Don't expect it. See the release notes

Sim Update 13 Beta Release Notes [1.34.10.0] - August 9, 2023 - Sim Update 13 Beta / Beta News - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

For my type of simming, this update is a total non-starter as in 'useless'. Except maybe for the active pause correction,... after 13 updates.

There is a faint chance it's been amended on the server side and didn't went into the changelog ... I don't want to give up hope yet. Will check tonight the Tarbes region which looked horrible.

Otherwise... I don't see much to make me happy as well.

Kind regards, Michael

• tuned autopilot VOR/LOC intercept behavior to reduce overshoot in most scenarios.
• FMS-managed mach speed selections are now rounded to the nearest 0.001 instead of 0.01
• Adjusted map and SVT absolute terrain colors to more closely match the real unit.
• B787/B747: now support data uplink features via Simbrief. allows the pilot to request the route, payload and wind forecasts on the CDU pages.

 

MSFS - the "game" that turned into study level.

Take out the the Garmin and Aircraft fixes and there's not much there to the main core, nothing about tile swapping, no METAR issues fixed, top listed bugs not fixed, white dot still not fully fixed, the pendant in me thinks they've well and truly moved onto the next sim.

For sure ! their main focus now is certainly MSFS2024

Do you have evidence to support this statement?

I havent even had time to test out the 747/787 update in AAU2 and just read about KURO 787 v2 . They might need updating again i guess.

Maybe the last update for 787/747 and then its of to NFFN and RJTT.

It’s his opinion. He said he thinks. He doesn’t need evidence, he can just speculate. He isn’t stating a fact. 
 

I too am of the same opinion of him and marcG. 

Resources have to be allocated to the new project and pretty much i think this platforms feature set is now locked in. I really hope however they work on doing some large bug squashing. I really need Asobo to stop the bleeding (of textures) in DX12 mode. That's pretty much my only major gripe.

Count me in as well.  The aircraft fixes by WT are very welcome and can be carried over to 2024, along with some of the other stuff, including the white dot / box fix.

It remains strangely quiet about the tile swapping issues, and I wouldn't expect any more work on DX12 either, which is a shame, as I would use it more if the surface tile issues at the ends of runways got fixed.

Yeah I don't love the textures right now.  The bleed through and I've got different colors of imagery tiles scattered all over major cities.

What happened to the World Updates (Toronto, Vancouver, etc) which ought ot be fixed with SU13?

Kind regards, Michael

it's not a statement, it's an opinion hence the words "me thinks"

Cool story, me thinks completely the opposite... especially given that we keep getting SU, WU, AAU, CU updates for v2020, and their roadmap for 2023 is filled out with more to come for v2020.. and oh I don't know, because they've also touched on the very subject of v2020 and how it'll continue to be supported/updated up to and *after* v2024 releases in the interviews below... yup, for all these reasons and more, me thinks they are far from "well and truly moving onto the next sim" 🙂

Lots of great news for GSX Pro with this beta:
 

Quote

Jetway API has been fixed

• PBH should now have correct values
• If an error occurred while listing jetway, the wrong one will be ignored

We reported both these issues to Asobo during SU12 Beta, very happy to know these has been finally addressed.
 

Quote

Requesting some data using the NavData API shouldn’t freeze the sim anymore.

We suspected something was going on with Navdata, now it's confirmed it was a Simconnect bug after all.
 

Quote

SimConnect_EnumerateControllers has been added. Using this function, it is now possible to have more information about hardware devices.

This will require some work on our side, but it should make it possible to use joystick buttons to control GSX. We couldn't do that before, precisely because there wasn't any way to know which and how many joysticks you had installed.
 

Quote

SimConnect_ExecuteAction, SimConnect_EnumerateInputEvents, SimConnect_GetInputEvent, SimConnect_SetInputEvent, SimConnect_SubscribeInputEvent, SimConnect_UnsubscribeInputEvent and SimConnect_EnumerateInputEventParams have been added to handle input events using SimConnect. See documentation for more information

We need to try these, but these functions look to be a better input handling method we asked for a long while.

I understand for some this update might sound "minor" in big features, but reliability and SDK improvements are really important in the long run. When something in the SDK improves, you might not see the impact immediately, but dozen of add-ons will be affected, and they'll work better in the end.

I understand all of this, but where are the resolutions to the unprofessional MSFS ATC, semblance of traffic, correct active runways per reported sfc winds, cloud types and related textures, etc, etc.....?

As someone on the official forum put it "it's more like AAU2.5"

Yep, apart from the SDK stuff, it looks like basically another Working Title update for the IFR people. No ground handling, ATC, and most disappointingly for me, still not a peep about the weather / clouds.
