September 19th, 2024 Development Update

So, quiet week, huh?

...

😉

Starting today, you can pre-order Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! As a special bonus, anyone who pre-orders will receive the De Havilland Canada CL-415 firefighting aircraft (part of the Standard Edition of MSFS2024) to use right now in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)! You can learn more about how to pre-order and also read additional details about the simulator -- including the full aircraft list -- on this page[www.flightsimulator.com]. Pre-orders are available for Xbox and PC from the Microsoft Store now and will come to Steam next week on September 26.

If you'd like to learn more about the new sim before pre-ordering, then you can hear from press representatives and content creators who attended a special Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 preview event last week. The attendees received a behind-the-scenes look at what is coming in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 in the form of presentations and interviews with key members of the development team. They also had a hands-on opportunity to try a pre-release build of the new sim itself. For your convenience, we've collected many of the text and video previews on our website here[www.flightsimulator.com], and we'll continue to update this page as more publications post their preview content.

We're sure you still have many questions about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, so our next Developer Livestream is scheduled for next week on Wednesday, September 25 at 1730 UTC! During this broadcast, our panel of Jorg, Seb, and Martial will discuss the new sim and answer many of your questions. Since the initial reveal trailer at the Xbox Games Showcase in June 2023, we have been collecting the most frequently asked questions from the flight sim community, and we're very excited to start answering some of your top requests for more information!

As always, we will also be taking questions from live viewers during the event. You can watch the Developer Livestream on both our official Twitch channel[twitch.tv] and our YouTube channel. If you're unable to watch the broadcast as it occurs, the recorded video will also be available on YouTube.

We look forward to sharing much more information with you about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 between now and its release date on November 19.
