Weekly Recap
On Friday of last week we released a new beta test build for Sim Update 7.1 (v1.9.20.0). This test build enables Time Trials in the National Championship Air Racing mode and also resolves a few issues introduced with Sim Update 7, including a fix for a bug which caused aircraft drag to be modeled incorrectly. You can read the full release notes for this build on our forums here. The Production Team is aiming for the full release of SU7.1 to all simmers in the very near future.
The team is also preparing for our next Developer Livestream to be broadcast on our official Twitch channel in November (stay tuned for the exact date and time). If you would like to pre-submit a question to the panel of Jorg, Seb, and Martial, you can do so by completing the form at this link.
Finally, last week we had the immense privilege of hosting a roundtable discussion panel with five real National Championship Air Races (NCAR) pilots to discuss air racing both in the real world and in the newly-released NCAR mode for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The race pilots participating in our panel were:
Tammy Camilleri – Jet Class – Miss Independance
Rod Hewitt – STOL Drag Class – Angry Kitten
Steven Hinton Jr. – Unlimited Class – Bardahl Special
Greg McNeely – T-6 Class – Undecided
Tommy Suell – Biplane Class – Shake N Bake
