[Abriael 952]

Just released in the weekly update.

World Update 14 and Local Legend 11 on July 25.

City Update 4 and Local Legend 12 on August 23 (this is the same day as the opening of Gamescom. Maybe another pass at Germany?)

Sim Update 13 and Local legend 13 on September 21 (same day as the start of Tokyo Game Show... I'd honestly KILL for a good NAMC YS-11 as the Local Legend)

World Update 15 and Local Legend 14 on October 24

Prepare for more vintage flying boats 😉

Not too excited about SU 13 on Sept 21 (... excluding futher delay). There are a number of issues (not only, but including VR-related) waiting for months to be resolved now, only to name ground texture morphing and broken PG in Canadian Cities.

Avionics are fine, World Updates are fine, Local Legends are fine, but the core sim needs more attention. MHO, of course.

Kind regards, Michael

Uh, they said pretty clearly that sim updates can be mostly of even exclusively about that? 

Unless you mean that you want it earlier, but world updates and local legends don't interfere with the development of sim updates, as they're made by completely different teams. So it's coming when it can realistically be delivered. It's not like the teams working on other content can sit on their rears and twiddle their thumbs until the engineers working on the core sim are done. Nor they can help, as they're completely different disciplines. 

A sim update also requires extensive beta testing, and we're less than 3 months away from September 21.

Thats a bummer SU13 got pushed back that far.

Was hoping the 787 would get simbrief import amongst other fixes shorter than 3 months after release.

yes, Would love to have a YS-11 in MSFS

Maybe they pushed back Sim Update 12 because they need more beta testing time. If Sim Update 12 were  going to be released in August, it's already pretty tight for beta testing since it's almost past the first week of July.

How long has the beta period been for the last couple of sim updates? My recollection is about four weeks.

I'm fairly sure some have lasted longer, but they may have included the Holidays.

Moot point when issues are ID'd in the betas and not fixed in the ensuing SU.

That’s what MSFS 2024 is all about!

Asobo/MS has most likely shifted their priorities to this new sim iteration,

& it actually makes sense for them to do so,

but there will probably be tweaks to the 2020 version when it makes sense…

I didn't have a point. I was just asking a question to try and work out when we might see the SU13 beta released.

"Not long enough" in my opinion!
