Following the turbulent release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, its developers have been hard at work to improve the situation.
With Sim Update 1 already in beta and coming soon, and more updates on the horizon including the launch of the official marketplace, Microsoft and Asobo are determined to cement the simulator’s position as the best available on the market.
Yet, there is still work to do, and we had an interesting chat with Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann, who discussed the learnings from the release, the situation of the simulator as it is now, and the plans for the future.
Neumann talked about the official marketplace which will become available with Sim Update 1, and about the efforts made to fix bugs and get ready to implement new and cool features after the issues are addressed.
We also hear from iniBuilds CEO Ubaid Mussa, who is getting ready to release the Airbus A350, which is a highly-anticipated third-party add-on.
