Thank you to everyone who has been participating in the public beta test for Aircraft and Avionics Update 02 (AAU_02). Your feedback and bug reports have been incredibly helpful to the development team as we continue preparing for a target launch date of June 23. We released a new beta build (1.33.7.0) to testers yesterday. In case you missed it, you can see the release notes for this build on our forums here.
AAU_02 isn't the only upcoming release scheduled for June, though! As seen on the latest Development Roadmap, we will also be launching City Update 02: France (CU_02) on June 19. This update will add new photogrammetry to several French cities including Amiens, Angers, Nantes, Nimes, and Reims as well as a bespoke LFPB Paris Le Bourget airport, home of the upcoming Paris Air Show.
Also launching alongside CU_02 is Local Legend 9: Latécoère 631. This French flying boat once held the world record for the longest non-stop passenger service. There are no surviving models that remain today, not even in museums, so bringing a virtual rendition of this aircraft to Microsoft Flight Simulator is truly an act of historical preservation.
Finally, the Microsoft Flight Simulator Team will be attending FlightSimExpo 2023 starting on June 23. We'll be sharing more about our involvement with the Expo in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
