As a heads-up, those who are participating in the Sim Update 9 beta should receive an updated build soon.

Hi all,

Since the release of the beta build on Friday, we have been working through your feedback and reports. A new build will be available soon that fixes some of the biggest issues you have reported this weekend. Once live, we will add the new changelog in this section.

Thank you for your continued feedback and we appreciate your help!

Thanks for the HU.
A quick question.
Does this beta come with the ugly watermark or not?

No, the beta is public and comes with no watermarks, just like the Sim Update 8 beta.

What it means by soon? it will come today or the following days?

I have no clue, but I guess within the next 6 hours.

This was quicker than I thought.  I didn't expect them to have a new beta build this fast. My guess is, this beta build probably fixes the spad.next issue if they have a beta build this fast.  Some of the other issues probably take longer to fix so this beta build may not include fixes for other issues that can't be fixed as fast.

Good quick response.

I'll be waiting....I'l be waitinggggg 

BTW, why do they just say "soon" and not give a timeframe...We hope to have this build out today or within the next couple of days.....I swear MS is so bad with their communication....

I respectfully disagree, the fact that we keep getting development updates, says otherwise. Try XPlane, then you will know what "bad communication" really is.

I always thought xplane was quite good, especially with the dev blog. P3D on the other hand…

I can agree to a certain point, dev blog is really all about dev news and not necessarily development updates. XP users rarely know what is really going on behind the scenes from a dev. road map point of view. MS/Asobo have done a great job by keeping its user base informed on current development and what is coming in future updates.

Nice to try and derail a thread which is about MS/Asobo communicating, which they are doing several times a month through various channels. Amazing how completly word not allowed people can be.

The irony that the entire thread is about patch notes detailing a new update that is coming out today... I guess 'today' isn't quick enough anymore.

Good news everyone, beta build 1.25.5.0 will be live shortly. Enjoy!

Right. Don’t wanna be in their shoes. No update mentioned and people will complain. And if update is mentioned people still complain when today is not fast enough. A classic dilemma 

Edit: overlap with Chaotics update. Now let’s discuss what shortly means. Hopefully today 😉
