SDK UPDATE

  • General
    • A new Public Update Flight is currently happening based on the Sim Update 7 build. You can join on all supported platforms (MS Store, Steam and Xbox) and, most importantly, report any issue on the dedicated section of the forum: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/c/decupdateflight/postsu7-sdk/298. Please report here instead of AnswerHub for all flighting-related issues!
  • DevMode
    • Scenery Editor:
      • We removed obsolete options from the Type properties of Painted Hatched Areas.
      • We locked child of control tower for more consistency with projected meshes. Control towers now maintain correct hierarchy level and name upon saving and loading a Scenery file.
      • On the aprons, we added UV manipulation with gizmo.
    • Aircraft Editor:
      • Cylinder displacement is now correctly converted to cubic inches in the AircraftEditor.
      • We fixed the infinite loadings and the “no motor sound” issues after working on an aircraft.
  • WASM
    • We fixed random loading issues for WASM-based gauges.

Joining us on the stream will be a real Boeing airline pilot (737/757/767) as a guest co-host to share his thoughts on how Thrustmaster’s Boeing controls compare to the real deal.
