Microsoft has released Sim Update 13 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, which includes many changes, bug fixes and improvements, and community requested fixes. The main focus for this Sim Update was many small fixes and changes to many facets of the simulator.

The main volume of changes came for the 747-8 and 787-10, which both have received fixes to their avionics by Working Title. Most notably, being the addition of SimBrief integration in both aircraft, as well as the addition of an EFB for the 787. The new EFB also allows for takeoff calculations, which you can send directly to the FMC. Another highly requested feature, step climbs, have also been implemented.
