Earlier this week, Asobo Studio released v1.7.14 of Microsoft Flight Simulator. The latest patch introduces numerous bug fixes, game optimizations, and improved stability.

The full patch notes are as follows:

STABILITY ISSUES

• The title will no longer crash when different input devices/peripherals are disconnected
• The title will no longer crash when the TBM 930 package is deleted

INSTALLATION ISSUES

• The install process will no longer be blocked after a partial decompression of a package
• The install process will no longer be blocked when a local user account includes non-ASCII characters
• The install process will no longer be blocked after a failed connection to servers
• The install process will no longer display an empty onboarding screen under certain conditions
• The title will download a critical missing/deleted package to access the main menu even if the save data preference is set to offline (when an internet connection is available)

CONTENT MANAGER

• The title will no longer automatically download packages that have been deleted through the content manager
• The content manager will no longer get stuck in an infinite loading state when checked offline
• The Creator name of the packages should now be properly updated

SIMCONNECT

• Significant FPS drop when using Simconnect should no longer affect the experience

OPTIMIZATION

• The performance of the title has been improved when the Display name plate option is set to active

The new version can be downloaded starting yesterday, and users can do so by simply relaunching the simulator. The developers also recommended users who are experiencing trouble updating to reinstall the sim. For more news on MSFS, visit Threshold’s Hub.
