WOW! 15% fps increase without doing anything.

Turbo Arrow III - gear don't work although the handle moves up and down.

15 fps increase back to where it was before, (when selecting default sound device bug), not an additional 15% increase over previous beta. but welcome nevertheless.

I am having to experiment with the addon manager to see what's causing the sim not to load.   When I empty the community folder, all is well.   Trial and error.

I guess check first for any tools/utilities/repaints rather than sceneries.

Yep, so far so good.

Yes.  I have a show stopper as well, but fine with an empty community folder.  It will take some tracing. 
Restarting the sim and the time it takes is an absolute pain.  I am glad I have addon manager at least.

The red flashlight mod is one that causes instant CTD when launching the sim

I've had several show stopper mods, all with CTDs - Orbx Essendon would not load (reported on their Forum) Iceland overhaul mod, which I had since last year cannot load, none of the mods for planes with the new prop model (C208 and King Air) work now - probably to be expected. But a lot of the essential stuff does work - most other Orbx airports, Aerosoft Simple Traffic, Bijan Seasons, CJ4 WT mod, G3000 but not WT GX3 in the KA.

I noticed the menu bar at top of screen is no also longer disappearing, Add on Manager is well worth having though as you say, you can create and restore new Presets, just for the beta.

Only had one CTD with no obvious reason so far and very smooth now.

Sincere thanks for that info Ray - it helps to narrow it down a bit.  

Also, credit where it is due to Asobo.  Based on previous history, I didn't expect them to make changes to the beta while it was in progress, and especially after only a few days; they are going in the right direction here. 

By the time everyone gets the full update on the 1st of March, it should be a good update for them without any stress - I will add my usual 'hopefully' on the end of that statement!

In case it helps the menu bar not going away in my case was being caused by the Shift-Z toolbar mod I had installed. I haven't checked for an update of the mod though, I've just disabled it for now.

Ah yes thanks for that, I remember now. Of course, I do have the Shift Z mod installed...

Unfortunately the majors stutters while taxiing are still there. 

It stutters because the sim is trying to do something in the background, you see the rotating white circle appear and then stutters ensue during this process.

Also, the controls still lock if panning cockpit view with right mouse button, been there since SU5 or 6.

No mention of this being fixed at all.

Oh well.
