Microsoft Flight Simulator: What to Expect in the Aircraft & Avionics Update 02
In the latest Aircraft & Avionics Update 02 of Microsoft Flight Simulator, developers have added new telemetry to investigate issues reported by the community such as "low bandwidth" and connection loss. Although the investigation is still ongoing, some insights have already been gained thanks to the data collected during flights, such as the fact that the issues are not limited to specific regions or locations.
With the global release of AAU 02 this week, more data can now be collected to advance the resolution of these issues. A big thank you goes out to all beta testers who provided valuable feedback.
