To get the new Microsoft Flight Simulator beta update 14 on xcloud Microsoft Flight Simulator, you can follow these steps

Open the 'Xbox Insider Hub' app on your PC or Xbox (or install it through the Microsoft Store if you don't have it already).

Search for 'Microsoft Flight Simulator Beta' and select 'Join' or 'Manage'.

From the Groups list, select 'Microsoft Flight Simulator – Sim Update 14' and click Save.

Wait for registration to complete, then restart your Xbox console or PC, this will cause the Store to refresh and get the update.

Please note that if you joined the Microsoft Flight Simulator Beta during a previous update preview and did not manually leave the Beta, you will automatically receive this new update preview once it is available

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.

Hello,

I have an old microsoft sidewinder joystick (part no. x08-59073) and I was planning to get microsoft flight simulator 2020 when it comes out. Can anyone tell me if this joystick will still work with the newer flight simulators?

Hey, I also have the same controller, I gave it a go, but the game didn't recognise it, not sure if a newer driver may be needed. It does work... but you have to set it up yourself and personally found the flying experience not so great with this controller.
If anyone knows a work around I am all ears!
