@MSFSofficial You updated the Boeing 747 in vain, because it did not solve the problem of the lights in the cabin, on board the plane. Even now the lights inside do not light up!

@MSFSofficial I decided to fly over the 2 major WW2 memorials, Normandy American Cemetery, & the USS Arizona. I was sad to see the lack of detail around those monuments. Pearl Harbor memorial was a flat 2d satellite image, & Normandy didn’t look like a cemetery. Please fix this

@OMGEDSON @XboxPublishing @MSFSofficial I've made a few suggestions on a stream with FSA some time ago.
There's a lot that could be done to improve and fix a lot of problems with the partner program and the marketplace itself.
I've also sent some of that feedback directly to people inside MS.

@MSFSofficial Wouldnt it be possible to release new Marketplace content not only on Thursdays?
Since you dont seem to check for compatibility or quality of Addons anyway (Still have purchased Airports that crash the Sim) whats taking so long to release the Content? 3month+ backlog minimum.

@justcallmatt @MartyTa94849826 i'll set up a fly-by-night online night flight school. Only client I want is Kyle Rottenhouse, and my flat fee is $15000. Then load him on a Microsoft Flight Simulator (the original) on an ancient 486DX-66 with a half-broken joystick. Then fail him automatically and send him off.

I have noticed some people have been experiencing the 787-10 in Microsoft Flight Simulator having an issue with LNAV or I thought. When the B78X was turning to a specific waypoint the plane may end up going off course and doing a continuous circle. Change the Joystick Sensitivity https://t.co/men9JXZa5t
