The Microsoft Flight Simulator Team is pleased to announce a product update for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight. In response to customer feedback and Product Support information, the Update will address a series of enhancements and content updates.
Update Enhancements
- Addressed slow frame rates for flights repeatedly in and out of a common area. Frame rate decreases have been corrected by fixes to Autogen scenery behavior and memory allocation.

- Addressed additional product stability issues tied to various features throughout the product.
- Addressed issues with configuration file updates to make sure all option changes are reflected during subsequent launches.
