RELEASE NOTES 1.34.11.0

If you are playing on PC, outdated packages in your community folder may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behavior.
If you suffer from stability issues or long loading times, move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title.

How to install a new update safely 1

General Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where uninstalled standard content would automatically reinstall.
• Several crashes have been fixed across the title.
• Added logbook compression to fix an issue where the logbook stopped recording flights after reaching 16MB limit size.
• Several localization improvements
• The dark line that appears on the horizon in some situations is now less visible.

For the AAU_02 update, we made a change to allow control of the cursor with all joysticks and not only with a gamepad. This change had the unintended consequence of causing the central white dot to display when moving the camera or when using a joystick/mouse at the same time. To address the issue, we’ve added two new options to allow players to customize the cursor behavior:

You can access these new options from Options > General Options > Accessibility.

• SHOW WHITEDOT CURSOR (Default = ON) : Display or hide the central white dot cursor when the camera moves.
• USE CURSOR FOR ALL JOYSTICKS (Default = OFF) : ON will allow all joysticks to control the cursor. If set to OFF, this will be the same behavior as before AAU_02.

Please note this change is only available on PC at this time but will come to Xbox in the next SU13 beta build.

• Fixed an incorrect unit conversion that could cause the MFD navigation data bar ISA field to display incorrect values in Fahrenheit.

Hurray, a nice 3 year celebration!

On my system both the white dot and white box around displays have been fixed in this beta version, i.e. they are no longer displayed as per pre AAU_02.

Lol. White dot as the default?! The XBox tail is really wagging the dog these days!

Yup! That's why we're only limited to high specs in our graphics options on PC......................oh wait

I left the beta in order to enjoy the increased fps in the pre beta version. Because I'm driving heavy pixels with mediocre hardware, fps is more of an issue with me than with most of you other guys.

"buried too deep in the code" and yet at least they've now decided to look at it after it was visible in the MSFS2024 promo....!

Anyway, not being in the Beta can anyone show what it's like during dawn/dusk with mountains in the way please, "...in some situations is now less visible." could mean anything!

Also yay for finally fixing the white dot/border issue, better late than never (yes I will be cynical deal with it!)

Interesting as the finding on the official beta forum is that the long loading times are seemingly related to market place content in the official folder 

Still no fix for the DX12 tiles on the ground I see.

Not in scope for SU 13 AFAIK.

I'm very interested to see if stutter free performance is back on par to the current non beta version. ? I would like to rejoin the beta to test and give feedback to the devs on the 787 but the perf on the initial release of the beta was too much of a hit to take.

It's useful on PC too.

I think that fix is probably called MSFS 2024 at this point

Glad they finally fixed the dot!  (or created the work-around at least).

About two months ago, a guy put a fix on Flightsim.to with a note to Jörg Neumann to "please Jörg, just add a darn toggle switch in options".
Due to certain sim updates, his fix stopped working, but he was right about the solution.

You see, I understand software developers.  They really want to fix the core issue as a matter of pride and to satisfy their own inquisitiveness, and I don't blame them; they will keep at it forever, but the final conversation probably went something like this...

Jörg:  "You have had two good goes at it now and it still isn't fixed.  It is even starting to annoy me now as I fly under bridges!  What's going on?".

Mr. X:  "Well Jörg, it is very complex and it is proving difficult to pin down, we are still trying to figure out what exactly has gone wrong".

Jörg:  "It's taking far too long for what it is.  Just add the darn toggle switch and have done with it like that guy on FS.TO said a few months ago.  Then I can get back to picking the next Local Legend.  Let's see...  Poland...  OK, lets have the CASA C-212 Aviocar!".

I too am interested whether performance is back to pre-beta norms. Someone comment please.
