Latest update brings unprecedented realism with satellite-accurate city models and real-time weather simulation affecting flight dynamics.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has received its most ambitious update yet, introducing photorealistic models of 500 major cities worldwide and an advanced weather system that dramatically affects flight dynamics. The cities feature accurate building heights, landmarks, and even traffic patterns based on real-world data. The new weather system simulates everything from light turbulence to severe storms with unprecedented accuracy, requiring pilots to adapt their flying techniques accordingly. Cloud formations are now volumetric and react realistically to aircraft passage. The update also includes improved multiplayer functionality, allowing up to 100 players to fly together in shared sessions. Performance optimizations ensure the enhanced visuals don't compromise frame rates, with most systems seeing improved performance despite the added detail.
