SU10 - What's going on?

The beta is like a 50%+ increase in performance, frame times, and smoothness.  If you are willing to use DLSS you can lock at 60 FPS all day. But I am guessing you won’t because it isn’t perfect and makes the avionics screens a little more blurry with ghosting on the speed tape numbers. Especially noticeable on desktop monitors, not bad at all on large 4k TVs. 

The reinstall issue is only if you have the MS store version and use the default MS store community folder location. 

Still a beta and it's not mandatory for a reason.

Maybe they should change next week to next  month😉

Planned in August, we are almost in October .... says it all. 

The problem is they can’t win. No matter what they do, one group or individual will complain.

When they just dumped releases out based on dates, folks complained that they weren’t beta testing and the quality was poor.

So they started doing beta releases and testing and slipping release dates based on feedback and quality. And people still complain.

For years…no for decades…we had MSFS releases that never got updates. Maybe one “service pack” years into the release to address an extension pack or egregious set of bugs they had to fix. And we lived with it.

3rd party devs told us time and again “it will be done when it’s done” and we smiled and threw down our $79.99 for their magic months after initially expected.

It’s software. Things happen.

They could start with proper communication and not just keep radio silence for weeks. Sure, people would still complain, but at least we would KNOW why we still wait

better for them to take their time and do it right than have people flying with gigantic rainbow trees in DX12

They have made it pretty clear over at their forums what is going on and updated everyone on basically a weekly basis.

I don't understand what's the problem here. The sim is working flawlessly with SU9, so people can still fly while waiting for the new update. Better they do it proberly now instead of releasing a version full of bugs.

THIS ^^^^^^^ 

Thank you Asobo for implementing a testing process that does not break my running sim on almost every update. Take as long as you need.

And then if they said “it will be out next week” and it slips due to bugs or an issue like nVidia slipping drivers, folks will claim they “lied” etc.

O boy, here we go again🤣

Maybe silly question, I am on SU9, is there a way to participate in SU10 public beta?

Yes, by joining the beta through the xbox app. (Full procedure on the official MSFS forums).

It may be a bit pointless now though unless you are really desperate to try the new features, as the full official SU10 update really is not far way, and there is a small risk of needing a full reinstall when going from the beta to full SU10 - Although mine has been fine on the last two beta's, but the first one I joined screwed up my install when trying to get the full update at the end of the beta.

Edit:  Thanks Vodka for supplying the link in your post (below).

I can tell you the BETA is working flawlessly for me on the last 2 releases.

The Multi Monitor is working great and FPS seems fine, for me a 20% increase from U9.

I think the NVIDIA new driver is holding up the X12 and that may be why there was a further delay.

I must say ASOBO/MS are the most responsive and development sharing SIM company I have eve dealt with and I have simmed since the 80's on Macs and PC's.

A little more patience and everyone will have great new features to play with. Yes it is a game and so is every other sim you use on a desktop machine w/o FAA approved hardware and software. But you can still practice and help stay current though you can't log time in your log books. That really does not matter even for real life pilots. 

The new Multi monitor option really makes this work for cockpit builders.
