Nur wenige Tage nach dem Release eines größeren Updates für den Microsoft Flight Simulator und dem Release der Xbox-Version, reichen die Entwickler heute einen Hotfix nach. Dieser soll vor allem diverse Simcrahses aber auch andere Kleinigkeiten beheben. Bei Abstürzen in Verbindungen mit dem FlyByWire Mod greift Microsoft zu einer anderen Maßnahme. Hier habe man den Mod aus der Liste des MSFS-Marketplaces genommen, so Microsoft. User hatten vermehrt von Crash to Desktops in Verbindung mit dem Mod berichtet. Hier solle man den Mod am Besten im Content Manager des MSFS deinstallieren. Ein Update soll in Kürze folgen, derzeit prüft das FlyByWire-Team auch die Verfügbarkeit einer XBox-Version laut eigenem Discord-Server.

Der Hotfix wird wie immer beim Simstart installiert, hier die Liste der Verbesserungen:
