Dev Mode

When enabling Dev Mode, a pop-up may appear which causes the sim to stop accepting input. Closing and relaunching the sim will cause it to accept input and the pop-up can be dismissed. This only occurs the first time Dev Mode is enabled.

SDK

IMPORTANT: From SU11 onwards, we added some restriction on allowed files in an Asset Group of type SimObject (aircraft), see https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Content_Configuration/SimObjects/SimObjects.htm 4 for more info on what files are allowed or not.

Please note that despite what the doc is saying you don’t have to manually edit the definition files to reference extra files that you want to put in your simobject asset groups (the doc will be updated for official release).

• (DevMode) Fixed the Wasm Debug window so that it does not provide wrong & irrelevant information for encrypted modules
• (SimConnect) GetLastSentPacketId can now be used in SimConnect C# API
• (Systems) Fixed ASSISTANCE_ITEM_AIR_MASS_FLOW_MODE insertion in AssistanceItemID SimProps enum

I had mine running 90 minutes ago and there was no sign of an update ... so maybe just got released in the last 20 minutes?

Now let's see if there's any performance improvements on the A310 on frames.

No update here

I think this is the patch those of us in the beta already got some days ago. Now it becomes the stable version. I say this because I got nothing but I am already at 1.29.30.0, having downloaded this patch last week.

Check Content Manager. There are a bunch of updates even if you're in the Beta
