Microsoft Flight Simulator 29th October Development Update

According to a post on Flight Simulator’s website, Microsoft have launched a new update for their most recent simulator.

The update version 1.10.7.0 includes many fixes all around the simulator, but seems to focus on default aircraft systems. As well as fixing many aircraft behaviour bugs, Microsoft have included various updates to the world and graphics, such as motion blur and improved night lighting.

For aircraft, they have included many fixes ranging from improved flight dynamics to fixing unusual light behaviours. A full list of the aircraft changes can be seen below:

  • Improved sensitivity and twitchiness of control surfaces for the Daher TBM 930, Cessna 152, Cessna 152 Aerobat, Cessna 172 classic and Cessna 172 G1000
  • Improved autopilot behavior for pitch management, altitude capture and stability for Cessna 208 B Grand Caravan EX, Cessna Citation Longitude, Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental and Daher TBM 930
  • Fixed Zlin Shock Ultra caution amber light which was always on
  • Fixed Cirrus SR22 windshield deicing not working
  • Fixed Cessna 152 flood light always ON during tutorials
  • Fixed aircraft avionics screens going blank in certain conditions
  • Fixed Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner APU fault light behavior
  • Unlocking longitudinal position of elevator to allow for “Canard” airplanes

As for world and graphical additions, Microsoft have provided a list of what has been added, and it is as follows:

  • Motion blur has been added
  • New temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) has been implemented
  • The temporal upsampling has been fixed (when TAA is active with the render scale below 100%)
  • Night lighting has been improved
  • Water night reflections have been added
  • Huge hole in Brazil has been fixed

1.10.7.0 doesn’t stop at graphics and aircraft improvements, as Microsoft have changed other areas of the simulator, adding things such as sensitivity curves, unit switching, toggleable cockpit tooltips and toggleable TrackIR. On top of that, Microsoft has listened to feedback and has removed the “press any key to start” screen on opening the simulator.

A full changelog for version 1.10.7.0 as well as a list of known issues has been provided on their website.
