Earlier today, we released an update to Expert Series 01: ATR 42-600/72-600. This update is available to download via the in-sim Content Manager, and you can read the release notes on our forums here.

On Wednesday of this week, we hosted the second developer livestream to feature the creators of new aircraft launching with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. This time, the panel consisted of developers from Got Friends, MilTech Simulations, and Hype Performance Group demoing seven new aircraft. First up, Got Friends showed three airplanes and two gliders: the AeroElvira Optica, Draco X, and Zlin Aviation Savage Norden and the Pipistrel Taurus M and Stemme S12G gliders. Next, MilTech Simulations gave an extensive preview of the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, a new plane that is sure to delight fans of military transport aircraft. Finally, Hype Performance Group ended the livestream with a demonstration of the Airbus H225 helicopter. All you rotary wingnuts out there (hi Sergio!) will love flying this beautiful bird on passenger transport missions to offshore oil platforms.

In case you missed it, last week we shared a full recording of the presentation from September's Global Preview Event at the Grand Canyon. This presentation was delivered by several members of the development team to invited members of the media and flight simulation creator community and covers many of the new features and improvements coming in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. We hope you enjoy watching it to learn more about MSFS2024 ahead of its launch in 26 days!
