Microsoft Flight Simulator Closed Beta uitgebracht

Iets eerder dan aangekondigd heeft Microsoft vandaag de Closed Beta uitgebracht met versienummer 1.6.13. Voor de alpha testers die al eerder meededen zal er niet zoveel verschil zijn, afgelopen vrijdag werd er ook al onverwachts een nieuwe build vrijgegeven (1.6.12), die alle onderstaande content al bevatte. Desalniettemin, hieronder de release notes voor de Closed Beta.
