Sim update version 1.29.30.0 BETA ONLY

[kkbelos 64]

I am still puzzled that they have these hiccups. Anyway, good FPS improvement in the A310 for me, and much smoother. Now at similar level as the Fenix or even slightly better in terms of perfo.

Well, another official fake update thread. Please specify it's a beta in the title.

It's a bit confusing though, and probably unprecedented, to have a beta after a final release. But having said that I'm very happy they decided to do it this way. I'm not even going to whine about no AI traffic changes, as I'm too hooked on the A310 right now 🙂

When am I ever going to find the time to try gliders and helicopters?

Nice, maybe I will be finally able to use this aircraft.

hurry, the WorkingTitle AAU1 beta will be here next month. That will be the first time I am seriously considering the Citation Longitude as an alternative for long haul, intercontinental flights. for some light reading, they have already uploaded the 140 pages systems manual so we can make ourselves comfortable:

"This will be the first of several Aircraft and Avionics Updates (AAUs) for MSFS over the course of 2023, so there's even more to look forward to down the road! We're incredibly excited to be improving these parts of the simulations along with our teammates and friends at Microsoft and Asobo.

AAU1 will be releasing in January, with opt-in public beta flighting to begin before the end of this year. This will work just like all the other Sim Update beta test flights, and will be delivered via the normal sim update system. "

This is getting really crazy, every few days ANOTHER UPDATE is posted, and it only applies to a few people.

Had no idea it applies to the beta version only when I posted.

Just started the sim and now I'm getting another update. No idea if this is beta or for everyone.

Updated title to add beta

[Matchstick 1,886]

Can anyone who's been seeing the performance issues with the A310 comment on whether this update improves things ?
