Sim Update 1 [1.3.23.0] Now Available | MSFS 2024

Sim Update 1 for MSFS 2024 is here! It brings stability and performance improvements, fixes many bugs (general, backward compatibility, and aircraft-specific), adds the Cessna 185F Skywagon, and optimizes various aircraft systems and avionics.

Here’s a breakdown of the changes:

Stability & Performance

Rare crashes during airport generation have been fixed.
A crash when selecting a livery after reloading the game has been fixed.
A crash when using the “Jump to” function at the beginning of an exam has been fixed.
A potential crash when turning VR mode on and off during a flight has been fixed.
“Bandwidth” has been renamed to “Download” in the DisplayFPS display.
The texture memory usage of WASM instruments has been optimized.
A crash when closing the game during package assembly has been fixed.
A crash has been fixed when many avatars meet online.
A crash on the Xbox has been fixed that could occur when accessing areas near the antemeridian.
Loading times for packages with many individual files have been improved.

General Bug Fixes

A problem has been fixed where the controller lost input when the user went into the advanced map filter levels, left the submenu, and then went back in.
A problem has been fixed where calling up the world map filter levels sometimes locked the user when switching to another page.
It has been fixed that community packages prevented streamed packages with the same name from being found by the sim.
Incorrect HUD color (purple/white instead of green) fixed on some aircraft.
Scene flickering on the Xbox has sometimes been fixed when memory usage is high.
An obscenity check for callsigns and flight numbers has been added in the aircraft configuration.
A bug has been fixed where non-selectable aircraft from different systems were not taken into account after assembly/disassembly or after a build package.
A problem has been fixed where calling up a “Fixed Camera” in the camera panel caused the camera to switch to the cockpit view when the same panel was opened again.
The display range of multiplayer name tags has been set to low.
A UI rendering problem of elements outside their frame has been fixed.
It has been fixed that Deluxe/Premium/Aviator content was not streamed when the game was first started.
The camera panel no longer forces the cockpit view when it is opened.
Swapped colors between offline and online friends fixed.
Missing music in Legacy Discovery flight activities fixed.
It has been fixed that the CLOCK_HOURS/MINUTES_INC/DEC events did not behave as expected.
Several time-related issues have been fixed, e.g. that the ZULU/CLOCK SET events did not behave as expected.
It has been fixed that the real time was used instead of the flight time when switches were initialized (fixes lighting problems when starting a flight with a sim time that differs from the real time).
It has been fixed that community packages in content.xml were duplicated every time they were started. Already existing duplicates will be removed from the file when starting.
The screen illumination under heavy cloud cover has been increased.

Backward Compatibility Fixes

It has been fixed that the outside light from FS2020 aircraft shone into the cockpit when it was displayed in FS2024.
It has been fixed that the wrong font was selected when XML instrument elements were rendered.
Forced 2024 SimVar AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR to return a very high value when requested by a 2020 Sim (can happen when referencing an instrument that has been updated in 2024).
It has been fixed that textures referenced in FX files were not loaded correctly when the package was streamed.
Emission brightness fixed.

Aircraft

New aircraft: the Cessna 185F Skywagon from Carenado.
The grouping of 2020 aircraft with an empty icao_model in the Aircraft Selector/Configurator has been improved.
