Earlier this week, there was the launche of Aircraft & Avionics Update 3 (AAU3)! This release enhances three aircraft: the Airbus A310-300, Airbus A320neo V2, and Pilatus PC-6 Porter. To see what was improved for each plane, you can read the full release notes here. They also released the latest Navdata update (AIRAC cycle 2410) this week. Both AAU3 and the navdata update are installed automatically upon launching the sim. (And some bug fixes)
And last Wednesday, there was the second of the weekly Developer Livestreams leading up to and following the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 next month. This livestream featured Jorg and three members of the Software Development Kit (SDK) team from Asobo. While the primary intended audience for this session was third-party developers who make add-on products for the sim, regular players may also find the information from the broadcast interesting.
If you missed seeing it live, you can watch it back here on YouTube:
Some of the covered topics include:
- What are the new and enhanced features in the SDK developers can use when making aircraft and airports?
- Can players use third-party add-on aircraft in Career Mode?
- Approximately how much developer effort is required to upgrade a Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) add-on to use the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 SDK?
- And much more!
