Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Sim Update 6 is officially available but with some bad news for AMD Radeon users
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has received its Sim Update 6, which is now officially available to players. The update was first revealed several months ago at the FlightSimExpo event and has undergone beta testing before its official release. The download size is relatively modest at under 4GB.
Sim Update 6 includes several headline features and brings an extensive list of tweaks and bug fixes to the simulation. However, the update carries concerning news for AMD Radeon GPU users, as the developers have rolled back a previously planned feature that had been included during the beta testing phase. This represents a departure from what AMD users were expecting based on their experience with the beta version.
The rollback underscores ongoing challenges with supporting diverse hardware configurations in complex simulations. Despite this setback for AMD users, the update represents a significant maintenance and improvement release for the broader flight simulator community, with extensive patch notes suggesting developers have focused on stability and quality-of-life improvements alongside new content.
