Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 took to the skies this week and it's admittedly not been the best start for this new Xbox, PC and Game Pass release.

The development team at Asobo has already issued an apology about the bumpy takeoff, and now the team has officially launched a new patch for "all platforms" including the Xbox Series X|S. This bumps the game up to Version 1.1.9.0 and addresses stability and performance issues as well as some general bug fixes. Below is the full rundown:

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 1.1.9.0 Release Notes

If you are playing on PC, outdated packages in your Community Folder may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behavior. If you suffer from stability issues or long loading times, move your Community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title

Stability & Performance

  • Fixed a crash when you selected “As Arrival” in the EFB
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when closing and invoking the Camera menu after changing the Drone focus mode option to a value other than undefined
  • Fixed various crashes across the title

General Bug Fixes

  • Fixed missing cursor on Xbox Live sign-in popup
  • Fixed an issue where you could lose focus when creating a new input profile.
  • Aircraft selection is accessible via the control menu, but can only be changed from the home page.
  • Fixed an issue where you could get stuck when accessing the menu bar from any help page.

As noted by the team, you can leave feedback about various topics on the official Flight Simulator 2024 forums.
