May 2nd, 2024 Development Update

Public beta testing for the upcoming Sim Update 15 continues with two new builds released to opt-in community testers this week. On Monday, we released test build 1.37.15.0, and on Wednesday we released test build 1.37.16.0 which added a small number of other changes.

Please note that we are aware that the .15 test build introduced a bug that is preventing third-party add-on aircraft which use WASM from functioning correctly on Xbox. We are working to have this issue resolved in the next beta build. We are also carefully tracking feedback from Xbox testers who have reported that performance and stability has decreased in .15 compared to the previous .13 test build.

Last week, third-party developer Just Flight released the PA-38 Tomahawk for both PC and Xbox. This add-on plane has been receiving great reviews from simmers thus far, and yesterday our Community Manager SeedyL (a licensed pilot who completed his real-world PPL training on a Tomahawk) hosted a livestream on Twitch with developers Martyn and Mark from Just Flight to demonstrate the features of this single engine GA plane. In case you missed it live, you can watch the VOD on Twitch here.
