May 22nd, 2025 Development Update
Yesterday, we hosted our latest Developer Livestream on Twitch. Martial was unfortunately absent due to vacation, but in his place we welcomed Chris Burnett of Working Title to join the regular panel of Jorg and Seb. Together, they discussed many topics relating to the future of both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) while also answering many questions from the community (both pre-submitted before the broadcast and asked by players live in Twitch chat). If you missed the livestream, you can watch the VOD on our YouTube channel below.
Also during the last week, we began the pre-release public beta tests for both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Sim Update 3 and Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) Sim Update 16. You can find the release notes on our forums linked below:
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 SU3 Beta Build 1.5.1.0 (May 16, 2025)
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 SU3 Beta Build 1.5.2.0 (May 21, 2025)
Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) SU16 Beta Build 1.39.0.0 (May 19, 2025)
As you can see, the dev team has been very hard at work delivering many bug fixes and improvements to two different fight simulators. Our focus on these sim updates means we regrettably will not be able to attend FlightSimExpo 2025 in Providence, Rhode Island this year.
We immensely enjoyed our time at FSExpo 2023 and 2024 in Houston and Las Vegas where we had the opportunity to meet with so many of you and discuss our shared passion for flight simulation. While we sadly will not have a presence at FSExpo 2025, we encourage everyone who is able to attend the event to meet many other simmers and representatives of the wonderful third-party developers and hardware vendors who are making great things for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
