/images/notams/notams21/dino1022.jpgBoy, what a week has been for Flight Simulator! Sim Update 6, newSDK, full trailer for Reno Air Races and the GOTY Edition (with theSuperbug coming much earlier than we expected) - AWESOME NEWS. The most important for us is the new SDK (1.15) that was justreleased - and now it FINALLY has an updated and comprehensive list ofthe variables and parameters that will work in the game (as opposed tothe previous list that was copy-pasted from FSX...and was incorrect insome cases). As result, we now have clear instructions on how to do certainthings and will be able to provide a more detailed simulation of somesystems. However, as usual, SIM UPDATE 6 has brought a number of changesthat may create problems to the existing aircraft. We are currentlymaking detailed test flights on all of our planes and will update themas needed. Here is the current status of our findings so far: ALL OF OUR AIRCRAFT: AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE AIRCRAFT, THEEXTERNAL AND INTERNAL MODELS ARE BOTH SHOWN ONE ON TOP OF EACH OTHER -this is a simulator problem - we have reported it to Microsoft. LONG-EZ (multiple flights): Microsoft made some changes tothe Garmin AERA GPS which broke the compatibility with the plane. Wehave fixed the problem and will release an update soon, with otherimprovements. Apart from that the plane works fine. MB-339 (quick test): The smoke effects do not work asintended anymore. This was expected as SU6 contains major changes tothe special effects systems. We will rewrite the smoke effects andwill update the plane as soon as possible, but it may take alittle. T-45C (quick test): at a glance, the T-45C seems to workfine. In the meantime we made some minor improvements yet to bereleased... so it may well be that we will update the aircraft in anycase. New ProjectsF-35: Good news here...SU6 did not break our STOVL system!Apart from that there is not too much to report here, except from thefact that the clarifications in the SDK will allow us to implementsome minor improvements to the avionics. SU-31: SU6 was supposed to bring some improvements toaerobatic planes... from our quick tests, it seems that the SU-31works a little better. We'll do more test in the next few days. M-346: No impact for the moment. Let us know if you find anything strange in our planes after SU6! Source

/images/notams/notams21/msfs1016.jpgWe are just a few days out from the release of Sim Update 6! Thenew build will go live on October 19th with many anticipated bug fixesfrom the community. Right after release, we have our monthly Live DevQ&A on October 20th at 1750Z (10:30 am PT) over on our Twitchchannel. In case you missed it, our Discord admins also just opened a spookylivery contest. If you're skilled with making aircraft liveries orwant to create your very first one, join our Discord and look for thechannel "#halloween-livery-contest" for rules and how toenter. We are looking forward to a busy upcoming week! - The MSFS team Source
