Its like something is going on at MS/Asobo.
Complete silence, not a word od progress in weekly development update blog, no new beta builds, haven’t noticed any feedbacks on forums that are on fire regarding performance.

Topic moved from SU2Beta category as this is not feedback on something in the beta or a regression noted in it.
There was a public holiday in France on May 8th and I assume many people also took Friday off to have a long weekend.

that sounds like Xmas, when they left for a wonderful holiday break with the SIM in a royal mess! Funny how they release stuff before holidays and go quiet.

Career Maintenence Upcoming Update: May 12
Official Microsoft Flight SimulatorNews & Announcements
JummivanaSenior Community Manager [Z-8]
Career Mode will be down momentarily on 2025-05-12T08:00:00Z in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. During this maintenance period, Career Mode will not be accessible to any player.
Changes effective on live retail build (Sim Update 1) immediately after maintenance is complete:
- Bought aircraft are now salvaged to the closest aerodrome instead of the starting aerodrome
- Salvage cost now scales based on aircraft price instead of salvage distance
- Salvage is now free below a certain distance (currently 5km)
- Aborted missions no longer generate passive income
Changes effective only in the Sim Update 2 Beta build:
- Insurance and passive flight times are now correctly split
- Used aircraft correctly display the maintenance cost breakdown
- Used aircraft correctly display the correct time until the next check-up after purchase
- Aircraft repair:
- Insurance no longer reimburses damage of non-destructive crashes on check-up
- A free check-up is now done automatically after a non-destructive crash
- A new “Aircraft repair” button replaces the “Delegated maintenance” button when the aircraft is grounded. This returns the aircraft back to its condition before the flight when the crash occurred
- Insurance now covers the entire aircraft instead of vital components
- Selling the aircraft instead of using “Aircraft Repair” has been balanced so that there is no loss in value between the two options
Just a heads up that it’s almost always Microsoft doing the communication in the forums, not Asobo.

Yes, once again, just minor changes that don’t make the game any more playable , they’re just band-aid fixes! Like 80% of the patch notes, which are really just visual updates.
In career mode, a lot of things ruin the game : the tower stops responding, you get a penalty even before boarding the plane! A runway is assigned for landing, but it turns out it’s the wrong one! Or you’re told to climb to 320FT less than 5 minutes before landing. And in rescue mode, you get messages saying equipment is destroyed , even though it’s not true.
Also, when flying a delivery mission and following the blue gates, you often get penalties for supposedly flying over restricted areas — even though you’re just following the route!"
In addition to the multiple holidays in France so far in May, one may surmise that folks may finally be taking some badly needed vacation time since launch? It has been a long time for folks to function in crisis mode and people will need time off to remain productively employed (and not defect as some pilots reportedly are). Let’s cut the people who do the hard work a break, and while we all tend to hold leadership reponsible, FWIW, the hundreds that do the work deserve their time off, if that is what is happening now almost one year in.

We’re still here everyone, fear not! The dev team are hard at work on improvements as the Sim Update 2 Beta progresses in MSFS 2024.
Keep your eyes peeled, and as soon as we’re able to share any news for you all, we will do so via our usual social media platforms as well as here on the forums too!
Thanks 
The MSFS Team

In all fairness, your behavior/actions (MS not you personally) do not really support your message. Let’s hope we will see a bit more than just another one liner in the blog post tomorrow.
Just an idea for a small side challenge for you guys, try to avoid the words “soon”, ”shortly”
