Release Notes - [1.2.7.0] Available Now
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 update 1.2.7.0 includes the ability to enable/disable Marketplace 2020 ported content on a per-item basis. To ensure that you have full control over your own library, available non-Microsoft ported content is disabled by default so you can choose what to have active in the simulator.
After taking update 1.2.7.0, aircraft that was previously available to select will need to be enabled in My Library to become visible again. More Marketplace 2020 ported content will be made available soon.
Note: Initial loading into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Xbox Series X | S may take longer than normal due to the deactivating of Marketplace 2020 ported content.
If you are playing on PC, outdated packages in your Community Folder may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behavior.
If you suffer from stability issues or long loading times, move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title.
