The Microsoft Flight Simulator team had a fantastic time at FlightSimExpo 2024 in Las Vegas last weekend! Whether you were one of the thousands of simmers who attended the event live or you were able to follow the various product reveals and announcements from your home, we hope you enjoyed the festivities from the expo. We can't thank the FSExpo organizers enough for making us feel welcome at the event, and, of course, we were incredibly humbled and grateful to meet so many Microsoft Flight Simulator fans over the weekend.

In case you missed it, our team presented two seminars during the expo.  On Saturday, Jorg and Seb spoke at length about the upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and personally introduced many of the development partners who will be assisting Microsoft and Asobo in creating our next generation sim. If you missed the presentation or want to watch it again, you can find it on YouTube here:

On Sunday, Julie, Mabel, and Todd from our Marketplace team delivered a presentation in which they revealed some data analytics from the MSFS2020 Marketplace and also previewed some new changes coming with the MSFS2024 Marketplace. The primary audience for this seminar was third-party developers, but regular simmers may also find the presentation interesting, too. You can watch it on YouTube here:

With all the excitement about MSFS2024, we'd forgive you if you forgot that we're still supporting MSFS2020 as well! Next week, we'll be launching our next City Update! City Update 09: United States Northeast is scheduled for release on July 2, just in time for the USA's Independence Day holiday!
