The skies of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 just got a little smoother. Asobo Studio and Microsoft have released the latest patch, version 1.1.9.0, aimed at addressing some of the stability and performance issues that have grounded the community’s experience. Whether you’re a seasoned virtual aviator or just taking to the skies, this update promises a more seamless journey.

What’s in the Patch?

This update focuses on resolving ongoing stability problems that have caused crashes for some users. In addition, it targets the notoriously long loading times, a common frustration for players exploring the immersive world of MSFS 2024. While the patch itself doesn’t completely eliminate these issues, it’s a significant step in the right direction.

Community Folder Tip

One of the standout recommendations from Microsoft is to relocate your Community Folder. If you’ve noticed sluggish loading times or unexpected hiccups, moving this folder might just be the fix you need. The Community Folder is where custom content, like third-party aircraft and scenery addons, is stored. By placing it on a faster drive or organizing it more efficiently, users can see noticeable improvements in performance.

Keeping the Sim Flying

Asobo and Microsoft have reaffirmed their commitment to refining the experience with ongoing updates. While 1.1.9.0 isn’t the final destination for performance fixes, it lays the groundwork for a more stable and enjoyable simulator.

How to Update

To install the patch, simply launch the game, and the update should download automatically. If you’re unsure, double-check the version number in the main menu. For best results, back up your Community Folder before making changes or updating.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in virtual aviation, and with every patch, it inches closer to perfection. For more tips, news, and updates on MSFS 2024, stay tuned to Sky Blue Radio.
