Instead of the usual weekly update that we receive from the Microsoft Flight Simulator team, last week's update issued a statement, which explained that the update schedule will be phased out in the coming weeks.
Part of the statement read:
“In light of recent health concerns, we’ve asked the team to focus on their health and well-being. As a result, our normal development updates will be scaled back over the next few weeks as we continue to monitor the situation."
Well, it has now been a week since the statement, and the team is already back to covering various components of the game.
Continue below for all the details we have.
This week's update
After a week of pretty much everything in the world getting cancelled thanks to Coronavirus concerns, it is refreshing to see Microsoft Flight Simulator leading the way.
Alpha Build Update
The team has said that the upcoming Alpha build is currently in release testing, so they are expecting to provide a release date and build notes next week on 19 March.
