We released a new pre-release test build (1.35.15.0) for the Sim Update 14 beta on Monday. You can read the release notes on our forums here. If you would like to enroll in the beta test (available for PC/MS Store, PC/Steam, and Xbox Series X|S), you can find instructions here.

Earlier today, we released an update (available from Content Manager) for Famous Flyer 7: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries MU-2. You can read the release notes here.

Our next Developer Livestream is scheduled for Wednesday, November 29 at 10:30am Pacific Standard Time (1830 UTC) on our official Twitch channel. Thank you to everyone who submitted questions in advance! We are currently reviewing all your submissions and tabulating the most commonly-asked questions.

While our panel will only be addressing serious questions during the livestream, we appreciated some of your more humorous submissions! There was one question in particular that we wanted to answer early. To the person who asked us to state the airspeed velocity of an unladen Cessna: according to the Pilot's Operating Handbook, the Cessna 172 has a never exceed speed of 163 knots, a cruise speed of 122 knots, and a maneuvering speed of 90 knots (at 1900 lbs gross weight). We hope this adequately answers your question!

Please note that there will not be a Marketplace update next week (Thursday, November 23). This date is the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, so most of the team will be out of office spending time with their families. The next Marketplace update will be on Thursday, November 30.
