MSFS – Development update October 31, 2024

On October 30st was the latest Developer Livestream.  Jorg was joined by three members of the SDK team at Asobo to answer some of the most common questions they have seen from third party developers since the start of the Dev Alpha last week.
Also appearing on the stream were three members of Microsoft’s Marketplace team to discuss some upcoming changes to the Marketplace in the new sim. And of particular note to fans of military aircraft is a new policy change: visible but non-functional weapons will now be permitted on aircraft sold via the in-sim Marketplace.

If you missed the broadcast live while it happened, you can watch the stream here on via YouTube:
