MSFS Dev Update & Partnership Series with Working Title

Following the recent Sim Update on Tuesday this week, the Microsoft Flight Simulator development team has, yet again, presented another development update via their forums.

In the post, they have announced another partnership, this time with Working Title, and have accompanied the announcement with a video, which can be viewed below. Working Title is the team responsible for the enhancement mods to the Citation CJ4, G1000, G3000, and GX, that come with Microsoft Flight Simulator.

They also mention the eagerly anticipated CRJ, which is planned for release in the coming week, as well as announcing Pilot Emilie’s recent take over of their Twitch channel. The developers also thank the community for the questions and engagement with a recent Q&A.
