as we visit South America for the first time! Operating the Boeing 747-8, Community Manager Matt “Chewwy” will once again set a new challenge as we attempt to operate the Queen of the Skies into Quito, Ecuador. Quito is one of the most iconic destinations in the world due to the elevation of the airport (7910ft above sea level to be exact), and the surrounding mountainous terrain. We will be flying on the VATSIM Multiplayer Network for those who wish to join! Event details are available here. COMMUNITY VIDEO It’s already been over one week since the free Dune Expansion released for Microsoft Flight Simulator, and we’ve seen a plethora of great content made by the community as they try to complete all of the tutorials and challenges. We thought we would showcase a slightly different kind of video in this week’s Dev Update. In this fascinating interview, Dr. Jane Wang of the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University describes the physics behind the Dune Ornithopter and its inspiration from nature. We hope this insightful discussion helps you to appreciate the complexity behind such an aircraft next time you take a flight around Arrakis in Microsoft Flight Simulator!
