Xbox Series X|S Update Released for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 After Initial Challenges

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launched this week, though it hasn’t been the smoothest takeoff for Xbox, PC, and Game Pass users. The folks over at Asobo have acknowledged the rocky start with a sincere apology. They’ve also introduced a fresh patch across all platforms, including Xbox Series X|S. With this update, the game advances to Version 1.1.9.0, aiming to enhance overall stability and performance while ironing out some persistent bugs. Here’s a detailed look at what’s been fixed:

For those playing on PC, there’s a heads-up about older packages in your Community Folder potentially affecting the game’s performance. If you’re experiencing stability hiccups or prolonged load times, it might be wise to move those Community packages elsewhere before diving back into the game.

Stability & Performance Improvements:

• Resolved a crash when using the "As Arrival" option in the EFB.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when toggling the Camera menu after adjusting the Drone focus mode to anything except undefined.
• Tackled various crashes throughout the game.

General Bug Fixes:

• Solved the issue of the missing cursor during the Xbox Live sign-in popup.
• Fixed the loss of focus when creating a new input profile.
• Accessing aircraft selection via the control menu is now possible, though changes can only be made from the home page.
• Fixed getting stuck while accessing the menu bar from any help page.

The team shared these updates on Twitter, announcing that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 v1.1.9.0 is available for all players. They also encouraged feedback on the official Flight Simulator 2024 forums.
