In response to the stability and avionics issues on Xbox and PS5 introduced in Sim Update 5, we’ve prepared a new update (1.7.28.0) for all platforms.
We are actively investigating the core memory and avionics issues affecting both Xbox and PS5. While we believe this update may improve stability for some players, an important part of flighting this update is gathering additional community data and feedback so we can continue identifying and addressing other underlying causes.
Rather than an immediate release to the public, we’ve chosen to flight this update to benefit from community feedback and ensure the reported issues have been thoroughly addressed. We encourage all flighting participants to share their feedback and complete the surveys accompanying the update on the official Microsoft Flight Simulator forums.
The Sim Update 6 Beta will begin in the weeks following the release of this update to the public.
You can read the full release notes for test build 1.7.28.0 here. If you would like to join the optional public test, you can find instructions for all platforms (PC-MS Store, PC-Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStaiton 5) on our forums here. For everyone participating in the beta, we encourage you to please complete the feedback surveys for your platform by voting in the polls here.
Thank you for your patience as we work to address these issues.
