Looks like this is THE update, with so many issues fixed Live weather fixed, AP fixed, performances improvements, loading time improvements, and much much more Thank you Asobo!

That's all I wanted

This simulator is giving us everything we want and more. Also, RIP whoever has to update the Microsoft Flight Simulator Location Map after this video...it's going to take a very long time. At least they put the airport name and location in the bottom right.

Flight Simulator X, released over ten years ago, included several default airlines, including Orbit Airlines, World Travel Airlines, Pacifica Airlines, etc. For purposes of nostalgia, I'm requesting that these default airlines make a return in the new version of Microsoft Flight simulator. Maybe even modernize and clean up their liveries a bit. What do you think?

Looks like FSX Steam got a beta update. Interestingly, this will somehow help the development of the new flight sim.

YES YES YES

We'll probably know next week (September 19th), because the dev roadmap says "Build Program - Tech Alpha Timeline". Edit: Not the alpha testers getting notified next week, I meant that we'll find out when testers will be notified next week.

Timestamps from the August 29th update thread show that the previous update was released around 7:30PM Eastern Standard Time (23:30 UTC)

Update threads for upcoming updates usually get locked until the update actually gets released. However, many people still want to discuss about expectations about upcoming updates, so I created this topic so that those people have a place to talk. After the update gets released, discussion can move to an "official" update thread. Until then, this is an open discussion thread about today's upcoming update. If any moderator thinks that this is a bad idea, feel free to shut this topic down. (Also keep the "Is the update out yet?" posts to a minimum)

"Insider home" now has screenshots, videos, and roadmap.

Better time compression No limits, even when on autopilot Fix large aircraft "wobbling" while time compression is on Better default aircraft (quality>quantity) Hi-res virtual cockpits Even though I said quality over quantity, a wider range of default aircraft would be appreciated Good performance on low end machines Better flight "replays" In FSX, the replays were extremely buggy (didn't work with some addons, if you were replaying to the ground then FSX would "slam" your aircraft onto the ground, etc.) More frequent recording "intervals" (in FSX, the time between recording intervals caused replays on smaller aircraft to seem janky) Have the replays work on flight surfaces (in FSX the replays did not record data on control surfaces, so if say you were pitching up everything would look weird since the elevators would stay still) Better multiplayer Do I even need to bring up how bad default FSX multiplayer is? Better default sounds Basically, just make the default vanilla experience better.
