August 28th, 2025 Development Update

This week’s Screenshot Challenge winner is X user tsujiKa_air! If you’re interested in participating in our weekly Screenshot Challenges, check out the details in the Community section below.

Last week we released Sim Update 3 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. In case you missed it, the full release notes for SU3 are available at this link. Also, if you have not yet done so, please be sure to vote in our SU3 surveys on our forums here. Your feedback is of great assistance to us!

Work continues on MSFS 2024, with the team preparing to start the public beta test for Sim Update 4 soon. Please watch this space for more information about how to join the beta once it begins!

Finally, several members of the MSFS team were present at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany last week. In addition to announcing City Update 12 and Local Legend 21, the team also had an opportunity to meet some simmers from our player community for a flight sim social event. It’s always a delight for us to interact with flight sim fans and discuss our hobby together!
