Sim Update 6 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is on its way, and following the recent first beta release, there's now a newer one to try out with more new features. 
In the Sim Update 6 1.8.8.0 beta there are two pieces of new content to take a look at, including the much-anticipated return of Bush Trips from Flight Simulator 2020. 
It's not all of them at this point, but it sounds like a good chunk are available to try out before the public release, per the patch notes . 
"As announced during FlightSimExpo 2026, bush trips are coming to MSFS 2024 and are now accessible in the Sim Update 6 Beta from the Activities menu. 
We have added a large amount of the bush trips from MSFS 2020 already and more will be added in the coming days." 
The other fresh content concerns lighting, one of the already promised big upgrades for Sim Update 6. 
Generic airport lighting upgrades were made in the previous beta, while this latest one adds MastLights to those same generic airports, improving the illumination at parking spots. 
This is on top of the features that came in the first Sim Update 6 beta , including DLSS 4.5, FSR 4, and the ability to skip walkarounds in Free Flight mode. 
If you want to try the new beta for yourself, how you get in depends on where you're playing. 
Sign up to be a Flight Simulator Insider first, and then flights are managed through the XBOX Insider Hub app on console or PC. 
Steam betas are managed through the game's Properties menu, and PS5 players can download the beta via the PlayStation Store. 
There's no release date yet set for the public version of Sim Update 6, but the latest roadmap shows a July or August timeframe. 
So it's not too far away.
