RELEASE NOTES Sim Update 7.2 - 1.9.24.0 If you are playing on PC, outdated packages in your community folder may have an unexpected impact on the title's performance and behavior. If you suffer from stability issues or long loading times, move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title. General Bug Fixes Fixed loading of BMP files used by XML gauges on PS5 Reverted a change to drag simulation calculations to the pre-SU7 version to ensure backwards compatibility with certain third-party add-on aircraft. [Aerodynamics] Fixed an issue where helicopters can experience excessive RPM and unexpected lift when the Turbulence setting in Assistances was set to Realistic. [UI] Fixed an issue where the values in the in-flight Camera menu were not being correctly read / set. Aircraft Fixed an issue that caused aircraft using Bleed Air Starters (B737, F18, …) to sometimes be unable to start their engines when the air temperature has been setup to be quite low. DevMode Fixed exterior profiling randomly using wrong camera angles in SimObject Profiler. SDK [SDK] Fixed a crash that occurs when “custom simconnect events with numerical id” are used with F:KeyEvent. WASM API Fixed WASM function fsNetworkHttpRequestGetState returning an 8-bit enum value as 32-bit without clearing the upper 24-bits on PS5 Invia commenti

Downloads continue to occur when I launch MSFS24. Following the update to version 1.9.21.0, I encountered another 10 GB update upon launching the sim yesterday, while today there was a 150 MB update though I’m not sure if the latter is related to the Poland and Baltic update, which I activated via "My Library." The version number remains the same.

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.

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.

In this video, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang responds to a reporter who asked him what he thought of the criticism raised after the announcement of the release of DLSS 5 this fall:

NVIDIA announced at GDC the release of DLSS 5 this fall, introducing a real-time neural rendering model that "enrichs pixels with photorealistic lighting and materials." It also announced the release with a video:

John Spitzer, vice president of Developer & Performance Technology at NVIDIA, presented its technology roadmap for the future of gaming GPUs at the Game Developers Conference 2026, announcing extremely ambitious goals for graphics rendering. According to the company, future graphics cards could achieve up to 1,000,000x improvement in path tracing performance compared to older architectures, leveraging artificial intelligence, RTX technologies, and new algorithms to continue improving real-time graphics in video games.

Update 0.7.6 : https://flightsim.to/file/102093/lrop-bucharest-henri-coanda-international-airport-2025

I thought I was the only one having these problems, which started on January 28th. But today something strange happened, and I don't know if it's a coincidence, Windows 11 updates, or if the server has started working again. I remembered that on January 27th, I installed the Windows 11 KB5078127 update, but I only started MSFS 2024 on January 28th, and I couldn't play because the loading screen remained at 0%, and I received error 002-902 twice, after several minutes. Yesterday, even after several minutes of waiting, 24 started up, and I was able to fly normally. Today, the loading was still at 0% again, and this is where what I called a coincidence happened. Either the W11 updates had something to do with it, or the server started working again. After installing the W11 KB5074105 preview update, MSFS 2024 started up normally. Mine started at 9-10%, and I tried starting it 5 times without any problems, within the usual loading time.
