Hello fellow simmers!

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Microsoft Flight Simulator we’ve just released v1.1 on the App Store which comes with 3 new aircraft icons. Passenger Jet, Helicopter & Glider can be found in the settings panel. But that’s not all we’ve released.

v1.1 also includes

  • All new search has been included to the map - Found in the top right

  • Map Airspace now includes lower and upper limits - Map may go blank for a few seconds to update with the new changes. A reinstall is not needed.

  • Performance improvements and minor bug fixes

Happy Flying!

Has anyone tried this? Wondering what it’s like. I see (I think…) the price has dropped since first time I looked. I’ve not had any time to check the 3 day trial but it looks interesting. Just wondering how user-friendly and useful it is if anyone here has trialed it?
