Microsoft Flight Simulator 23’s Sim Update 13 brings a wide range of fixes and improvements

The Sim Update 13 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 23 brings a variety of updates and fixes aimed at enhancing the overall gaming experience. The update addresses technical issues like crashes and frame rate drops, improves marketplace functionality, and tweaks cockpit systems for a more realistic flight experience.

Additionally, there are improvements in online group joining and light simulations, as well as better accessibility features for screen readers. This update aims to make the simulator more stable, user-friendly, and true-to-life. The full list of changes, as revealed on September 28, can be found below.

GENERAL BUG FIXES

• Several crashes have been fixed across the title.
• Memory and FPS optimizations.
• For the AAU_02 update, we made a change to allow control of the cursor with all joysticks, and not only with gamepad. This change had the unintended consequence of causing the central white dot to display when moving the camera or when using a joystick/mouse at the same time. To address the issue, we’ve added 2 new options to allow players to customize the cursor behavior:
  • You can access these new options from Options > General Options > Accessibility.
  • SHOW THE WHITEDOT CURSOR IN FREELOOK (Default = ON): Display or hide the central white dot cursor when the camera moves.
  • ALLOW 2D CURSOR ON ALL PERIPHERALS (Default = OFF) : ON will allow to display the 2D gamepad cursor when using other types of peripherals : joysticks, yokes, etc. When set to OFF, this will be the same behavior as before AAU_02.
• Fixed Active Pause: now aircraft velocity and angular velocity are also frozen.
• Added logbook compression to fix an issue where the logbook stopped recording flights after reaching 16MB limit size.
• Fixed an issue where uninstalled standard content would automatically reinstall.
• The dark line that appears on the horizon in some situations is now less visible.
• Fixed localization bugs

MARKETPLACE

• Fixed a bug preventing content bought inside the Marketplace from appearing in the Content Manager if this content was part of a non-bought pack.

MENU

• Airports can be searched if they have special characters.
• Fixed Main Menu tile image for Top Gun Maverick DLC that was extending beyond the tile boundaries.

ACCESSIBILITY

• Screen Reader will now correctly narrate the highlighted option within pop-up dialog prompts (e.g. “OK”, “Cancel”, “Save”, etc).
• D-Pad and keyboard navigation within UI menus will no longer jump unexpectedly to the Social Panel or tooltips when reaching the final item in a horizontal grid or list.
• Logbook can now be navigated line-by-line using either gamepad D-Pad or keyboard.
• Updated tooltip to better explain how to adjust slider or cyclic options using gamepad or keyboard.

INSTALL

• Fixed an issue where deleting content on Xbox would delete it on PC too (and vice versa).

ONLINE

• Fixed a bug where the user would not join a group after accepting an invitation through the platform
• Fixed a bug where light simvar were not properly replicated

NAVIGATION/TRAFFIC

• Fixed a bug where airplanes didn’t slow down enough to turn while taxiing.
