Weekly Recap
Earlier this week we released Aircraft and Avionics Update 06!
This update brings enhancements and improvements to five aircraft from German manufacturers. Existing owners of these aircraft will receive this upgrade for free in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. If you do not yet own these aircraft, they can be purchased from the in-sim Marketplace for USD $14.99 each.
The updated aircraft in AAU_06 are:
Junkers F 13: the world’s first transport aircraft to feature an all-metal construction
Junkers Ju 52: an iconic passenger and cargo aircraft affectionately known as “Tante Ju” (Aunt Ju)
Dornier Do X: the largest, heaviest, and most powerful hydroplane ever to take to the sky
Dornier Do J Wal: a twin engine flying boat famous for pioneering flights to the North Pole and across the South Atlantic
Dornier Do 31: a revolutionary VTOL transport from the Cold War
Also this week, we brought the super heavy Airbus BelugaXL to Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)! Previously only available to MSFS 2024, pilots, simmers on MSFS (2020) can now find this highly-specialized cargo aircraft in the in-sim Marketplace for USD $19.99.
Today was the monthly navdata update, with simmers on both MSFS 2024 and MSFS (2020) receiving an automatic update to AIRAC Cycle (2610). Additionally, as part of the navdata update, MSFS 2024 also received updated versions of several airports. You can find the full list of fixes on our forums here.
Last but not least, public testing of the Sim Update 7 Beta remains ongoing. As always, if you are participating in the beta, please be sure to vote in the forum surveys and submit bug reports on our forums if you encounter any issues.
