ALPHA 3 PATCH COMING SOON.

We are preparing to release a patch for Alpha 3 (build 1.3.11.0) within the next 24 hours. The patch will contain updates to Peripherals and Controls, Planes, UI, and Stability.

 

• PATCH NOTES

Bug Fixes and QoL Improvements

Peripherals and Controls:

• Fixed loading of the save-buffer size when loading into the XBOX Live Cloud saves – this will fix the issue that was creating new input profiles for peripherals
• Similarly but not the same, fixed the loading of save-files from the cloud
• Fixed the issues when setting up peripherals to allow you to validate set up

Planes:

• Cockpit plane interiors have been updated on the 747

UI and Controls:

• Fixed issue that was preventing users from exiting the Control Settings screen in the UI

Stability:

• Fixed the crash after selecting a custom profile when setting up a peripheral

 

ALPHA INVITATIONS

• More invitations are being sent out today!

 

FEEDBACK SNAPSHOT VERSION 0402 NOW AVAILABLE

 We have released the preview for version 0402 of our Feedback Snapshot in the Insider Area.

That screen of the 747 in fog is unreal! Time to watch the video now!

Those of you wondering about wing flex will be relieved. 🙂

Copilot can now handle the radios! SIDS and STARS baby!

[YVRLHRDXB 321]

Anyone notice the shimmering runway lines at 5:44? I really hope the AA is improved.

[AflyingDoge 27]

Love the sloped runway! Anyone concerned about runways flat have been relived.

[Greazer 1,320]

Wow I'm impressed. By everything!

[mesaba 116 10]

I am impressed with the IFR capabilities.

Was anyone else hoping we'd see how ATC would work the FS aircraft into real world traffic (presumably what FlightAware will bring in)?

[reignman40 450]

At 11:35 he calls it FS2020, the debate is final! haha

[suncoastflyer 685]

I'm sure you guys can see that the autopilot is still very much in an alpha state. But I'm sure you guys can also see it's coming along very nicely!

Love that they've incorporated the flight planning feature that appeared in DTG's FSW: the point and click flight planning on a fluidly zoomable world map. Sweet.
