We started the week by launching a pre-release test build (1.35.13.0) of the upcoming [b]Sim Update 14[/b]. If you'd like to read a list of the bug fixes and other improvements in this build, please see [url=https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/sim-update-14-beta-release-notes-1-35-13-0-october-30-2023/613872]our forum post here[/url].Thank you to all the volunteer community members who have enrolled in the beta and helped identify bugs and issues! If you would like to opt in to the pre-release test, you [url=https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/read-first-welcome-to-the-sim-update-14-beta/562534]can find instructions here[/url].
The beta is open to all players on PC/MS Store, PC/Steam, and Xbox Series X|S.The biggest issue we have noted from SU_14 testers so far is a regression that was causing Assistance settings to reset to default whenever launching the sim. The dev team has identified the cause of this bug and will resolve it in a future SU_14 beta build.
On Tuesday, we launched the latest aircraft from our [b]Famous Flyers[/b] series: [url=https://www.flightsimulator.com/microsoft-flight-simulator-releases-famous-flyer-7-the-mitsubishi-heavy-industries-mu-2/]Mitsubishi Heavy Industries MU-2[/url]. Created by developer iniBuilds, this beautiful twin engine turboprop from Japan is sure to provide sim pilots with a thrilling flying experience. The MU-2 is available now from the in-sim Marketplace for USD $14.99.
Coming up next week are two more new releases! [b]World Update 15: Northern Europe & Greenland[/b] and [b]Local Legend 13: Saab B 17[/b]. Both are scheduled to launch on Tuesday, November 7. Also launching on Tuesday alongside the new World Update will be improved versions of both [b]World Update 11: Canada[/b] and [b]World Update 12: New Zealand[/b].
All these releases and more are noted in the newly-updated [b]Development Roadmap[/b] below. Another highlight on the Roadmap is our next [b]Developer Livestream[/b]!
