January 14Jan 14 Community, Let's be civil here. When do we expect the next version of Microsoft Flight Simulator to be released? Will it have a completely new engine? Tim
January 14Jan 14 Whenever it is, I will happily buy it. I'm not afraid of change. But to answer your question nobody knows, except a very small handful of people who aren't going to tell us so there is absolutely no point in speculating about it.

January 14Jan 14 Please no. Not anytime soon. The transition to 2024 has been hazardous and not even "done" yet. I love MSFS and fully on board with new technology/ideas but they should implement them in 2024 instead of moving to another new platform. Another moving target would be a disaster for 3rd party developers which are already spread thin between 2020 and 2024. Keep pumping WO & SU updates, add features back that was present in 2020 (Bush Trips), update and refine the marketplace to help them making their money out of it and hopefully that would be enough for Microsoft to keep investing in this current platform Real Life Flight Sim Pilot
January 14Jan 14 I certainly hope that they do not release a new version any earlier than 2028. New and improved is a great concept, but so is stability.

January 14Jan 14 I see no reason to assume we'll be seeing anything anytime soon. There's talk of next gen consoles being delayed due to high prices, and of course PC is severely impacted. Heck, I think it might be cheaper to buy a real airplane than a new PC at these prices. 😁 Even before the price increases, many people are still on lower spec PCs and haven't even moved to 2024 yet. It would seem to make much more sense to keep updating what we have now. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF
January 14Jan 14 Whenever the new version is released, i hope they actually learn from the 2024 fiasco, and the state it was launched in. And for once the 3rd party devs are involved early. This waiting a year to get the vastly improved aircraft in the sim, must be loosing them a fortune, and customers.

January 14Jan 14 Title is a bit misleading... I don't think we will see a new "version" any time soon. But I would certainly hope if we do it would need to come with some massive changes to make it worthwhile or that wasn't possible to do it's current setup.

Anyone who asks such nonsensical questions (because nobody here can answer them!) has made it onto my ignore list. They'll certainly find good company there.

January 14Jan 14 I don't know when it'll come out but next year? No. In any case, 2024 is now in a stable state and hasn't gotten it's first feature/content heavy sim update yet so I'm not ready to think about a sequel. 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.
January 14Jan 14 MS/ASOBO need to kep making money, so I anticipate the release of a new sim in 2028 and the bugs will be even worse than the 2024 ones. What they plan to do by way of improvements to make us part with our money again, we shall just have to see. I'm not sure they are making enough from the market place to sustain the title and regular updates - maybe I'm wrong.

January 14Jan 14 If I had to guess? 2028 at the earliest . 2026 is much too early considering that only now is the sun finally stable (and lots of bugs to fix yet). 2027 just doesn’t feel right- a three year cycle? Nah. Four years feels about right. all of this is pulled out of thin air, of course, I don’t actually know anything. 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen
