Weekly Recap

The Sim Update 5.1 beta remains ongoing, and the team is very carefully reviewing all the player feedback and bug reports, the results of our forum surveys, and automatic telemetry data from beta testers as they work to improve stability and resolve low memory and avionics issues encountered by players in SU5, particularly among console users. We once again thank everyone who is participating in the beta test. Your feedback and bug reports are incredibly valuable to us!

Additionally, the team remains hard at work finalizing the remaining four aircraft from AAU_04. We know many of you are excited for the updated versions of these planes, and we’re eager to get them into your hands as soon as they’re ready. We appreciate everyone’s patience as the team makes sure these aircraft are the best they can be before release.

Yesterday we hosted a special product demo livestream on our official Twitch channel to showcase various flight sim peripherals from MOZA. The panel of Community Manager SeedyL, MOZA Representative Zak, and popular content creator Twotonemurphy walked viewers through various use cases of MOZA force feedback controls in a variety of aviation scenarios including helicopters, GA, vintage aircraft, airliners, gliders, fast jets, and even Red Bull Air Racing. If you missed the live broadcast, the VOD is available for on-demand viewing on our official YouTube channel below:

The next major tournament in the Tennis calendar has kicked off this week with the French Open, otherwise known as Roland-Garros named in honor of a pioneering French aviator from the early 20th century. With many of the best players in the world competing, and a likely star-studded list of guests watching in the stands, why not fly some into the nearest airport, or even land on the court with a helicopter?!
