![]() Unexpectedly, a mod in the middle part of the year spurred Asobo and Microsoft to correct some atmospheric scattering and colour shading issues in the sim. And then even the GA aircraft were updated with the Cirrus SR22T being added as a much higher fidelity representation of the original SR22. The same happened with the 747-8i and 787-10. Lead by the developers at Working Title, Microsoft Flight Simulator’s default business jets and then airliners got a workover with the Cessna CJ4 and Citation Latitude seeing some big upgrades. We also saw some significant updates to core content. Just some of the aircraft that MSFS launched this year. Famous Flyers started off with the An-225 and then went on to the An-2 ( reviewed here), ATR 42-600/72-600 ( reviewed here), Ford 4AT Trimotor ( reviewed here), Mitsubishi MU-2 ( reviewed), and Cessna T207A Turbo Stationair. Local Legends included the DHC-4 Caribou ( reviewed here), Latécoère 631, Boeing 307 Stratoliner, Aero Ae-45/145 ( reviewed here), Dornier Do X, and Saab B 17 ( reviewed here). This year was big for aircraft releases as well. City Updates were more prolific this year than last covering France, Texas, and Western Europe. World Updates for this year included New Zealand, Oceania, Central Europe, and Nordics and Greenland. Still, I can’t help but think that Microsoft and Asobo have made sure that MSFS 2020 is going out on a strong note with the sim with it picking up new features and new content such as the revamped SR22T, the new lighting system, and A320neo V2 just to name some key pieces.Ĭontinuing the trend from the previous years, this year we saw Microsoft and Asobo double down on ensuring that the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator was as detailed as possible. Though it sounds like Microsoft intends to keep the sim alive for quite some time yet, its sequel is in the works and expected to launch next year. While we look back at the last year, it’s important to consider that in many ways this is the big finish for Microsoft Flight Simulator from 2020. There’s quite a bit to this so lets get to it! The core of the sim ![]() This year I’m starting with Microsoft Flight Simulator with a look back at just some of the things that came up throughout the year as well as talking about what I expect in 2024. I’m not heavily invested in Engines but would assume the GE90 are more fuel-economy friendly than the old PW4000.As 2023 draws to a close, it’s time to have a look at the last year in simulation. And of course besides MTOW there are many other factors that play into why one would opt for the 77W over the 773. In the end the 77W came out as the more popular variant with more orders than the 773 ever got, and is now used in many different routes and ways for various airlines around the world. ![]() ![]() Those shorter routes are being operated by the 300ER, due various factors, one that I can think on the top of my head now would be the higher MTOW the -300ER has, and Ho Chi Minh City and Haneda are major markets in Asia, which is where the extra payload the -300ER can take helps out.Īs for EK, they are all-in invested in the Hub to Hub model, where the 777-300ER once again with the extra payload does allow for more cargo to be moved, city to city, but as well allowing other airlines to config with more than 400 seats on the -300ER, and not have to worry too much about the weight. ![]()
