Microsoft Flight Simulator Team has today taken to the official website to announce the release of a new patch addressing bug fixes and many improvements to the planes, user interface, aerodynamics, navigation data, the Marketplace, activity, and at last, the world.
The new patch features, for example, updated navigation data, an improved installation process of packages downloaded through the content manager, or improved autogen building heights. Furthermore, the simulator should no longer crash when using the VFR map and the content manager now support simultaneous downloads. As usual, the complete changelog can be found below.
The patch will download automatically when you launch the simulator and requires 2.42GB of data to be downloaded. If you want to purchase the simulator, you can do so either through Steam or Microsoft Store for the same price of €69.99.
