Microsoft Flight Simulator update 1.20.6.0 is now available to download on PC, Windows 10, and Xbox. According to the official MSFS patch notes, the latest update added a long list of bug fixes and gameplay changes.

If you are playing on PC, some packages in your community folder may not have been updated and, as a result, may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behaviour. Please move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title if you suffer from stability issues or long loading times.

Previously. a major update 6 added many enhancements to the region, including new aerials and elevation maps. Apart from this, MSFS patch 6 also includes new photogrammetry cities, 4 hand-crafted airports, nearly 100 POIs and new discovery flights, landing challenges, and bush trips.

Today’s MSFS patch 1.19.9.0 will fix a few of these issues. Check out more details below.
