Today Microsoft released a new major update for Microsoft Flight Simulator, numbered 1.14.5.0.
As usual, you need to first download an update on the Windows Store on Steam (1.03 GB) and then launch the simulator to download a bigger 9.09 GB update.
Among the new elements, there are the much-requested contrails, new liveries, and the ability to add some wear and variables to aircraft.
You can see the new contrails (and one of the liveries) in action below.
On top of that, plenty of fixes and tweaks have been applied. You can find the full patch notes here.
Recently, we published our massive interview with head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann, who provided a lot of new info about the present and future of the sim.
