General Bug Fixes

  • Several VR fixes:
    • Authorized the toolbar in VR in external view
    • Saved the state of panels when switching between VR and not VR
    • Plugged in the aircraft HUD in VR, it is de-activatable with the options as it is outside of VR

  • Fixed an issue causing black arrows to be displayed in numeric fields of the EFB.

Marketplace

  • Fixed Marketplace being inaccessible after long game sessions

Virtual Reality

  • Fixed Broken VelocityBuffer blurring anything in the right eye sky.

Finally, this week marks the one year anniversary of the launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The team has remained hard at work over the past year, delivering

  • three Sim Updates (and a fourth SU coming soon),
  • two World Updates,
  • two City Updates,
  • and several new aircraft.

Development is not stopping anytime soon, though! they look forward to continually improving the sim as they enter Year Two of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
