For me the 1.9.21.0 update wasn't "silent"; it was 2.3 GB.

This occurred aboard a Wizz Air Malta A321-200N, operating flight W6-1736 from Gothenburg (Sweden) to Gdańsk (Poland). While at FL350, the First Officer experienced sudden stomach distress and went to the lavatory, where he lost consciousness. The captain declared a "Mayday" and requested that a cabin crew member occupy the First Officer’s seat in the cockpit. The captain continued the flight and landed safely at Gdańsk Airport. This substitution raises questions regarding flight safety: Is it appropriate to replace an incapacitated pilot with a flight attendant someone who, naturally, lacks any specific certification authorizing them to sit in the First Officer’s seat? Would it be better for airlines to provide at least one cabin crew member with a specific form of training or certification not to fly the aircraft, but to assist the "actual" pilot such as by handling communications with air traffic control, monitoring instruments, or relaying messages? Otherwise, the flight attendant would merely be a spectator in the "front row" not to mention that the captain’s workload might actually increase, as they would also have to ensure the flight attendant does not take any incorrect actions?

When launching MSFS2024, a 10.1 GB update appeared, but the download finished very quickly surprisingly fast for a file of that size. Afterward, MSFS2024 failed to load, displaying the standard message that appears when the server is down. The Xbox page indicated that the update had been applied; I launched the game again, and this time it loaded normally. The version remains 1.19.18.0.

I installed this modification yesterday, and during a test flight at night, everything worked perfectly, no flickering whatsoever while using DLSS. Today, however, the flickering appeared, but only during daylight hours; it did not occur at night. After extensive testing, I discovered that, in my case, the issue was caused by REX Atmos. I found that, with my specific configuration, the problem stemmed from the "Overall Light" setting in Atmos, which was set to 0. Once I changed this value back to the default (16), the flickering stopped.

...fortunately, it was a tuna! It happened in Rapallo (Italy)

We know that MSFS2024's graphics settings are heavily dependent on your available hardware ( CPU, SSD M.2, Gb and MHz RAM, memory GPU). To get an idea of the maximum graphics settings your hardware can support in MSFS2024, go to Settings > Advanced Options, enable Developer Mode, and then in menu at the top in Debug Display enable Display FPS. At the bottom of the window that appears, you can see the your RAM and GPU memory, as well as current usage during flight. If the loaded data , particularly in complex airport environments, approaches or exceeds your GPU's maximum available memory (indicated by the GPUMem value turning red), you may encounter the issues you described, such as prompts to lower your graphics settings. Generally, if this value remains white or yellow, you shouldn't experience stuttering. Keep in mind that, in addition to lowering graphics values like Volumetric Clouds and Texture Resolution, it is also important to adjust other parameters in the Graphics menu, specifically NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution, as DLSS can consume a significant amount of GPU memory. Another important setting is TLOD (Terrain Level of Detail). Fortunately, there is an excellent, well-known tool called the MSFS Auto FPS App by Reset XPDR. This app is particularly helpful for non-high-end PCs, as it automatically manages this parameter by adjusting texture loading, and consequently memory usage during flight.

Just a reminder that in MSFS2024, you can use this procedure to back up your control configuration as an .xml file and save it wherever you like: 1. Launch the simulator and go to Settings -> Controls. 2. Select the Keyboard (or any other peripheral). 3. Click the gear icon next to the custom profile name. 4. Select Export to save a clean .xml file directly to a folder of your choice (e.g., your Desktop), ready to be kept as a backup or shared. Here is the procedure for importing the saved .xml file into MSFS2024 if needed: 1. Launch Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and go to Settings → Controls. 2. Select the Keyboard from the list of peripherals on the left. 3. Navigate to the correct category at the bottom (e.g., General Controls or Airplane Controls). 4. Create an empty/duplicate profile (if necessary): The import option often requires an active, editable profile to already exist. If you only see the "Default" profile (which cannot be overwritten), click the gear icon next to the current profile name and select Duplicate to create an editable copy. 5. Click the gear icon next to the profile again and select Import. 6. A Windows dialog box will open: browse your folders, select the configuration .xml file you wish to load, and click Open. 7. The simulator will load the controls, and you will see the new imported profile name appear in the game. Remember to save before exiting.

He flew from 2009 to 2025 as Captain for Air Canada on Boeing 767s, 777s, and 787s, completing over 900 flights, but did not have an ATPL-A license. https://edition.cnn.com/2026/06/10/americas/air-canada-pilot-arrested

Lufthansa’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner (registration D-ABPQ) was delivered to the airline on January 16, 2026, and entered service on February 13, flying in the Allegris cabin configuration.

A Lufthansa Boeing 787-9, registration D-ABPQ performing flight LH-450 from Frankfurt/Main (Germany) to Los Angeles, CA (USA), was preparing for boarding of passengers at the gate, when all gear doors opened and the nose gear retracted. The aircraft fell onto its nose. A number of crew on board received injuries.

After installing SU5, I encountered no problems on the first flight, but on the second flight, frequent stutters began at cruising altitude, something I'd never experienced before, followed by a CTD. I decided to reinstall MSFS2024 and, after completing the same flights that had caused the stutters and CTD, I flew about a dozen more flights and haven't encountered any more problems.
