Today Microsoft released an update for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, numbered 1.1.10.0.
The update brings fixes to several causes of crashes and also helps jetways work properly. Considering how long problems with jetways have persisted in the original Microsoft Flight Simulator, it’s almost shocking to see them properly stick to aircraft no matter how you move the camera.
Below you can read the full patch notes. Incidentally, we already know that another, larger patch will be released next week.
Stability & Performance
- Fixed a crash that could occur when navigating fast between the challenges.
- Fixed a crash when trying to adjust Tobii Eye Tracker hardware in the settings menu.
- Fixed various crashes.
General Bug Fixes
- Fixed remaining broken jetways.
- Updated the message asking the player to link the Steam account.
- Fixed unloading/reloading of WASM gauges upon restarting a flight.
SDK
JS API
- Traffic GUID object was broken due to the value being encoded in 64 bits which can not be handled in Javascript. The value is now in 32 bits.
Aircraft
- Fixed impact damage threshold for the contact points of the basket that was causing a back-on-track loop that hardlocked the game for hot air balloon and FlyDOO.
Aircraft tech
Model behavior
- Fixed a crash when hovering interactions only defining an event_id and a tooltip (backward compatibility with FSX simple interactions).
Flow/Progression
- Fixed a bug when leaving flight while in slew mode.
MyLibrary
- Added tags on disabled items to better reflect why they are disabled.
- Added a tag to warn the player if an item has not been verified by the creator.
