We will be deploying a new beta build (1.25.7.0) to testers shortly. Please read the following for information about this new build.

General bugfix 1.25.7.0

• Fixed a silent crash when launching the title directly from the shortcut without having the Steam client open
• Fixed missing legs in the bush trip briefing screen when the user had a save from a previous update
• Fixed missing text for “Delete from Xbox Cloud storage”
• Accessing the EXIT POS X/Y/Z simvars should no longer crash the title
• Fixed Short Stuff achievement unlocking
• Improved compilation time for WASM modules at first boot
• Fixed font issues in the in game panels
• The same Azure Text-To-Speech voice should no longer be used by both ATC and AI traffic
• Fixed mouse cursor that remained in resize mode in specific states (pausing the game for example)
• Fixed extremity Dead Zone and Reactivity Settings not saving on Xbox
• Fixed cursor issues in cockpit and in devmode
• Fixed VR controllers not working when using Legacy interaction system
• Fixed the RTC for the Robin DR400 and the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental
• Fixed the Autopilot behaviour
• Fixed Heading select

World

• Improved some tiling / cut issues in existing manually edited watermasks
• Fixed the transistion for the water on the coastlines on specific edge cases
• Fixed various elevation data issues across the world

F/A-18E/F Super Hornet

• Update seatbelt texture
• Fixed a fuel system issue
• Tweaked wingtip vortices
• Vapor cone effect should now trigger when reaching mach 1, below 30°C and below 15000 ft

Cessna 172 Skyhawk G1000

• Propeller windmilling stop and start airspeed adjusted
• Max throttle propeller rpm on ground adjusted
• Max climb speed vertical speed adjusted
• Reduced propeller MOI to adjust propeller rpm change speed
• Adjusted aircraft MOI to adjust engine and propeller effects
• Adjusted take off elevator trim to adjust auto rotation speed
• Adjusted soft body simulation body rigidity to adjust aircraft responsiveness
• Adjusted aircraft drag to adjust for engine and propeller changes and match POH speeds
• Adjusted engine orientation to adjust engine effects
• Adjusted neutral rudder angle for compensation of P-Factor at cruise speed which increases the effects of P-Factor at climb
• New CFD parameters added to cfg file for CFD tweaking and finetuning
• New wing_virtualdihedral parameter allows to adjust the virtual dihedral
• Reduced virtual dihedral from 5° to 1° to improve stall symmetry and reduce the dihedral countering the p-factor
• Adjusted roll PID of the autopilot to better deal with turbulences

Devmode

• Fixed calculation of effects bounding box to avoid incorrect culling

So what is now correct----are only Beta-testers affected by this issue----or all Microsoft Store users.

Good set of fixes/updates for the SU9 beta... hopefully fixes some of the issues identified in https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/feedback-for-cfd-simulation-on-c172/508234/258 (first internal adoption of the new CFD features for their Cessna 172).

Also waiting to hear from established third party aircraft developers re: how they plan to adopt SU8's propellor physics and SU9's CFD stuff and new soft-body physics etc!

I am not on SU9 beta. Could someone please clarify if the ATC disconnects from the Azure servers and going totally mute are no longer happening?

I haven't seen anyone outside the beta complain about the erroneous build issue, so if you are on the live build you shouldn't experience any issues.

Olie has also confirmed in the official forums that this new build should fix the issue for beta testers.

Yes, this still happens, but it reverts to any local voices you have.  Haven't had it go completely silent.  It happened on 2 flights last week, but has not happened since.  Seems intermittent for me, sometimes it happens for a few days then stops for a week or 2.

Looks like they fixed saving extremity dead zone only on X box instead of X box and PC???? Nuts.

Man, 4 consecutive SU's and this still isn't sorted. Sigh.

sorry to say, but when I look at these updates .... it's such a chaos, I don't see any common line of fixing specific things ... only the C172 fixes are a reason to be happy. These fixes are such a slow pace and in such chaos, I don't understand it at all, this title is being developed by such a large team of people at Asobo and Microsoft .... SU is released every few months .... each should have specific and really important improvements in weather, flight model, multiplayer, etc etc ... and what we get is a patchwork of random minor or minor corrections ... echhhh. At such a pace, we will not get anything in 5 years' time.

What is the point of making such baseless statements, It is what it is. You can always go back to other titles like P3D or FSX and come back in 5 years.

Thank you for your input.

 

In any case:

Thanks Chaotic for informing us about a SECOND revision to the beta. Glad to see that these issues are being actively worked on within the beta and it doesnt appear we are in the bad old days where a Service Update would drop without a beta at all or a beta released with absolutely no revisions.

...MS Store beta testers. Steam testers were fine.

I don’t think this particular problem can be addressed by this (or any) sim update. It appears to be a fundamental problem with the Microsoft Azure servers.

It wasn't until SU5 tbh, I never had ATC issues until the XBox merge.
