Third-party developers had new Microsoft Flight Simulator add-on assets and a release to share today, while Microsoft launched a new update.

We start with the update, which is designed to correct some of the outstanding issues left by Sim Update 9.

The download is a simple ~350 MB download on the Windows Store or Steam (or on Xbox, of course), with no follow-up once you launch the game. It’s numbered 1.25.9.0 and includes the following

Fixed various crashes on the world map
Fixed crashes affecting airports that have a beacon but no runway (BIKF for example)
Fixed simobject data request creation process preventing Flight sim gear peripherals from working
Fixed a crash in vector placement during back to main menu
Fixed LOD streaming in vector placement in the Scenery editor
Fixed windshield flickering when the render scale is not set to 100%
Fixed CGL updating loading order to ensure custom CGL files are loaded correctly
Fixed ATC Azure TTS goes silent while in gameplay
Fixed crashes about SimConnect message reception after being closed in WASM

Next, we get a single but juicy screenshot of the McDonnell Douglas DC-10/KC-10 Extender by Aero Dynamics, showing one of the engines.

The aircraft is going to be freeware, and you can follow its development on the developer’s Discord server.

Next, Orbx released new screenshots of the recently-announced Podgorica Airport (LYPG), serving the capital city of Montenegro.

Last, but not least, Aerosoft and Aviation-Sim-Design released Emden Airport (EDWE) in Germany.

You can purchase on Aerosoft’s store for €10.20.
